Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

What They Say About SDA
"Smalldeadanimals doesn't speak for the people of Saskatchewan" - Former Sask Premier Lorne Calvert
"I got so much traffic after your post my web host asked me to buy a larger traffic allowance." - Dr.Ross McKitrick
Holy hell, woman. When you send someone traffic, you send someone TRAFFIC.My hosting provider thought I was being DDoSed. - Sean McCormick
"The New York Times link to me yesterday [...] generated one-fifth of the traffic I normally get from a link from Small Dead Animals." - Kathy Shaidle
"You may be a nasty right winger, but you're not nasty all the time!" - Warren Kinsella
"Go back to collecting your welfare livelihood." - Michael E. Zilkowsky
A big screen TV in every run down house, a chief driving a $70,000 Escalade and a new hockey rink with a shiny Zamboni to play with.
And a village full of garbage because nobody will get off their fat welfare sucking butts and volunteer to clean it up and then keep it clean and orderly.
Self inflicted social problems are the core of Aboriginal despair.
I caught hell over at Rebel with a Clause, because I said as much. Unless you buy into this BS 100%, you are a racist!!! People who get “free” money will never know the value of a dollar. Notice that it has now grown from “Residential Schools” to day schools, where the Natives returned to the reserve, or their homes at night. Of course, the blackmail against John Furlong couldn’t have come about without it. My gym teacher made me run extra laps if he thought I was doggin’ it!
Hang on, didn’t this all start because the Attawapiskat band council and Chief Spence are not using freely given money properly?
Now they want more money so they can protest that people are demanding (how dare they!) that they spend taxpayers money wisely.
When reality is this absurd who needs Monty Python?
So her boy friend is taking donations, is that legal or acceptable? I thought her cause was grass roots what’s the money for?
The photo-op with Justin will not doubt start donations flooding in. The More Idle than Ever crowd was flashing-mobbing a mall in Moncton today (the Maritimes’ Boxing Day) and one of their members expressed her delight that the place was full as it meant that they were all there to support the movement.
I can only hope that there is no climb-down on the Prime Minister’s part. Give in even once to redmail and there is no way back. I hope that folks in government are old enough to remember Bobby Sands. Oh, yes, after he starved himself to death, he appeared in posters on the walls of a number of university students looking for a transgressive icon to decorate their rooms, but very few people today could tell you who he was or what he wanted.
“I thought her cause was grass roots what’s the money for?”
Jelly doughnuts?
Bobby Sands starved to death by his own hand. The PM at the time would not interfere. Would that our PM does the same thing with that Spence broad.
Here in Sarnia Ontario we have been putting up with the closing of a CN Rail line because the Indians are pissed off at the Feds. My suggestion that a freight train be allowed to proceed at full throttle did not meet with popular approval.
o give you an idea of how this woman has literally grown fat on taxpayers funds in 2010 $34 million was pumped into the Attawapiskat reserve of some 1,500 people. $11.2 million, 32% of the reserves grants and 36% of its entire expenses went to the band leaders, like Chief Spend, salaries and benefits while the rest of the band lived in 3rd world squalor.
Trudeau’s dad and Chretien bailed on solving the first nations affairs by failing to follow through on the only solution to this ever expanding problem. Pay a decent sum to each native and thats the end of it. If you want to live on an unsupportable piece of land in the middle of nowhere that is your call and you are on your own.
No treaty ever signed would have given the natives what they demand today. Talk to or read the comments of people who actually worked on these reserves building and endlessly repairing their establishments to really get a grasp on the futility of their task.
More of the blue eyed indians wanting more money. When you treat them like dogs, critters that can not look after them selves, they become that critter. When you take the food away, watch out, they may eat you.
Clayton Kennedy – boyfriend of Chief Spence manages finances on Attawapiskat – now isn’t that a cozy relationship?
Spence has a boyfriend??? Where did he come from, the CNIB?
OK so that’s cruel.
http://indigenousfoundations.arts.ubc.ca/home/government-policy/the-white-paper-1969.html
Chretien’s White Paper,if enacted,would have resolved the Indian issue once and for all, but the Indian politicians howled blue murder as they saw their fat meal ticket about to be cancelled.
Like most Canadian politicians,Trudeau and Chretien caved in to the Indian Industry lobby,and the problem has gotten worse the last forty three years.
Does everyone here,as I do,just love when someone tries to write Indian names or words in English,and ends up with a hodgepodge of meaningless letters and symbols, kw!t’klem!st’az%* k’p.
Chief Spence and the Chiefs are pulling out all the stops as I suppose they know that once the books are opened,their scams are going to possibly see them jailed. We have third world corruption existing right here in good old Canader, and the MSM tries to make heroes out of the perpetrators.
Look who is talking.

