      I hope other first nations and communities send her more letters like this. If you want to be american so badly just move there and leave the rest of us out of it.

        That’s something I can’t understand. Most of my family back in Alberta would vote to join US and have been saying it for years. Why don’t they just move there? It’s not hard

        I think it’s all a boo hoo victim mentality to avoid personal accountability. Those people’s lives suck because they are dumb, not because of Ottawa, lol

          It’s way easier to live in Canada and get mad about anything you perceive as better in the US while reaping all the benefits of being Canadian. Blue state Republicans do the same.

          1000% correct, they would rather whine about Ottawa fucking them in some way then actually doing work to change their material outcomes. It comes from intellectual laziness if you ask me.

      You may want to contact the First Nations band office closest to you (or another band office of your choosing) and speak to them about it.

    Smith speaks for a minority only and the press loves it and feeds it. The silent majority are 100% Canada.

      We have a huge amount to learn from the First Nations and the French about sovereignty. It will also be quite interesting to see how the 51st state bullshit goes over with them.

      There is. The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled multiple times on Indigenous land rights and, for the most part, have ruled in favour of the treaties with First Nations communities and people.

      Smith doesn’t have a leg to stand on here.
