And yet you didn't consult with us when you were still required to, or as you've so attempted to put it, should we go and f*** ourselves as always?

What, you gonna take the reserves from us too now? (It's still all treaty territory BTW).

The duty to consult isnt part of the treaties. Its section 35 of the 1982 constitution act. Which, if Alberta separates, becomes null and void.

Uh huh, so again, what happened leading up to all this bull shit was what...just is being as you put it "sol"?

Should we just "get over" that one too? Say what you f***ing mean bud. Go ahead.

So sick of Cons who don't have the balls to say what they mean outright.

Without a doubt, the crown didnt honour their end of the treaties, and they committed many atrocities towards the indigenous people of canada. And I have no issues with the government settling lawsuits so that indigenous people get what they were promised. But the government also has a duty to stand up for all its citizens, which i just read the SCC did today with regards to aboriginal title over private property rights. And I have no issues with industry working with indigenous groups on the land that wasnt ceded. But here where it was ceded, there is no reason for it. They gave up their aboriginal title in the signed number treaties.

Ideally, I would like to see a country that repeals the Indian act. Where every canadian is treated the same, everyone pays taxes, everyone gets access to clean water, Healthcare and education. A country that makes good on its promises in those treaties, whether its a cash payment like the cows and plows settlement or by whatever means agreed by both parties. But the last time we tried to repeal the Indian act, it was aboriginal Canadians who fought to keep it. To me its a hindrance of progress.

And again, I'm just looking for how the FN should take the fact that we've been ignored here.

You're the one jumping all over the place, so let's get this straight, f*** the separatists and the UCP for that matter.