Yeah, but this is worthwhile. I don’t think Kate’s boyfriend is holding the bag.
A long time ago,many moons past,the cbc/leftie crowd were mocking Chief Spence.
Back on the 11th of Dec.,the great broadcaster of all nations ran a piece on the Chief and the start of her ‘soup and drug’ diet.
She was savaged by the cbc crowd. They mocked her and her tiny ‘nation’ of idle hands.
Today,she is the new media darling. The only thing that changed was that our media ‘betters’,the stewards of our morals and intellect,turned the page and saw an opportunity to go after the PM.
Go to the top-rated comments at this cbc auticle. 31 of the top 50 comments have been removed. The remaining 19 are not complimentary.The cbc and their lemmings are taking the country over a cliff,they don’t care about right or wrong,they only care about their gov’t money(cbc)and appearing to be caring which allows them to sleep at night even though they know they are a-holes(lemmings).
The cbc is an immoral news source that sucks our dollars down and then spits at us. They and Spence have much in common.
FIRE.THEM.ALL.

Tribes as municipalities? Private property rights on reserves? Open tribal accounts?
Who forces indians to live in these reserves?
ndp parasite,
We have NO choice but to give to the thievin First Nations. We can either support kate, or not. There is a choice. See the differance? No, I didn’t think so.
Why is it a national news story when a fat squaw goes on a crash diet?
Just asking.
Let’s give the 2nd nations(yup,the Chinese where here 1st) and the Queerbecer 25G each,then tell them all to go STFU.Oh.And take phil with them.
QNDPS Could you be any more vacuous? Let me try and walk you through this…O.K.? SDA provides a service, that judging from the traffic, is widely appreciated. While those who provide content here do it free of charge, there are costs associated… ie bandwidth. Patrons of this internet establishment can donate to offset those costs if they so wish.
Contrast that with a hunger strike by a woman who collects substantial government funds both personally and on behalf of her constituents. Also note that there are questions about how those funds have been handled. What costs do you figure are associated with a hunger strike? Groceries?
If you can’t at least be relevant…maybe STFU and save yourself some embarrassment and SDA some bandwidth.
Quebecoitus speaketh! Probably never payeth!!
check out @settlercolonial on twitter if you are up for some laughs and insight
“if you are a white, male, able bodied, hetero sexual complaining about your plight you are surely #onthewrongsideofhistory”
just a small example of the wisdom being spewed forth
I expect that we are only a few months away from civil war here South of the Border. When the festivities start, we will be able to deal appropriately with the Michael Moores and the Sean Penns and the Dwarf of East End Avenue. What hope have you up in the Great White North for dealing with your phils and your QNDPSs?
QNDPissant’s comment isn’t worth response (as usual). Phil, do you have to work hard at being a dork or does it come naturally? Farmers feed you. Reserve Indians feed off of you. There’s a difference. If you really want to be in a serious discussion here, try something other than your same old boilerplate comment.
As far as the topic at hand, let the greedy bitch starve.
Merry Christmas!

Phil, I see free loading farmers all the time on my way to work in Shilo. Their lazy asses are out working their fields, usually before dawn. I envy their idleness as they sit in their tractors plowing in the spring and their combines harvesting in the fall. They really display their sloth as they move around irrigating devices during the summer heat to keep their fields moist. And when I see them spreading stinky fertilizer on those same fields I am disgusted by their free loading and want to yell at the top of my lungs in anger. Its a good thing I buy my vegetables at the supermarket. I’d hate to have to buy them from those layabout farmers. I’d be supporting a system of welfare where I definitely don’t get a return on my investment.
I have never understood the logic behind hunger strikes.

