"and still do not recieve fairness in the legal syatem or in most areas of endeavour"

Shitting bull. The courts of Canada are not corrupt any more for the Red Man as for the White Man. In most areas of endeavour, the Red Man has far more advantages the the White Man... free education, priority for government jobs, grants of money for starting businesses, licenses, quotas and free equipment for fishing, lumbering... and so on. They are NOT at a disadvantage. They have the long end of the stick and, in MANY cases, are using that stick to beat up the poor Whites who fish, lumber, hunt... under the laws and abide by those laws.

I can take you up country and show you Whites livin in squalor and take you up country and show you Reds livin well paid for by the Whites. It should NOT be about Red and White but tell that to the Whites who are livin in squalor and still have to pay sales tax on everything they can barely afford to buy, especially when they can't compete with the Red Man because he is subsidised by the White Man's tax dollars.

Come on eh? I think some a youse really don't know what goes on in the back country. It ain't pretty for the Reds or the Whites, but to say the Red Man is being downtrodden??? ahhh, not around here.

Before I get called racist or whatever, I got friends on both sides and I know assholes on both sides. The real assholes are the politicians and big business who play the assholes up country to their advantage. I could tell ya stories.

As for the environment, money talks and bullshit walks... red, white or purple polka dot.
