  1. As a farm boy in my youth I remember good farmers and bad farmers.
    I certainly appreciate their place in the economic wheel of this country.
    I do somewhat tire of the bumper sticker jargon of “Farmers feed cities”.
    Yes cities are the farmer’s main markets, but that doesn’t elevate them above the welder, oil rig hand, small businessman and on and on.
    I know one thing for sure, phil has never stacked bales in a haymow during harvest. The word lazy can’t be within 100 miles of that job.

  3. I doubt Chief Spence intends to starve herself to death. This is a woman who drives a Cadillac Escalade around the streets of a reserve that has no road links to the rest of the world. A person who holds such exalted status in her little world and who lives in the degree of comfort that she does, is unlikely to give it all up for a meeting with Stephen Harper.
    Once again, though, we see the power of social media to rally shallow thinkers (hello Justin Trudeau) to a cause that on the surface may seem noble but is really without much merit. The Government of Canada pours billions into First Nations communities every year and has been doing so for decades. Yet nothing changes. Why? That’s what taxpayers want to know. From what little we do know, one huge problem is the lack of accountability on the part of high-living chiefs such as Spence. Money spend on Cadillacs and big houses is money unavailable for housing and schools.

  4. So what’s your point? Voluntary payment for something perceived as a good, vs. involuntary payment for corruption. Of course for you, being from PQ, corruption is a good I suppose.

  5. And farmers don’t even feed themselves, being dependent on the same system of processing and distribution as everyone else.
    Where have you been? Many, many farmers grow their own food. Meat, dairy, make their own flour. Grow their own vegetables. Some even grow their own fuel.
    The knowledge is there, even if it’s not used. So, they’re not ‘dependent’.

  7. Another racket that the Indian Industry pushes is signing people up who can find an Indian
    in their family history, you can get an Aboriginal Entitlement Card even if your great great grandma was half Indian. I know people who done it and they had no idea they had an Indian in the woodpile until some enterprising relative dug it out.
