Inertia and piecemeal solutions are the order of the day, unfortunately. Something major needs to be done. Getting rid of the Indian Act would be a good start.
If legislation was passed sun setting the Indian Act and forcing a major overhaul of the Department of Aboriginal Affairs, we might start to get results that would benefit all Canadians.
I dunno. The boy's got insight sometimes into what the Harpercon mind is thinking. And who knows; if the gov. doesn't just use this as a means of screwing over the First Nations for their opposition to Northern Gateway and other acts of defiance, it might get cross party support. We know Harper is looking for a legacy...
Divide and conquer -- harper's own calling card. Don't know if i believe trost really knows something, but it would be pretty ugly if they attempt to put their ultra-whitey stamp on this. In many ways we can be thankful Harper's a coward...
