Liz, this has not been and is not just about Indians. This is about all people in this country. A year ago the Canadian Red Cross had to help people at Attawapiskat because fucking Ottawa (and Ontario) abrogated their treaty responsibilities. Go read about Grassy Narrows. This is not some new thing. When the people up near Dryden, Ontario, were getting hammered with mercury poisoning even their Indian brothers and sisters didn't help, so please stop implying the only people with honour are necessarily First Nations people. You have no damned idea how much corruption there is with band councils around this country. They are no better than Ottawa or any other government. Get your head wrapped around that because this type of shit is really turning people from getting involved. And as a btw, Chief Spence's hunger strike has to do with drawing attention to the plight of her people, and that also includes bad shit that's in Bill C-45. Don't romanticize it or glorify all Indians because one gal has taken a stand on this. And please don't make my ancestors look like shit just because they were White.

ALL Canadians should be protesting C-45. Please don't make the Bill just an Indian issue. It isn't.
