In Ontario that is not what is required. No forms, no special database etc. All that is required is that Status Natives present their card at the time of sale to claim RST (PST) exemption.

That's it!

I can't speak for anywhere else, but when it comes to NB, I know from personal experience that charter.rights is correct. I worked for a small business (tiny business...I was the only employee!) in which all I had to see was a Status card in order to subtract the tax.

I just want to set some facts straight, First off the OKA crises is not one of Canada's finest moments in it's history , and when i say that i mean for both sides....stupid shit was done on both sides..and franklly i'm surprised it ended as well as it did...

Mohawk Warriors are some of the finest, honourable men anywhere. Many of them are former Navy Seals, and Special Ops in the US Armed Forces and wear medals and scars for chances they took defending the US and Canada in many world conflicts (today, including Afghanistan). The only difference between them and the Canadian defense social network is that they have seen battle right up and close and when push comes to shove they would avoid it until there was no other choice. But when they unleash...they have been described as like a coiled rattlesnake who keep biting and injecting venom and will not die until his head is chopped off.

And you may be right, i've served with a great many native soldiers, all good soldiers, but the ones i knew i doubt very much would have been involved with the likes of Lasagna,or Noriega...,

and while you've said above many have served as Navy seals, or Spec ops warriors ....those at OKA where definately not of that caliber, not even close...in fact according the the Warrior publications a blog written by Mohawk warriors, they say the exact opposite of your quote...and from what i seen on the ground as a young soldier at the time i would not put most even in the soldier catagory....

Now things may be different today, but back then...NO way...

You might want to read the Great Law and study Mohawk tactics sunshine. The 25 Mohawk Warriors "held off" 2500 troops. That is a fact. That doesn't mean they went head to head in armed combat, silly goose. It means they managed to outsmart, out maneuver and outlast the Canadian Armed Forces and all the political will in Canada. That is really what conflict is about. And that is why Mohawks are survivors of 500 years of attempted genocide. The Dutch, the French, the British and now Canadians couldn't beat them so instead they made allies out of them. Without Six Nations (among others) help in the American Revolution and the War of 1812, it is likely that we would all be Americans. Kapeesh?

And of course the game of war or conflict is about who can outlast the other. 25 men did a superb job of keeping the Canadian Armed Forces at bay until the end, without firing a shot. The Canadian Military could take a lesson from that.

Your numbers of warriors is way off, in fact they numbered well over a hundred, and maybe 75 or more when the military showed up....25 or less is what was left on the last day of the stand off...the others had faded into the woods, and i'm trying to be nice...There was serveral different levels of command during OKA, those radicals or Warriors types like Lasagna,Noriega or Rambo....then there was also the old and wise also viaing for control....it is this last crew that really set the tone, of the conflict ....without them it would have been a blood bath...i don't know how many times drunken warriors almost started a fire fight or how close they came to have thier foreheads opened up with a 7.62 rd at over 800 meters....

What scared me as a soldier was how many times we exericised a take down of OKA , using maximum force, on Canadian citizens...So was i scared shitless ya i was, not because the warriors scared me...but rather i'd spent my entire carear up to this piont training to kill commies....not Canadians...

Did they outsmart the government, i don't think so, I'm glad the military played it out the way they did, without use of lethal force, because trust me it would have been a blood bath , a one way blood bath and it would have changed Canada forever. All it would have taken was for one person to fire one round and things would have escalated from there...those 25 that were left on the closing day, would not have lasted 5 mins...not with the fire power we had one the ground...in the air or in the water...
