Who owns it?  The community, individuals, families? What about all of the land currently under claim? They did this once in the states and because of the economic status of some of the reservations they immediately sold off most of their land to maintain an operating budget.  Some of the...

I am surprised i didn't see a thread on this (unless I missed one,). Do you think the Conservative move to tax Income Trusts was a good or bad political move? Emphasis on political.

Thank god you are not in charge.  I find it interesting when casual uniformed observers say, "They (Native people) were conquered, they need to deal with reality!  Suck it up" etc.  Then they incessantly whine like little babies when society does something they dislike, when someone else's...

RIP brother.

How is this for one law (this ties in with the land claims thread). My band is currently negotiating with the province of Manitoba for land claims settlements.  The process began in the early 90's, its called Treaty Land Entitlement (TLE) and recognized (in our community anyway) numbers were...

I don't see any greed here, except that displayed by developers that do not recognize justice, and lazy beaurocrats that will only act when confronted with a media crisis. Canada was never "taken" from Native people, it was legally tranfered through negotiated agreements.  Legal agreements that...

You guys completely lost me.  I don't buy the alarmist stance that anything that creates inequality (nation within a country) creates conflict, or even warfare as some of you would imply.  Not every Canadian is a privileged middle class wasp, to recognize such may be extremely threatening...

Sep 14th 2006 | OTTAWA From The Economist print edition Yet another land-claim dispute turns ugly and shines a spotlight on the failure of Canada's policies towards its aboriginal people Corbis CANADA'S much vaunted reputation for tolerance took a beating this summer in Caledonia, a town 80km...

Not much at all, but I did not bring Caledonia into the thread others did. I will start a new thread.

Sorry, my 'agenda' got the best of me.

I think you are being to strict with your definition of nation.  Nation means many things and a 'nation within a nation' stance is simply taking a different look at what is currently occurring in Canada in different forms.

Do you know this or you are assuming this? If a school is on a CFB it is a federal responsibility.  If it is being run by provincial authorities it is only via a negotiated agreement bwtween the CF and the local school division / province.  Which is why I am asking these questions.

I am speaking here about elementary, middle and high schools on base. 

Policy question hopefully there is a SME in here somewhere. This relates to primary and secondary schools on base, not trade / MOC schools. Schools on base are unique in that they are considered a federal responsibility (similiar to First Nations School) not a provincial responsibility and I...

It will be interesting to see if they pull the ads because of the Dawson College incident.  You can bet they'll be discussing it right now.

I've tried a whole bunch of different slings and still prefer the 2 point bungee inside webbing trick.  It keeps wpn tight to your body, you can swing it around easily and its easy to bring up to high ready. 

Are our laws being applied equally? No definitely not.  Government of Canada makes agreements and selectively chooses to disregard them at times that are convenient to Canada.  Winnipeg city rightfully belongs to the Metis as an example.  Many many agreements, law abiding agreements, have been...

I wanted to add to the positive reviews of Daves Surplus.  I have bought numerous items from them and have had tremendous customer service and delivery.
