Oleg you make me laugh! In fact most on here make me laugh--there's only one or two who actually know what they're talking about when it comes to aboriginal issues--the rest of you sound like babbling fools. I guess that means if you're right-wing--you're a babbling fool

I think it began when all the boats from Europe and the Uk arrived

Isn't that what most of you do with aboriginal people? Paint them "all" with the same brush? My point has now been made Raitt also nicely made my point

Right-wingers are all alike--immature thinkers--worse than little kids

Charter knows the issues the rest of you are babblin fools when it comes to aboriginal issues. Borg...why did you laugh about the life expectancy? That was common amongst many cultures not just aboriginals? Many lived over a century when there was a lot less poisins in the environment. The fact that you laughed says a lot about your mentality as a little-kid right winger SmallC I know you're trying but you still don't get it. Try to reverse the situation. What if aboriginals showed up in Europe and the UK centuries ago smelling like hell--just as the European and UK Boat People smelled when they got here--and when the aboriginals got to Europe and UK and said OK Great smelling Europeans and Brits--this is the new law and now you "must" live by it? You are no longer nice scented Europeans and Brits but you now must live like an NDN? What are you going to do? Hope you get the point? Charter knows the issues--listen and you might learn

Proud to be Canadian, but also aboriginal tribe of origin who has a proud history with songs and tradition! Not NHL, Not the Simpsons, Not some song called "Take Me Out To The Ballgame." 2 Founding Nations? HMMMHH Interesting that they mention that when the newcomers fought for the land, the Huron and Iroquois were recruited as allies and once the English won, they conveniently forgot to mention those great indian warriors How come nobody ever mentions Tecumseh who saved Canada from becoming yanks? Or the Huron Youth who saved the english from scurvy, when they were stuck on their ship in an ice-jam, with a decoction made from tree bark etc? The next time the english came over they loaded down with lemons and limes and the rest is history 100 years later, some wise-guy scientist stole the remedy and called it Buckley's Mixture Once again no credit given to the indians The history books outright lie and make it look as though, once the Europeans showed up that the indians have it better despite all that has happened to the indians from the whiteman including: land squatting, arson, rape, kidnapping, child molestation, oh and terrorism You know that saying "the Indians Have been fighting Terrorism since 1492 Yup--I am still proud to be a Canadian

Canada is a commonwealth country The original constitution was BNA Technically the Govenor General is Queen's represenatative The Royal Proclamation of 1763 pre-dates the constitution This set the basis for treaties therefore in the legal sense--Canada has unresolved issues with the land and Indians No offence--this is what I mean by "squatters." Isn't that what a squatter does? Steals the land and settles on it?

They still are not legal property of the indians. The banks will not use anything on reserve as collateral like a house or a parcel of land

Works the same both ways--not all aboriginal people are alike either, or should be subject to generalizations from bozos like Argus and Geoffrey

Law and order!! Our society is ripe with law-breaking, land squatting arses like you--the government is one great big, lying, deceitful, land squatter as you rape and pillage the resources--think of all the stuff you've done to the indians just so you can have money to whine about

Argus a teenaged punk can make better arguments than you. You right-wingers are all-alike-- "Little kid mentality" Little boy stuck in a man's body" When your boat-people ancestors got here, there were no showers on the boats and no rose-scented shampoo 100 years later you smell like a rose and have the nerve to whine! If you don't like it squatter--go back to where you came from

It is still not legal you bozo. Hence the term"squatters." Reserve lands do not belong to aboriginal people so you were right in one thing by your statement "hold." It is held in trust by the squatters and therefore in the legal sense--the aboriginals have a very valid argument.

Good one Machjo! I tell you, these dim-wits are like a stubborn forest fire! You stomp one out and another one flares up--this ones name is geoffrey. They never ever realize that it was their ancestors who squatted on the land so that they can have cash with the resources. Had it not been for the land, flared-up, big yaps would be in Europe on welfare and not have access to the rich resources of Canada. Geoffrey, if you don't like it, may I suggest a one-way ticket back to where you originated from

Yup! Ship all you land squatting terrorists back to Europe and the UK and that'll solve all the problems! The only difference is this time round the boats will have showers! So when you walk off that boat in Europe or the UK, you will surely smell like a rose!

The immigrant problems started here when the first boats arrived from Europe and the UK. The solution--ship the whole works of you back to Europe and UK! DAMN IMMIGRANT TERRORISTS

The recent comment by the Liberal politician in the Kootenays strengthens my point that most right-wing politicians are outright dumb when it comes to aboriginal issues. The guy doesn't have a clue about taxation so perhaps Campbell should tell him to keep his yap shut

Provinces are a nuisance! The real waste of money! However, it is because of the existance of provinces that allowed all you European Boat people to squat on the land a plunder all the resources with a dumb smirk on your face If you have the nerve to complain then you should be put back on that boat and shipped back overseas

Factor in that most don't even have a clue when it comes to the truth on aboriginal issues. They just believe all the stero-types and this pure ignorance has wasted billions of dollars

I'II applaud the day when we see more responsibility! Especially when you look around our society and you see so-called grown men who are worse than little kids--I call them "right wing lil boyz" No wonder the world is so messed up!! You have all these idiots who think they have all the answers...yet they're a bunch of fools

Shows waht you know--the SCC of Canada rulings have practically been ignored with many aboriginal cases

Maybe we should just start over! That means shipping the whole works of you "boat-people-land-squatting-terrorists" back to Europe and the UK

Ship immigrant terrorists? That means boat loads of people will be shipped back to Europe and the UK You immigrant terrorist squatter you

Good grief! Now Oleg has a side-kick!

Oleg--thanks for explaining why you are the way you are

The recent visit from the former president will do more harm than good for him (Harper). Why would that guy surface in Calgary? It proves the linkages with Harper and his right-hand man. Election time--Canadians will come to their senses
