actually there is more genetic diversity between two troops of chimpanzees living 20 miles apart than there is between all of humanity.
That's because we're new. 100,000 years is not a long time. We haven't been around long enough to diverge into different races, nobody was breeding us to create some, and we created globalization before we could, and we were very good at trade before that.
Anyways....

Like I said before... Steve is my Prime Minister, elected to represent me. I've never been to Attawapiskat, and I doubt you have either. I don't have much to say at all about Alison Redford either for example. I don't think I've said anything as vile toward Steve as you've said about her either. I possibly made fun of his Lego Man hair-do at some point, I'll give you that. Sometimes we see people bitching about people elected outside of their province but it's rare, and its rare that it ever went into an attack unless it was about Dalton McGuinty.
I don't think anything good or bad about Theresa Spence, but I see no positive outcome of making her the scapegoat for everything that doesn't work in the Indian Act.
The difference to me is that you and your pals go on these long rants about her, when apparently she has improved the situation there. You folks blame her for everything that happened prior to her becoming chief. It makes exactly the same sense as blaming Steve for Adscam. But that's not all, count the number of posts that make fun of her weight.
I guess the final straw was the "white race" thing from you. It blows me away that people actually think that way in this day and age.
Biggest problem is that she is a public official paid by the Canadian Taxpayers and whether you've been to Attwipiskat or not is irrelevant. I never voted for nor have I likely been in most of the Constituencies of the MP's in Parliament but, when my tax dollars pays their salary I should have the right to speak out if they act or abuse their power, which is what you seem to do every time the Current PM does anything you don't agree with.
That isn't what we're talking about, its more like you speaking out about Rob Ford, and how the white race is responsible for paying for his drug habits. Do you do that? I don't know. Those MPs have some say in your Canada though, they vote on every bill that is debated in the HoC and that has an effect on you. I don't fault you for holding them to account.
I understand that you are upset about Theresa Spence being re-elected, but who was your favourite to win? Who was the champion that was going to save Attawapiskat from mis-management? How could this gross perversion of democracy have been prevented?

As for blaming her for all the problems with the Indian Act. Show me once where I ever said that? I blame her for the deplorable conditions on the reserve she runs and her claims that she's representing the rest of the Natives in Canada while she's blatantly attempting to blackmail the Government, nothing else.
So had you read my posts you'd have figured out that it's not the rank and file natives I have an issue with, it's the self entitled, corrupt, demigods who run some of the reserves with the expectation of being paid like Donald Trump, treated like Elizabeth the First and catered to continually by the taxpayers of Canada.
Like I said there are a lot of good ones out there like Clarence Louie whom natives should be looking at for examples of how a leader, presents him or herself, works and acts.
Instead you and you ilk continue to champion the one leader that seems to embody all that's wrong with the Indian Act and the way that some natives are being led.
And since you're so quick to judge let me remind you that if you're pretty little eyes can only handle the everything neutral term Homo Sapiens, then you'd better put me on ignore because I come from a generation that didn't couch their thoughts in politically correct terms just so people like you could feel good about themselves.
BTW I'm waiting for you to convince the Federal Government and the Natives to change their title from First Nations to First Homo Sapiens so as not to offend your sensibilities.
Why is she responsible for the deplorable conditions? She's been chief since August 27, 2010. I never "championed the one leader" at all, I just haven't seen any evidence whatsoever that she doesn't mean well and want to improve her community like most every Canadian.
