Anyone else listen to the interview on CBC radio this morning with the guy that used to live on the Tsuu Tina reservation? He predicted that the vote will very close. Basically, 50/50. The interesting thing he said, that I hadn't thought of before, was that there is a new generation of residents able to vote this time around, and that this generation hasn't yet acquired the high level of distrust that older generations have. He was also concerned that many of that younger generation lack the ability to look to the future....they wan't the immediate gratification.
The basic point was that the vote is going to be very close which is why the government has been so tight lipped. Angering 3 or 4 residents may be enough to tilt the vote one way or another.
