NDP Saves Northern Community

[err]

This week, the Liberals can hang their heads in shame. They had been warned repeatedly over the past few years that something was horribly wrong with the water on the Kashechewan First Nations reserve on James Bay. They just kept ignoring it. Thanks to NDP MPP Gilles Bisson (Timmins-James Bay) and NDP MP Charlie Angus, the plight of the First Nations people has finally gotten public attention... And something has been done...

"Mr. Hampton cut deep. Don't tell me about the Constitution, the former NDP attorney-general said. 'Yes, there is a constitutional responsibility, but there's also something called the ethical responsibility of government,' he said. Mr. McGuinty hung his head, looking almost as uncomfortable as he does whenever he is reminded of his pre-election promise to extend support for children with autism.

Thankfully, there's someone looking out for the people of the province...

Since when is the welfare of a community living on an Indian reserve the responsibility of the Provincial government? Can you point out the Ontario Government website where this responsibility is pointed out, because I sure as hell can't find it. Everything I read points back to the Feds. Thanks in advance.

PS - Howard Hampton doesn't know his ass from a fishing hole full of tainted water.

I think that Howard Hampton is the only decent, honest political leader in Ontario. His statements from the above quote say it all. I have re-quoted him, and put the "really important parts" in bold letters:

If you and your Conservative party think that we should just ignore the plight of our neighbours because it isn't "our responsibility", remind me not to vote for the party comprised of, and for selfish, ignorant rednecks.

Again, Howard Hampton is more ignorant, opportunistic and selfish than every conservative in the Province combined.

The only rednecks I see are the uneducated, selfish yokels voting "me first!" when they vote NDP. The entire province would be like that hellhole reserve if we put Howard and his merry band of self-centred, deluded fools in charge.

The more you talk, the more of a moron you show yourself to be.

How is helping a community from being poisoned being "opportunistic and selfish". I understand that it is not in the nature of people who vote Conservative to want to help people, other than themselves, so maybe that explains your stance....

Angus has worked for the last three years with northern First Nations in neighbouring Quebec on issues of community development and economic opportunities.

For an issue that's been around for at least two years,Angus didn't seem to think any more seriously about the water problem than the Liberals.

You show your lack of intelligence. We should be thankful that there are people looking out for the public welfare. These guys are heros.... And your party.... doesn't have any at the moment.....

That's a real challenge when you or the extreme right-wing positions that you take are the topic....

I'm just wondering why the rules of the forum don't apply to you?

Congrats guys, you've successfully wasted a whole thread with a pathetic partisanship pissing-match.

I'm closing this thread and deleting it shortly afterwards. I will continue to close threads until some of you can learn to discuss politics with respect. And maybe I'll throw in a few bannings for good measure.
