That's a really good point.

IF the media sees it as a kind of an esoteric matter, internal to the FN themselves, they won't report on it. Give them an angry white guy to play off of, and now it's a "story" - lol. They'll ask you leading questions, that are hard to say no to in the moment. They'll bait you and make you look like an asshole.

I think one reason the media might leave this alone, is its massive complexity. To be seen as accurately reporting, they'd have to contend with at least 100 years of myth, and stereotype. It would be a gargantuan endeavour to discuss it in the "public square", through the 6'clock news. There are plenty of long format books on the matter, however.

--- Global TV and it's advertiser's don't want to be seen in any negative way against the Natives now, they want to sell, sell, sell and being classed as an anti anything, it better be popular or people won't buy your product anymore, they lose business if they get labelled as a ----negative source.
Jel It's all about the money - now Justin and John and many others have openly endorsed favoring and knowing the world is watching Canada now, they love Canada now!
-----Canada is the most popular place to go to now, New York Times placed it on the go to place, the world has taken note -- Quebec and BC and Ontario all go to

Ya think real hard, because you will be representing about 4.5 million people, not just one guy, I'm sure thats what Jelvis means...dont let the general public in on whats going on, thats stupid. Would that be right jelvis??
Lets consider what it means to "control the media control the message"

The left wing media will spin it and try and make srupp look bad , however that is how govt and some of their non profit “ partners” operate. Thru fear and persecution. Srupp your retired. Their is f all they can do to you! Stand your ground , don’t be cowed by people who don’t have the jam to take a stand . Be respectful and articulate and the rest off us will sort the wheat from the chaff. So unfortunate that individuals like yourself have to take the hit while orgs that take people’s money hide in the shadows. Keep up the good work !

The scary part is.... the courts will decide,,,, the courts stacked with Liberal judges.

You do know six out of nine judges on the Supreme Court were nominated by Stephen Harper right?

I wouldn't engage with this.

There are two types of people on this forum as far as i'm concerned.

One - People who care about the fate of the hunting community in BC and our hunting opportunities for ourselves, our children and future generations of BC.

two - those who do not.

As far as I can tell, lots in this second category are here to drag you down into meaningless squabbles, sow division and pull your eye off the target. Keep your eye's on the target, and the thread on track.
