Very interested in reading it.<br /><br />I am in law school right now at UVic, and as I look ahead I see a ton of s.7 & s.15 arguments that have yet to be litigated in the context of on-reserve disparities in services (safe drinking water, health, education, list goes on). Would love to hear your opinion on this and the potential road blocks. Right now I can only think of the (a) the feds having to declare the Indian Act either remedial/ameliorative or that the Indian Act is discriminatory to FN on reserve, (b) citing Whitler that comparator groups do not have to mirror... Either way I think the courts or the feds would be forced to make some profound statements in either direction to justify the disparities between FN and the rest of Canada.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917573032949953963.post-37188325482648682342011-08-03T07:18:50.615-07:002011-08-03T07:18:50.615-07:00Its hard to fight for what we believe in when our ...Its hard to fight for what we believe in when our own leaders are stealing for us.I'm from Burnt Church and our community is lost, our chief is native but his whiter then Englishman inside.<br />Every time someone tries to make a difference in the community they are held back by are own chief and council members,I just hope people like you can make a difference for all of us.Deadalreadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930313071561960501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917573032949953963.post-50134030794195546352011-07-29T15:01:21.805-07:002011-07-29T15:01:21.805-07:00..."We will make the change we want - I am ce......"We will make the change we want - I am certain of it!"...<br /><br />Indeed in fact that's the only way real & meaningful change can happen.That said the roadblocks and resistance put up by the settler governments & settlers themselves can be very daunting and insanely frustrating as you know all to well.<br />Take careDirk Buchholzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07570132508341336729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917573032949953963.post-64311820928940096052011-07-29T11:17:38.780-07:002011-07-29T11:17:38.780-07:00Here is a quote from Captain America, just before ...Here is a quote from Captain America, just before he was assassinated, that I found inspiring:<br /><br />"Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. <br /><br />This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. <br /><br />When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world, 'no, you move.'"<br /><br />I think we have the truth behind us and regardless of what voters "decide" or what the comments in newspaper articles spew against us; we must also plant ourselves as the quote says. <br /><br />We will not be forced off our lands or out of our rights or into oblivion, but we will choose death before denial of who we are.<br /><br />KenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917573032949953963.post-71392327502562948482011-07-28T08:01:18.547-07:002011-07-28T08:01:18.547-07:00Thank for your support Ken.
