First Nation Issues

[scoutlt1]

Not even one mention of civil war? I'm impressed haha

Maybe there's no need to "mention" it.

And maybe it's not so f***ing funny....

Why would there be a civil war, unless you mean among First Nations? Many of the bands along the route were in favour of the pipeline and what it would bring to there community. They were poised to receive significant infrastructure upgrades, jobs, general income. All gone because of 18 (I believe that is the number of bands who filed suits, please correct me if I am wrong) were opposed. There were more than that in Alberta alone who supported it, plus the ones in BC who had signed. What are they to do now?

For all the pomp and bluster that gets tossed around in this site 99% of the people here support First Nation rights on hunting and fishing and consultation. No one wants to see what the mistakes of the past repeated or compounded. But the reality is the vast, vast majority of humans will look after their own best interests and when 96% are having jobs taken, prices sky, schools closed, taxes increased all so a select minority of the percent of the other 4% can get there way something is going to happen. Civil war? Doubtful, but something.

I think we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg on these issues. Gonna get a lot worse before we see any improvement, if that's even possible (improvement, I mean)

10 years from now if white guy wants to hunt, better divorce his wife and marry one with a status card.

if you could unambiguously define "proper", that would be tremendous, thanks.

Inherently oozing common sense, rules abided and respected by all.

You're going to have a very different perspective on the UN if we end up on the planetary dark side of an authoritarian US, and China looking for new expansion opportunities.
