Well, I'm sure the problem is more complicated than what I'm about to say, but just off the top of my head, how about paying for what you get? The rest of Canada pays taxes. We have to buy our land. We don't get reserve royalties. We have to buy hunting and fishing licenses. Can someone fill me in on just exactly what the rest of us are getting that they're not?
