It is not a legal argument which was my point. I do notice you now only call it an argument. The word legal must have what conveniently escaped your attention? You think you can deflect with that dropping of the word legal? Right. Next it is not even an argument. He offered no reason why the price to protect the integrity of the legal system not the merits warranted he not proceed further. He simply decided this arbitrarily in secret. it is this half assed secret deliberation and after the fact rationalization Canadians do NOT boy. This WE you refer to, 70% of this WE does not buy his back room deal that keeps secret the amount. This 70% we does not buy anything he says now they found out his office lied and paid the money a week early to prejudice the widow of the person Kadr killed trying to freeze his money pending a legal review. That Sir was deliberate political manouvering and no amount of spin can make an excuse for it. Your boy Trudeau has a large brown stain on his punk shit, white pant outfit he wears to each gay pride parade. I also note you have no explanation why Trudeau has no problems continuing to spend millions on a legal case to dey veterans benefits but did suddenly have financial concern over the Kasr case. You have no explanation how a Prime Minister who in two years has bankrupt this nation with out of control spending is only fiscally concerned about one legal case. Who you? Listen Spicer knew when to walk away, so should you. You defend the indefensible. I am glad to see though Trudeau prancing about in Halifax. That's his idea of leadership. Giggling giggling and posing with drag queens for photo ops in Halifax. What a hip guy. Some of us want a Prime Minister with substance and this thing called a vertebrae. He chooses instead to be a prancing photo op. That's what he offers. Yabba Dabba Doo. He lives the Flintstone theme song. Good for him.

No to kidnappers. No to terrorists. I'd rather my tax dollars fighting this pos than making him a millionaire, even if it cost the ridiculous amounts JT claims.

Not sure why you mention "American" brainwashing. I don't think religion is a form of brainwashing. Obviously Betsy has a more conservative view than myself about the possible interpretation of the Bible. But I don't think people who have religious beliefs are necessarily "brainwashed". There have been incidents of it, yes. (Jim Jones, etc.) But that doesn't mean every preacher, minister, priest, pope, imam, etc., is brainwashing their respective flocks.

For at least the near future, the concentration will be on making aircraft more carbon neutral with increased use of biofuels.

It was backroom hi jinks. That's what you call secretive agreements being made against your countries wishes/interests.

Another view on Trudeau's Payout 10.5:

I'm fine with moving on from the First Nation to Municipality comparison as it was only preface to the point I was really trying to make...which is what Attawapiskat received in federal funding versus what other First Nations received. Again, you persist that the $12,000 per per person is 'normal' yet various surrounding First Nations show much lower numbers. You also confirmed that the $90M was for normal government services and excluded the capital costs for housing but now you are purposely throwing that back into the mix and saying its too complicated. Maybe for you it is. The reality is that the funding to a given First Nation in the area remained fairly consistent over the 2006-2010 period in discussion. (This is clearly noted on the Financial Transparency site if you care to look.) But to account for any irregularities, one can look at the five year average funding and you would still find that Attawpiskat had much higher per capita funding that surrounding First Nations. I didn't do the research on every First Nation in Ontario so it is quite possible that other First Nations receive as much or more however the point is that the complaint that Attawapiskat is underfunded just can't be taken seriously. I know....your assertion is that all First Nations are underfunded which again comes down to what the Treaties say. What is the government supposed to provide? But yet you steered clear when I asked about why is funding for housing or roads included when the Treaty covering this area says nothing about that. It seems very obvious that objectivity is not a strong suit of yours. The reality is that other reserves make it work because they have more 'own source' revenue which is the way is should be. The reserve system is not intended to provide EVERYTHING for these people but to supplement them. If a reserve needs the government to fully subsidize it then it shouldn't be in existence. You can use your personal insults all you want. In fact I love when you get to that point because it makes me realize that you don't really have any facts to argue instead you are arguing from emotion. I get it....you feel bad for these people and think that we should just hand over the bank accounts and let them do what they want. Unfortunately it can't and won't work that way. There needs to be objectivity and accountability which again by the audit done, there was neither accountability or objectivity to be found in Attawpiskat. So....instead of playing the victim role and making all other, lower funded yet still properly functioning reserves look bad, you should instead point out the poor leadership and issues that Attawiskat presented. But you just can't do that can you? And you wonder why all aboriginals get lumped into the bad stereotypes. Yeesh.
