Sorry by the way, forgot to say good thread M2CW.
I got caught up in the rant and failed to mention thanks for posting.

This topic kinda makes my blood boil.
Guess you could tell by the rant.

There is total agreement so far in this thread, but my research leads to a completely oppposite conclusion:

Thread: 40-DAY FAST: Can Canada Survive?

Thread: LYING SMEAR ATTACK by Canadian Government on Attawapiskat

:Chief Spence:

Sigh.

And so, anyone who is at all interested in facts, rather than slander, is free to go to the above Threads and read my Original Postings as the OP on both, including my own comments, which have substantial documentation.

It is an evening's work, and it took me hours personally to find all this information, from scratch.

By the way, you do know that the Canadian government is not trustworthy? Or is that news to you, too?

- And - just because you are all so sure that the First Nations peoples in Canada should just go home and shut up, perhaps you would like to read a new article... describing a study which shows that the TAR SANDS PROJECT IN ALBERTA IS DESTROYING PRECIOUS GROUNDWATER, which all these people depend on... Natives as well as non-Natives.

Read and weep, Alberta.

Link to the bands financials.

They seem pretty straight forward to me.
Seems our illustrious leader is looking to put a certain slant on things and has some splaining to do.

[link to www.attawapiskat.org]

Cost of the programs provided to them included in the 85m.

[link to www.attawapiskat.org]

Band salaries.
They are making good money, not outrageous though.

[link to www.attawapiskat.org]

Very interesting. Numbers don't lie.

These financials put a different spin on what is being presented to us from the hill.

The natives are getting restless.
Today's announcement of metis and non status natives receiving full rights is going to increase their power as their voting numbers just swelled to new heights.

It's going to get interesting.

Hearsay is not evidence, OP.

You also quoted from Sun News, which is a thinly veiled Conservative Party "news source" -- saying that Chief Spence is staying at a hotel during her hunger strike.

Did you read that, or did you just missread it, or did you make that one up?

First Nations peoples are very sophisticated, these days, with lawsuits, in case you are interested.

Over 104 million in 5 years. There are hundreds and hundred of reserves in Canada. Do the math.

1. The government was listed as a co-auditor with the band. If they thought there were discrepencies, they should have spoken up while it was going on. They signed off on this audit as well, so they must have aprived it.

2 . The Idle No More movement is operating outside the elected chief system. They know the federally set up system is corrupt as well. This is still a worthy movement to raise awareness about this ecocidal bill c45. Harper has sold ud out on so many levèls, and this bill allows our waters open to be raped. The bill also tries to change treaties with natives.

3. The natives are first nations. They are nations that have to be consulted when anything is developed on their land. Just think how much oil companies have made on the tar sands. The natives should have seen equal income. The money that the feds throw at natives does indeed make them lazy, but they are not getting even a small percentage of what is rightly theirs.

280,000. To build a house in the far north is actually very cheap. I live in Nunavut Canada where a 2 bedroom hole in the wall apartment goes for 350,000.
In the north there are no roads so everything has to be flown in, or brought up by ship once year when the ice breaks up. Both are very expensive. Also due to permafrost all buildings must be propped up on metal stacks, which makes heating said home also very expensive. To run electricity in a home in the north costs eleven times more on average than the rest of Canada. Jesus a liter of milk goes for up to $13.00 depending on how far north you are. So as someone who has lived in all 3 regions of Nunavut for the last ten years, the money invested in the community is hardly enough. Now does that mean it was put to good use I don't know. All I do know is that 280,000 for a home is extremely cheap.

Umm...I posted the facts, numbers.

I takes no sides on this issue until I search out facts for myself. Post facts that show something other than what the financials show please. I'm open to all evidence.

The numbers are painting an interesting look into how out gov is at managing money. They don't support the claim that the band itself received the monies claimed.

Unless they can prove fraud was committed, this is just more political dirty pool.

I say Harper and Trudeau duke it out in the boxing ring for the title.

Whoever gains the crown gets to fix the horrid mess the system has become.

Tell me again why she is demanding more!!!!!

The Aboriginal leaders are the Aboriginal people's worst enemy... that is something they need to clean up before they ask for more... If funds were properly devided, as the funds should be... there would be no problem with housing or schools or reserve roads.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen a reporter actually report the truth about an aboriginal issue. Too bad there aren’t more REAL REPORTERS.

Here's a part of what Sun News reported yesterday.

