It is clear that the Trudeau Liberals are incapable of thinking outside the box of 19th Century Colonial Canada and that his promise of a renewed "nation to nation" relationship with Indigenous peoples is based on a colonial model where Indigenous peoples are still seen as Crown wards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917573032949953963.post-26800516789977734392016-03-23T18:28:00.403-07:002016-03-23T18:28:00.403-07:00Excellent article.

It's what saved the settlers' asses in the beginning and settlers are fools to not be letting Aboriginal leaders like Palmater set the agenda that will save civilization. Forty millionaires in New York are saying the elite should be taxed progressively and he said they are willing to pay 50% taxes because it's immoral how much money is being hidden. This money, along with a revenue neutral price on pollution, would create the resources to fix the Aboriginal nations' situations and reduce carbon while protecting the lowest 60% of households.<br /><br />First Nations are setting the agenda anyway in the Supreme Court! Nations and groups need to charge Harper for willful blockading of action on global warming. We should be suing our government for inaction now because we need fossil fuels to be priced high (with rebates to compensate so people will cut back on using f.f.)<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917573032949953963.post-41806247177471304292016-03-23T16:50:49.126-07:002016-03-23T16:50:49.126-07:00I thought that it was a very generous budget espec...I thought that it was a very generous budget especially for first nations people. The chief of first nations said so himself. At least he said he was happy. Maybe they didn't go far enough but it is at least a good start in the right direction.

A way to keep everyone dazzled or stupefied and distracted from the only change that is needed, which is to dismantle the colonialist nation state. Of course, neither the Liberal government or any colonialist government has the intention of ever dismantling colonialism.ruth Lappnoreply@blogger.com
