The 33-year-old said he and a cousin left the house to grab There's one answer. will you kids please READ. -end rant- Thank you. AHHHH ... but the question is were there THREE apples outside ... or was uncle apple inside watching, but doesn't want to say what he saw ... ??? You may have to read back to find out.

We did not "win" anything. Show me references that say Canada or Britain "won" a war with Indigenous Peoples. You won't find any because there were no 'Indian Wars' in Canada, only in the US. We did not "win" and then make treaties. We only made treaties ... peace and friendship treaties. The treaties allowed us to settle in certain areas, but the treaties never ceded ownership of any land nor did they include any 'surrender' by Indigenous Peoples, who remains sovereign as they were before contact, and retain jurisdiction over the land. They have not exercised jurisdiction until recently but they have every right to do so, especially now as we have grown well past the limits of the treaties and we are infringing directly on their territories now. It is very disturbing how many Canadians have the mistaken impression that we somehow 'beat the Indians' and 'won a war' for Canada. That is bs, and it is VERY distressing that our schools don't do a better job of teaching the truth. It simply is not the truth.

An update from the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Land permits will avoid conflicts Posted 3 hours ago http://www.brantfordexpositor.ca/ArticleDi...y.aspx?e=714013 As one who initially helped conceive the Six Nations' land development protocol, I would like to speak to its merits and the thoughts behind the idea in the light of recent criticism from developers, mostly, about the protocol and the fees proposed. The idea came as we saw the enormous cost, for all concerned, of reclaiming a relatively small piece of land in Caledonia. Not only the financial cost but also hours of lost time with our families, lost hours of employment income, fines, jail time and criminal records and loss of personal and friendly relations with the Caledonia folk and the animosity now ingrained. So why not devise a way to circumvent future conflict by creating a permit process whereby the Six Nations Confederacy would have an opportunity to comment on development of land whose true ownership has yet to be resolved in a fair and equitable resolution process? This permit process would serve many useful purposes. Developers would be made fully aware of the nature of the history of the land in question and whether Six Nations, not being completely against development, has any concerns regarding archeological, environmental or culturally significant concerns. The permit fee, just as a fee to any municipality, would be an administrative fee to conduct the required research of the concerns mentioned above. Now Six Nations can act in a proactive manner rather than reacting with all its potential for misunderstanding and conflict. Developers must understand there is a hugely unresolved land ownership question across Ontario. Municipalities must understand that by providing approvals to develop on such lands they are breaking Canadian law, as stated by the Supreme Court, by not consulting and accommodating First Nations who have interests in the area. It is not fair or legal, in any law, to reinforce dispossession of such lands by developing on them before just resolution and closure. This will likely require international arbitration or mediation, of course, given that Canada is in a position of conflict of interest in arbitrarily framing the structure for land claims processes and the unrealistic caps on financial awards associated. ... So let's dispense with the ridiculous accusations of a money grab and mafia-like behaviour because this Haudenosaunee land development permit process is good for everyone involved. It is a proactive measure that will prevent many conflicts in the future. This new protocol is a good offer to developers and, given the determination of our people as well as the ruling of the Supreme Court regarding the legal requirement to consult and accommodate First Nations, it may be an offer they can't refuse.

http://www.allbusiness.com/north-america/c...-3470923-908232 Municipalities and the 'Duty to Consult' (!!)

The Toronto Star reports that The Federal Court of Canada has ruled that the Musqueam band "must be consulted" before the Federal government sells two multi-million dollar buildings in downtown Vancouver. Justice Frederickk Gibson issues an interlocutory injunction that prohibits the Federal Government from " transferring, selling or otherwise disposing of the properties" pending a formal hearing on the matter. The buildings are located in an area the band claims as part of its traditional territory. This is a groundbreaking ruling. It gives teeth to the "Duty to Consult". A government cannot sell properties to get them out of its possession in order to to avoid land claims on them.

With respect, Argus, you are not the one the hate messages are directed at so how would you know how it feels to have a hate message delivered to your home?

They were not the owners of the entire site. They were just the builders of two houses. The Developer was in negotiations and the OPP had closed the site. Builders and their crews were not to be on the site. Just want to be sure you are not surprised at the outcome. The facts are not clear enough yet to be drawing hasty conclusions.

So this is a place people come to to disrespect the group of their choice??

Ah ... the last gasp. Good night.

Excuse me? Denigrating another's religion are we? Now what's that Golden rule?

I am too old and wise to care.

I await the homo lobby's court cases demanding that they be given the "right" to spawn kids. I believe it promotes hatred and possibly violence against the children of gay/lesbian parents. You have labeled them with an offensive slur, and also their parents. This is not publicly acceptable.

Well, hey ... it could be worse ... couldn't it? Is this really up there with life's top 10 concerns when the RCMP and Legion have already settled it? I think not.

Do you mean non-white/non-Christian "racial block plurality" ?

Hey ... what do you think of getting rid of all corporate and personal income taxes, and instead having consumption taxes? I read it is being touted internationally as a way of rebalancing, economically and environmentally.

Not exactly. Much too soon to conclude that. There is some video of the Gualtieris before they go in, some injury evidence, etc to be considered. Sam Gualtieri was carrying a bat, or bar of some kind that he brought from his truck. It's in the video. Then it was across the throat of a fifteen year old, pinning him to the wall. I don't know what was said, but the fact is the OPP had closed the site. The Gualtieris snuck in the back. There was no one in their house then. They were playing 'capture the flag', I guess ... with a baseball bat ... just in case some kid ran between it and the wall ... or something. This Joe Gualtieri speaks always of what the nephews saw or did, never himself. Was he or was he not there? He has never said. He said the nephews went for 2x4's.

Do you mean all religious convictions are irrational?

jefferiah ... you are still very young. I don't concern myself about things that haven't happened. Find something real.

Now I do think that is ridiculous, if indeed it has happened. It is an invitation to meditation and silent prayer or whatever one chooses to call it.

I would support anyone's right to a lawsuit. 'Due process' is a right. In the real case under discussion, the man was running for public office and he said it to the media. It was pretty obviously public and offensive to people. The majority seemed offended since voters deserted him. The lawsuit tells the tale.

I believe leprechauns are adorable flaming little homosexuals.

Someone believing what you do is wrong is not denigrating. Believing and stating publicly are two different things. Some things are just in bad taste in public. Believe me ... there are things that I believe that I do not state publicly ... here ... to offend. I am sure you do to. That's just the way it works. And I am not responding to any more made up scenarios. Get some life experience. And as for your parents ... as far as you are concerned as a minor, they are the law.

Yes I can, and I do ... and I think we are close to something here ... When a homosexual demands that everyone must condone it, they are infringing upon the rights of the rest of society. I don't think they demand that "everyone must condone it". No, you don't have to do that. You can believe it is wrong for you ... and the vast majority of men are not gay. ... and for everyone else if you insist, in private, but you cannot disdain same-sex families publicly. Our society, through our laws, demands that the few men and women who gay/lesbian must not be publicly disrespected. It simply is a matter of civil public behaviour. I think it is the expectation - in 'a public forum' in Canada. I think perhaps the children in families of same-sex couples might have a perspective on that. Public humiliation is something gay and lesbian parents feel strongly about protecting their children against.
