Battleground year for chiefs

[Snman]

I'm sick of the 'chiefs' only wanting what's good for them and having no regard for what other Canadians need or want. I will never support the Indians in this country as long as they continue with this type of posture.

As if they dont just want even more money. Im also tired of projects being shut down .

Look at the mess those Dakota idiots made . Protesting working people. They were lucky Trump wasnt president.

they sure seem to have no problem with driving in cars that need gas, or living in there homes that need electricity

Good points, both of you. Why do we allow ourselves to be held hostage like this when Indians make up less than 5% of the population of BC and closer to 4% of Canada's population? To look good on the world stage? I understand that we will support them financially in perpetuity but the time has come for some common sense.

Only in Canada do you lose a war and come out the victor.

Think of the chiefs and of quebec as well.

Can not think of any where else this has ever happened.

Our country is held hostage by this nonsense

Agree....would love to see a time come when the taps get shut off...put them on notice that in 2020 they can be just like every other Canadian and treated as such.

Patience. A dog can only bite the hand that feeds it so many times. The pendulum will swing. Patience.

The one that got me . Protesting to protect the territory of spirit bear. A mythical creature. This is like saying u cant build in Kelowna. Its Ogopogo territory

Chief Phillip received a liver transplant because of lifestyle choices he has wisely changed. I can't help but wonder how many natural resource revenues paid for that huge liver transplant bill and it's ongoing anti rejection meds? I am pretty sure that "consultation" wasn't required and damned sure wind power or solar power didn't pay for it.

I wondee how long they used to live. Part of me thinks before 1950 the average native might have been real strong and healthy

Here we go again....another anti-First Nations thread.

How about going down to your local reservation and speaking to real people about their real issues?

Instead of complaining about how much "they get" look into WHY they're getting it.

Educate yourselves.

Its 2018.

Never met a native that wasnt friendly and approachable.

Never met a native that caused me much trouble at all actually.

I dont think this is about the average guy . Its more the national politics of it

[the truth]

100% correct