In any case, going by the picture of her with Justine, she’s no more been starving herself since Dec. 11th than Michael Moore has. Good Grief.
Sad to say, I actually think that Mark’s comments above represent a plausible reality. Obama has been promoting a class warfare. I fear for the country.
phil is a little petulant today.
His letter to Santa asked for a functioning brain, but since he was very, very naughty, he only got reindeer turds in his stocking!
Santa Rocks!!
My wife is from a pretty good aboriginal community.
We lived there and raised our kids until we decided that it was better to leave as the opportunities for our kids were significantly better than staying “on the rez.”
Wife is proud of her heritage and we teach the kids to be proud of all the different communities they draw their lineage from.
But, I think it’s unlikely we’ll ever move back.
While a good, solid community, without the kind of graft and corruption of some communities, there is still an overarching sense of entitlement and expectation that the money will flow.
Or as one of my wife’s family members said, who moved out of the rez too, “it breeds mediocrity.”
Sadly, that is true.
So, we moved and, frankly, couldn’t be happier.
Yeah, we could be living in a nice house, paying no property tax and a mortgage totalling $200/month but why raise our kids on the rez when the world is so much bigger and far more interesting?
DaWG
Testing …
How often do you hit the tip jar Phil? Never? You make the same tired point ad nauseum and it’s hardly ever on topic and incorrect. You understand nothing about modern farming, a month in the spring and a month in the fall..?.. If everybody farmed like that you would starve along with a lot of other know nothing idiots. WTF is your problem man?
My apologies to Kate et al for engaging the idiots.
It’s baby logic Mamba…kinda like when jr. spit out the strained peas, or got older and held his breath…
See, I kind of want her to starve herself to death.
Indian affairs is a massive black hole that chews up approx. 10 billion $ a year. About the same as our entire military budget. Of course, a healthy portion of that goes to make work programs to support the thousands of snivel servants throughout the land. Considering the Indians lost their wars a couple hundred years ago , perpetuating this guilt trip has really paid off. They are rewarded handsomely even for our great great grandfathers screwing around with them. They want every amenity the white man has to offer but still want to be seen as noble Indians. What a crock. Thanks to the taxpayer funded white lawyers, the CBC which has never seen a Indian that wasn’t a victim and brain dead judges with their idiotic decisions. Since whites will be a minority in this country in less than 30 years I’m pretty sure the gravy train will derail long before that. Thankfully the CBC will also be on the dust heap long before then and the Indians will have to get a life, get a job and get out of our wallets too. Someone should mention to Indian affairs that this is 2013 , not 1813. Time to grow up.
1) People who I believe hate and oppress me are refusing to give me something I want.
2) I undertake to kill myself.
3) ???
4) Victory!
Ahhh…capiche’..
I’m tired of the blackmail and this hunger strike is blackmail par excellence: “Stop demanding that I be responsible and accountable for how I spend taxpayer money. Stop picking on me or I’ll kill myself.”
‘Problem for this lardass Chief is that most of us could care less. She’s cheated the Canadian taxpayer and, saddest of all, her own people who she pretends to care about. Solution to Chief Lardass’s problem: Open the books.
Uhhh-sorry—-I gave at the office!
What’s your problem with hard working farmers that pay for their RVs?
When we had the farm there was no time or money for RV or boating on the lake that was 5 minutes away.
I see needy people constantly, and I will help them because I can, and because they are in a rut.
When millions of bucks go to one community after another, year after year, and they expect the handouts, and makes no attempt to fix their own problem, that is not a rut, that is a culture of entitlement and they do not have my sympathy.
And we support hard working local business, or bloggers. Our money, our choice.
Send us a picture of you handing 100 bucks to the folks on the reserve, or the hungry family down the road.
Til then stfu.
Phil, farmers work pretty hard.. And from what I’ve seen it seems to take up most of the year. Even now in the dead of winter, I still see them working. To say they only work a couple of mnths a year only highlights your ignorance. A farmer provides food for everyone. Would you prefer they stop their work?
Now with the ntive population, we’ve been shovelling money into their communities for years for no real inprovement or benefit to anyone. The fact that you are standing up or corruption while condemning those who actually work again highlights your low character and contemptfor those who feed you.
u referring to the lift program ?
If Thief (sorry) Chief Spense were serious, she would take her hunger strike to North Korea or Zimbabwe. That way she wouldn’t be tempted to eat AND she could show solidarity with the current/former victims of Chinese and British colonialism.
As for Idle Some More crowd, if the powers that be cave in, I suggest a scorched earth policy be implemented. They can have the land they think they own but nothing serviceable on it, whether it be a building, house or road.
Phil: “End of story”. Really? You promise? Dare we hope.
@ phil
“Truth is, farmers suck up more tax dollars on a per capita basis than natives do.”
A link to those so called facts please
If you ate today, thank a farmer. Any of my tax money that goes to farmers is money well spent. Keeping farms alive and well is important for our future. Every dollar invested in our farms pays back at least double, likely more. Any of my tax money that goes to aboriginal communities is just sucked into a bottomless pit with nothing to show for it.
When the whites are gone ,so will the Indian problem of using tax monies to live for nothing. Its only a matter of time before those who have come recently to this Nation
get sick of the extortion.
you have absolutely no idea how hard these farmers work for a living to feed you. I know that you have never ever spent time on a farm during farming season. You are an example of a know nothing who does nothing but complain.
This is just more lefty MSM BS from the usual anti-Harper suspects.
Is milady’s Escalade on standby for a rush to the Ottawa hospital of
her choice if bones finally start showing up under her skin in 2013?
Why do the Natives feel that the European white man needs to repay them forever for conquering Canada a few hundred years ago? If we owe them forever for becoming dominant in Canada, why don’t the Cherokee and Iroquois (for example) owe countless other Indian tribes that they conquered before the white mans arrival?
For example, why wouldn’t the Iroquois have to pay support for the remaining Erie Indians that they conquered and exterminated?
Me thinks that the Natives believe in the old saw: OK for me but not for thee.
