FN by-passing canadian govnt straight to Queen for ownership of all "Crownland"

[RadHimself]

Heard a peice on CBC radio the other night stating the FN bands are rallying together and sending lawyers straight to the top in an attempt to gain what is rightfully theirs... All of our crownland...

What do we know about this ladies and gentlemen?

i know a party was trying to slide a bill through the back door in bc gov to ban public use of crownland a few years ago... but this is a touch extreme

anyone?

Never happen, at least while we are still armed.

That would cause an outright war and I'm pretty sure the fn couldn't win that battle

< 5% of the population who suck up≥ 20% of the Federal budget to which a minuscule few contribute to want ownership over all crown land.
The Queen, or any succeeding ruler, would would have to be the ultimate despot to grant that favor.

Getting a little tired of the F.N. bullshit, if we didn't come here they would still be throwing rocks at their next meal.
Maybe we should start charging them for the use of the technology we brought with us. Guns, nylon nets, motor vehicles etc.

You can't begrudge FN for the way things are, and the way they are going. The problem is our government and courts that have allowed things to get to where they are at. If someone keeps giving you money and letting you do whatever you want, what do you expect?

[IslandWanderer]

Lol, never happen. Sounds like attention seeking to me.

Never happen, at least while we are still armed.

While I can savvy the sentiment, this country is well past the point of standing up for anything; at least on a large enough scale to do anything domestically. The generations of young men that fought and died for the very freedoms we've so eagerly given away, were sadly not replaced. Our current crop of 'men' is not even fit for the work force, let alone an armed force.

While native entitlement is a dire situation, I'm betting it'll pale in comparison to what we'll be facing in a generation or two from the flood of 'new' Canadians they flew over in recent years.

Maybe the laws in this country need to change the definition of who is FN. Unless you are 100% FN you are just a Canadian like everybody else. In other words no mixed blood. Just a thought.

Laws do need to change, but why do they have to differentiate one group vs another? Why not one set of laws for all equally? Same taxes, same access to public services, same wildlife laws, same land use laws!
