Oops, Sorry Regina. I accidentally double-posted this one.

I was sure I'd checked. Oh well...

Clayton's a bigger dick than I am. He's a crook on purpose.

Don't feel bad I was posting it to until the machine caught it.

I guess for all of us who say this coming it's vindication for saying screw the polticially correct crap, they're a bunch of thieves running Attiwapiskat.

Harper is certainly responsible for shovelling out all that money without sufficient oversight. He has the balls to take on Sheila Fraser when she says something he doesn't like, but where are his balls in standing up to the Natives?

Ever seen a politician from any party stand up to the natives in any significant way?

I'll just interrupt the predictable self-congratulating to point out to the usual suspects here that it wasn't the Great White Knights that rode in and arrested him.

It was not Whitey but the Band Council who became concerned, terminated his employment and called the Band Police Service, who investigated and ultimately arrested him.

Meanwhile, Whitey over at Harper's Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs had agreed for Kennedy become co-manager on another reserve. Hope that's not too much piss in your kool-aid.

Would you mind too much if I interrupted you pissing in my kool-aid.

It's been known from day one that the band leaders are as corrupt as a fortnight old dead whale.

Nice try. That's the most partisan piece of crap I've ever had the misfortune of reading. Not only do you attempt to deflect the blame from where it really belongs, you have the gall to start using racist native terms to describe white people which, besides defeating your argument only serves to shows how hypocritical your stance on this issue is.

My guess is that if Mr. Kennedy hadn't broken up with the Chief they'd still be living the large life, while the rest of the band suffered in Chief and Council enforced, perpetual silence.

As for Mr. Kennedy working for another band in Alberta, if we ever get to see his letter of reference it's going to come from the Attiwapiskat Chief and Band Council informing his prospective employer about what an outstanding accountant and financial wizard he is.

Actually Regina said "whitey" first and I paraphrased. I don't thing that's the word FN people use...isn't it 'paleface' or something? I think only Whitey uses the word Whitey.

And where am I defelcting blame? It seems the blame lies with Kennedy. I just take exception to the theme of this thread, which is that "we" finally busted "them". Really it looks like "them" busted "him".

A co-manager has to be mutually agreed by the band and Dept of Aboriginal Affairs. It's just interesting that after all the accusations, allegations and getting fired in Attawapiskat, aboriginal affairs would agree he co-manage another reserve. Would you be shocked to learn that aboriginal affairs sucks at its job?

Nah it's whitey, or at least that's it out on the coast

As for Indian Affairs, they're worse than alot of the Native Leaders, they pass out money like water, don't follow up on what's going on, and they help to keep the rest of the Natives in poverty so they can keep their for lifetime jobs. So yes I understand how Indian Affairs doesn't work.

BTW the co-manager is rubber stamped by the Dept. and I seriously doubt anyone at that den of iniquity even noticed he was boinking the Lady who kept claiming she wasn't getting enough money from the Gov't for her people when the real reason for the problems was a lack of leadership and blatent financial mismanagement.

They apparently didn't notice he was living large at a Hotel in Ottawa when she went on her Jenny Craig diet to get even more money from them or if they did they chose to ignore all the warning signals that there was something wrong on the reserve.

Because of the financial improprieties at the reserve that were pointed out long before this, It's pretty apparent that Kennedy was thrown to the wolves when he broke up with the Chief and it wouldn't surprise me that someone on the Council was waiting for this opportunity to take him and Spence down. This just might be the beginning of a spurned lover taking shots at her ex, much like that Movie War of the Roses.

They're both going to end up talking and when that happens it'll probably take both of them down but, only Kennedy will get punished.

You spent countless posts looking to deflect blame from Spence and Kennedy and this topic is no different. You're looking to place some of the blame on AA which I addressed below.

People are just happy the guy got nailed for what we expected he was doing all along. This "we" and "them" you speak of doesn't exist....we're just happy he got nailed.

FWIW, Natives are Canadian so it doesn't matter who caught the guy...it's just good that he got caught.

The co-manager is selected by the band and rubber stamped by the government. Why would they have any reason to deny him a position without any basis? Surely they have basis now, but before then, they had nothing.

Corruption is bad no matter where it happens. It's unfortunate that native reserves, which can generally afford it less than other places, seem to be more afflicted with it. The native ideal of communal existence doesn't seem to cover these bastards who will climb over the miseries of their people as long as they can feather their own nests.
