Crazy Bitches R Us: Too funny – Who really had a hidden agenda on Coalition – Stephen Harper.

I often find myself at odds with folks like PacificGatePost who recently posted online at an APTN forum. Pacific argues that all chiefs and councils are corrupt, and thinks Canada and Canadians are responsible for fixing governance issues in First Nations communities. I’d argue that relatively few communities have governance

Sorry folks I’ve known about this for a while – but it seems I never posted the info. (Only thought I did. Signs of aging.) A while ago the government asked the courts for another extension. The new date they have to meet to pass the amendments on Indian Status

A friend of mine who works at a First Nations organization gets an email asking for an application for a status card. She is typing a reply explaining why she cannot help out, when she notes the email address is from ainc-inac.gc.ca.

In response to A toronto Star article criticizing chief’s salaries – as if that were the only accountability issue in Indian Country I wrote: "Yet no one shames the Minister of Indian Affairs or his army of bureaucrats – lawyers, policy analysts, spin doctors – many of whom earn more than the average chief — and who are also on the tax payers dime."

Just watching some of the rally to restore sanity videos being posted by regular folks on Youtube. Signs of sanity: looks at some of the signs protestors are using. My faves: "Spread peanut butter not hate – unless you’re allergic." And "Not a fan of Airplane middle seats."A few folks have vlogs – but as Jon Stewart and his team have pointed out, moderates make terrible television – not much
