Why dont the first nations put a stop to imigration. Why do the first nations allow us to spend their money fighting a war in Afganistan? Why do they allow us to have provinces and territories?<br />Why do they allow us to have french and english as official languages? WHY WHY WHY?<br /><br />Lets pull the plug on this endless waste and allow the first nations to pay taxes. Lets allow them to make their way as we do.

I'd like to hear those, and not in the context of their response to being victimized by the white folks.

It saddens me greatly when Canadians are so easily convinced to give up our history. When you stop and think for a few moments, history is all we really have because you never know what tomorrow will bring. Today, could very well be our last day. What's next ? What part of our parents and their parents history will be re-written, re-named, or forgotten about all together ? I believe that we have to be very thoughtful and careful before we turn away from the history that was once our present.Jeff Taylornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242439673360261416.post-41716531168171189052009-12-12T12:41:18.639-08:002009-12-12T12:41:18.639-08:00This is just the beginning.
