Her doctor is probably happy about the reduction in her blood pressure. There's a chance it may have been too high to begin with.

I wonder what the people protesting think the end result will be?

More money? Is that what they really want? Will that solve the problem? At the end of the day two things need to happen. The corruption needs to stop, and the reserve system needs to be abolished.

Sadly, neither seems to be a point of this whole 'protest.'

I think, and it has been lost with the vast majority of idiots who have joined in the protest, the bolded was one of the initial points of the protest. Initially the 'Idle No More' was started by FN members who were not happy with the status quo and worried the Omnibus bill would allow for corrupt leadership to sell land out from under them.

I could be mistaken but I think that was the intent.

I haven't been following from the start, so you could be correct, but it is obvious that the intended focus on leadership corruption has been lost in the stupidity of all the idiots who are protesting over something they don't even understand anymore.

March into downtown at the start of rush hour?

That will win you some public sympathy.

If the cops aren't going to stop them they might as well do something useful and start handing out tickets for blocking traffic, and if they don't pay they can't register their vehicles.

If they want to completely loose any sympathy then go ahead and do this march and completely block people out during rush hour. It would be interested to see how many occupiers join this stupidity.

But honestly, we are not the enemy, the chiefs are and the Indian Affairs department is.

Saw Brent Talbot and Jan Bacon are both on the list of attendees.

Apparently they've been having "round-dance" lessons at their General Assemblies.

I dont know. Honestly, those round dances look like alot of fun.
Even though I don't support the Idle No More movement, I feel compelled to join.

I do get motion sickness but the round dances move at a slow enough pace where I don't think it would be an issue.

Harper leaves no doubt: Governor-General will not be included in any future First Nations policy discussions
http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/01...y-discussions/
Quote:
The Harper government said Monday it will not include Governor-General David Johnston in any future policy discussions with First Nations, further clouding its battle of wills with aboriginal leaders. A spokesperson for the Prime Minister said Monday Stephen Harper will meet with Assembly of First Nations’ National Chief Shawn Atleo “in the coming weeks,” and has no plans to abide aboriginal leaders’ demands for a summit Thursday.
“[First Nations people] are very insistent on having the Governor-General there, but the Governor-General says this is a policy matter with the government and that [he] shouldn’t be there,” Andrew MacDougall said. “We agree with that.”
Time for Spence to make a decision, she should have quit while she was ahead.

LOL

Yes how unreasonable it is for posters to ask for proof of your false and insulting accusations. Proof that you say is abundantly clear in this thread yet still seemingly impossible to find.

But your right it is the other posters being unreasonable not you and your false accusations and woe is me attitude.
