I think Theo is absolutely right, and cudos to him for speaking up about it. Canada's past (and to a lesser extent current) treatment of native peoples is shameful, and a real black mark on our otherwise great nation. Most Canadians don't see it or think of it because they aren't around natives, or reservations. It is only when you are in a place like Horse Lake and you see it on a daily basis that you realize what a crap deal these people have gotten.

With all due respect... buuuuuuuuuullshinguard!!!
You want to see discrimination checkout what black people go through in the south. See what Asians go through everywhere. See what hispanics go through everywhere. See what homosexuals go through everywhere, especially with the Red Neck Agenda in full swing. Oh, and this isn't just what white people are doing. Its what ALL colors, creeds and sects are doing to each other. Blacks hate blacks (the African Americans do not like Africans and Carribean blacks and vice versa), blacks hate hispanics, hispanics hate hispanics (Mexicans, Cubans and Puerto Ricans all hate each other), etc. Native A,ericans are in the same boat and are just as hateful towards all of the other groups. It's intollerance and no one group has the right to call out the other as each group is just as responsible. Everyone loves to play the victim, especially when it advances their agenda. For Fleury his agenda is getting sympathy and finding an excuse for the way he is.
One last thing, if Canada wants to fix the problem give the natives self-government and cut them off the dole. No more government money after 2010. You are treated as every other Canadian citizen and have to pull your own weight. Now what will the Feds spend that extra hundred billion dollars on? I'm sure there is an ad campaign someplace that could use a huge infusion of cash.