SNIP-
Spence is a master media manipulator; she knew better than to do her dieting stunt up in Attawapiskat, where it hit -33 C this week, and was accessible only by airplane. She flew to Ottawa and pitched a teepee for the benefit of the bored Parliamentary Press Gallery. She also stayed in a hotel, but that was never shown on camera — it contradicted the narrative of a chief willing to make every sacrifice for her people.-SNIP

SNIP-
Do the math: The Attawapiskat band received $34 million in 2011. And the local diamond mine spent $51 million in town. That’s $85 million, for 300 families. That’s $280,000 per family. Tax free. So how come so many in Attawapiskat live in leaky, cold shacks? Not the chief of course; she has a sturdy, well-heated house and drives an Escalade. Her boyfriend is the band manager — his contract is for $850 a day, plus expenses. Why does the band have $8.9 million in the stock market, in shares like Google and Pepsi and Exxon, but not enough money to fix some leaks? Why are there 21 politicians on the payroll of a tiny town? Why did Spence once bill the town $8,000 a month to manage the daycare?

Those are questions reporters might ask white politicians. But lucky for Spence, she’s Indian, so they don’t.

If they do get a money manager I hope they do not end up with somebody like Abramoff...

[link to www.democracynow.org]

Yesterday Abramoff admitted to defrauding four Indian tribe clients out of millions of dollars. Those tribes include the Louisiana Coushatta, the Mississippi Choctaws, the Saginaw Chippewas of Michigan and the Tigua of Ysleta del Sur Pueblo in Texas. The tribes hired Abramoff to represent them in Washington regarding casino and gambling issues

(Snip)

In all, Abramoff and Scanlon received more than $66 million in fees. Some of this money was secretly diverted to a variety of Abramoff’s personal projects including an Orthodox Jewish academy and an Israeli sniper school. Some money also went to pay off a personal debt.

Here's a part of what Sun News reported yesterday.

SNIP-
Spence is a master media manipulator; she knew better than to do her dieting stunt up in Attawapiskat, where it hit -33 C this week, and was accessible only by airplane. She flew to Ottawa and pitched a teepee for the benefit of the bored Parliamentary Press Gallery. She also stayed in a hotel, but that was never shown on camera — it contradicted the narrative of a chief willing to make every sacrifice for her people.-SNIP

SNIP-
Do the math: The Attawapiskat band received $34 million in 2011. And the local diamond mine spent $51 million in town. That’s $85 million, for 300 families. That’s $280,000 per family. Tax free. So how come so many in Attawapiskat live in leaky, cold shacks? Not the chief of course; she has a sturdy, well-heated house and drives an Escalade. Her boyfriend is the band manager — his contract is for $850 a day, plus expenses. Why does the band have $8.9 million in the stock market, in shares like Google and Pepsi and Exxon, but not enough money to fix some leaks? Why are there 21 politicians on the payroll of a tiny town? Why did Spence once bill the town $8,000 a month to manage the daycare?

Those are questions reporters might ask white politicians. But lucky for Spence, she’s Indian, so they don’t.

Trouble is that as a Canadian if I try to tell others those facts I called a biggot. How's that for mass brainwashing?

Sadly in the "idle No More" campaign the cause is just and every Canadian should be standing up against Harper selling out Canda from beneath us.

Thanks to Chief Spence the focus has become the Natives and their poverty. Canadians have been made to feel so guilty that you can.'t even talk to most of them.

As a Quebecois, I do not trust at all the "Idle No More" campaign since the Oka Crisis which happened in 1990 reminded us here how much the criminal elements among the Mohawk Communities knew how to use violence in Oka (Qc) during the 1990 crisis to shoot down one of our provincial police officers and make it look to the national medias how we in Quebec "behave like "barbarians" if we didn't cave in to their territorial demands.

The same old "recipe" comes back again, folks ... they're going to make you feel guilty again if you don't cave in to the demands of "Chief Spence" while she certainly won't tell you where are the millions of $$$ that were spent by her band council during the last years which were provided to them by the federal government.

I am not a Stephen Harper fan nor a Conservative fan. However, on this topic, I clearly side with Stephen Harper in order to make it clear that from NOW ON, not a dime will be provided to any Band Council if those Band Councils don't provide a written proof (a report) of all the transactions made by the Band Councils following the receipt (by them) of any investment made by the federal government on their territories.

No transactions' report, no candy.

Also, Ezra Levant is a total shill for the tar sands companies.

Ezra Levant is a douchebag. I don't know enough about the first nations to comment on anything else, but this much I can tell you.

Plenty of arms in Canada.

So everyone is shocked about native fraud? As all political leaders, native cheifs included....they lie, cheat and love everyone elses money.

This country is fucked with the metis full status. We can't afford the burden on the taxpayer anymore.

The libtard leftist bleeding heart socialist morans are nuts in this country and the same issue is attacking our southern neighbours.


If you left leaning ifiots think I support Harper your wrong. They run to the leftard scale. Proggrsive is left .

I diislike all socialist scum.
