I guess I just think that an honest discussion of the reserves/treaties would be a good idea in general. I'm not sure how Spence is the FN representative in those kinds of talks, other than the hunger strike, but Canada needs to have these discussions IMO. It wouldn't surprise me if the outcome of those talks was unacceptable to many FN people, but I think we should have the talks regardless of that possibility.

Except that she's not the person that the government talks to about treaty rights, the feds had the meetings earlier this year (iirc) with the band chiefs. I don't think that Spence showed for it.
She's like the mayor of one town demanding a meeting so that she can discuss something on a national level.
Plus with her hystronics and other actions in front of the press, chances are all she'd do is probably yell at the Prime Minister or punch him or something.
The Government was right when they said the right level of person was the native affairs minister, the health minister went our of her way to set up a meeting Inuit to native and was refused, yet she took two hours out of her hunger strike to sit down with a Liberal with no portfolio in Trudeau.
Harper refuses to get drawn into a stunt by Spence where she's trying to make people forget her mismanagement of funds and her incompetent leadership of her community, why would he get involved with that.
She's doesn't have treaty negotiation rights so why bother.
Like I said instead of protesting the removal of the Department of Transportation not having freshwater usage permission rights (maybe someone can say it better then me) The natives should be protesting outside of her tent about stuffing her relatives pockets to rebuild a school on contaminated land and buying a Zamboni and taking her relatives on private jet trips to Toronto to shop instead of putting her people in heated housing.
I'm sick of this woman, she's no better then the corrupt mayors in Quebec.
I don't blame our Prime Minister for wanting nothing to do with her.
