Well honestly, how do you have a problem concerning the same people on one side of the border and not the other? What about the American Mohawks?

The US probably doesn't entertain this kind of nonsense.

No, because the US government doesn't cave to every special interest group, its the governments way or the highway (which is the way things should be done imho)

Basically what I said...

How's this for a compromise. We train Mohawk border guards. If none volunteer for training, then we put whoever gets placed in that post.

I'd say something like crack down on these people, but the Canadian government has no balls.

its too bad, its stuff like this that really makes us look mickey mouse, if we can't keep our house in order how can we tell others what to do? we need leadership with some intestinal fortitude!

OH but it's about having guns on their land. Like there isn't an arsenal there already.

If this cause is so honorable and important for natives....why hide your faces? If you believe in something that strongly, have the stones to show your face.

I have made this same point many times, they are a joke with their handkerchiefs covering up their faces, intimidating unarmed people who cannot defend themselves.

Careful Pen, they might find out who you are and go rough up your grandparents.

Seems like the joke is that you are powerless to stop them. You guys sure talk big and throw the words "law" and "criminals" and "terrorists" around but you really have no clue about what is going on in your own back yard.

No doubt, they would be able to identify both of my grandfathers, because when they served their nation at war, they did not cover their faces.

Actually Donnie, I do know what's going on in my back yard, the fucking grass is out of control because I was away all last week, and it has been reaining since I got home, not to mention the fact my neighbors let the dandylions run wild so no I have that shit to deal with also.

On the other hand, what would you say if Shep and I and a few others, (though you would not know us because we covered our faces up) showed up on your street, blocked it off, and slapped around you and your neighbors while we brandished assault weapons (illegal) and shotguns?
Would call that terrorizing? you mention somewhere (don't make me look for it, I don't have time) about resolution and negotiations, yet you seem to condone this sort of action. I am all for first nations getting their fair shake, however this is unacceptable no matter how you truy to spin Doctor it dude.

Should single mothers start blocking roads and terrorizing innocent people to get the Governemt to hear their plight also?

No. That form of protest is the exclusive provenance of the Natives and the Tamils. Hmmmmm....conspiracy?

Depends, if you have a cause worth fighting for than I would be right there with you.

I'm sure though that you would need the whole lot of you to slap me around though.

Ok, btw I'm going to buy a new lawnmower today and take care of my yard for you, I kind of like the 3 foot tall grass and wild vegitation growing in my back yard. Reminds me of home. My old mower is toast and I was putting it off as long as I could.

While I appreciate the offer, I am more than capable of looking after it with mine, it is just the weather will not cooperate.

Again you are right. Our society seems to be powerless to deal with these gangsters, and that's what they are.

The problem is that the Mohawks have a crap claim but they are dragging down other Bands/Nations and their legitimate claims right down with them in the public eye.

Gloating about it also shows your true side though Donny.

It won't always be this way and the more people like you gloat and the more the Mohawks break our laws the closer a day of reckoning with the Canadian public will come.
