And for Zip, sorry I just couldn't resist.

I don't smoke much or often but I do know this about life.

You haven't had a cheese pizza until you have had a cheese pizza after smoking a few joints.

I've also discovered my cooking is way better on the stuff. This coming from the flat out sober people in the room after I've made dinner. I think it's because it's easier to get invested in the food.

Riiiighhht....

I lived in Alberta for a few years, should I be able to vote in Alberta provincial elections? Calgary and Edmonton municipal ones?

That fat wench Allison Mugabe won't let me! Have you seen her salary, and the house she lives in while children in Alberta starve?

You guys say really stupid things sometimes.

You lived here

let me guess you failed dismally and ran back home to momma's basement .

Did the "hard work" scare you off|?

Well regardless of what you think of the woman she did receive 42 odd percent of the vote out of 4 candidates which is a pretty respectable lead in any election. Do I think that a small percentage on the reserve were some how pressured or conned into voting for her? Yes. Do I think that it's unfair that those living off the reserve weren't given a chance to vote? Yes. Do I think if either of those two factors changed that the result would have been vastly different? Not really.

Besides, aside from comments from outraged forum posters across Canada do you honestly think anyone is going to do anything about it? The Canadian Government maybe? How about the Assemble of First Nations? Or maybe the Grand Chief Derek Nepinak himself will step in? Yeah, that's what I thought . Maybe we should get the UN to make a visit to the ol' Attawapiskat nation to straighten this whole sorted affair out. Oh wait, on second thought that would be a bad idea because they would just blame us for the mess .

All that matters is what the Canadian Government thinks here. Those other yoyo orgs you mentioned have no teeth. The CG says where the bucks go. The reserve cops listen to who the CG calls chief or the new chief hires new cops. The diamond mine pays who the CG calls chief. Theressa can walk down the muddy streets of the reserve and scream about how she's the chief all she wants. If the CG says she not the chief, she's just a chubby little nut screaming in the mud.

Some off reservers are suing. We'll see what happens.

Here's the link.

$1:

Out of Attawapiskat’s registered population of 3,351, about 1,862 people live off-reserve, according to Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada.

Over half not allowed to vote but, I'm guessing when she starts asking for aid they're counted as members of the band.

$1:

Spence, who gained notoriety by undertaking a six-week protest liquid diet near Parliament Hill at the height of the indigenous grassroots Idle No More movement in January, won re-election on Tuesday with 214 votes out of 507 cast.

Strange that there's that low a turnout of on reserve band members. But even then over half of those people didn't vote for her.

$1:

A special committee of Attawapiskat band members drafted a new code in early 2010 to bring the band in line with the Corbiere decision. Community members voted to approve it, but the former chief and band council decided not to ratify it since only 74 of 2,166 eligible voters cast a ballot.

I wonder how many of them were off Reserve and even knew about this it or were even allowed to vote on it?

Oh that old one... Woooooo.

I missed family, came home and realized this is the best place in Canada to raise a family.

Friendly Manitoba, Grumpy Alberta. Wild rose, whatever. Those things hurt, I don't blame you.

Yea, JJ!

There's nothing wrong with raising a family in the rectum of Canada. It's awesome.

Ii've actually heard nothing but good about Winnipeg from the people I know who've spent significant time there. But it doesn't surprise me to see the kind of paternalism from a Torontoian.

I' ll second that. I haven't lived in The Peg for many years but it was then and from what I have seen, still is a fine place.

Yeah, but southern Ontario isn't for everyone, but as long as you're happy and don't mind the smell.
