  1. Kate, that`s hilarious. Yet so true. I wonder if she got homemade soup, or “take out.” She probably obtained a grant to have the food delivered via helicopter to her place of suffering.

  2. Stephen Harper said:
    “It is in this spirit of ongoing dialogue that, together with Minister Duncan, I will be participating in a working meeting with a delegation of First Nations leaders coordinated by the Assembly of First Nations on January 11, 2013. This working meeting will focus on two areas flowing from the Gathering: the treaty relationship and aboriginal rights, and economic development.”
    Sigh. When will Harper grow a backbone?

  3. Harper is dealing with an untenable situation that the opposition is trying to crucify him with. His response is appropriate to the situation. Defuse the immediate situation, then stand firm in negotiations.

  4. So,Daniel, what would YOU have Harper do in this case?
    No PM can act the heavy-handed dictator, and to do what many of us would like to see,the enacting of the 1969 White Paper on Indians and the end of the Reservations. In today’s political climate that would mean a massive defeat next election.
    The Indian problem has been around a long time,and the government has to treat the situation with nauseating degrees of tenderness,lest the Indian experts of Toronto go on the warpath and thrash the government at the polls.
    So, the government hold another meeting,because that’s what the MSM and the Indian politicians want,and little to nothing will be done,but the optics will be okay. And,if Harper can manage it, we MIGHT get a glimpse into how the Rez’s are really managed through his new legislation.
    If you complain about Stephen Harper on this issue today, just imagine how it will all work out if Justin Trudeau is elected PM in 2015.

  5. It’s your contention that the PM should not meet with any FN leaders while this one starving fat person is demanding a meeting?
    Or is your comment just a regular drive by Harper slam?
    It’s Harper’s backbone and accountability bill that’s causing the trough slurpers to rebel.
    Give credit were credit’s due.

  6. There are lots of fish broths out there that make that Campells whatever soup look like a starvation diet. But how many people know that? Play to the ignorant.

  7. Not to frighten the children, but she bears a striking resemblence to Libby Davis…..Maybe it’s the same hair dress, I don’t know for sure. Well they say everybody has a double somewhere on earth.

  8. I believe that Harper should agree to meet with Chief Metabolism-Boo-Boo, but with the provision that she open the reserve’s books for a full audit so that he may fully understand the dire circumstances facing the natives living there.

  9. She’ll be blowing fish breath by the time she gets to the meeting with the PM, assuming she’s going, or has the strength to go.She may decide she needs to be admitted to hospital by then to add a little more drama.

  10. Regarding jabba the spences “fish broth” the pictured contents are probably right on the money, but the portion size shown is way too scant.

  11. Libby Davies is starving too, had you not noticed, she is in solidarity with her community of overweight urban welfare wimminz.
    Now that the Canadian Idle thing is gaining momentum, Libby the media whore will soon be there representing her constituency who have been oppressed by having to decide which free foodline to get in.

  12. The perfect example of a hunger strike not working.
    Now, if you want to know how to do a hunger strike, Google Bobby Sands.

  13. All this “grass roots” Indolence No more movement is just like the Occupy grass root movement. Astroturf.
    It is a disguise and cover for the chiefs and aborigianl industry not liking the band finance audit measures brought into law with the last budget.

  14. Chief Spence will bring to this meeting what Lizzy May brought to the election debate a few years back, which is to say alot of bs bluster with no intention of actually presenting a mature and reasoned arguement or show any type of reasonable dialogue. Also, the more I see of her and her ‘handlers’ the more she seems a puppet.

  15. I was very impressed with the fact that Mr Harper made the announcement just before handing out goodies in Ontario, where ten new seats will be up for grabs and particularly impressed with the fact that he avoided mentioning Chief Spence’s all-too-familiar name or referring to her Ottawa River side-show. Just a follow-up meeting with the AFN about a year after the last one. Well played, Mr Harper.
    And Frank Q. makes an important point, you have to Google Bobby Sands because no one really cares who he was or what he did.

  16. There is potential for a new lottery – Count Teresa’s Chins. After a month she’s wasted away to a a a a large woman. Maybe she read the UN report by the mentally challenged Frenchman. The Indians were apparently suffering from obesity and starvation at the same time.

  17. Chief Spence’s “hunger strike” reminds me of Muslims fasting at Ramadan. Eating is forbidden during the day, but they feast at night, and the nights are loooong this time of year.

  18. Roseberry “particularly impressed with the fact that he avoided mentioning Chief Spence’s all-too-familiar name or referring to her Ottawa River side-show.”
    Yep – he should hold meetings with the top chiefs and tell them they can bring Spence along like a little puppy as long as she doesn’t pee on the furniture. They will soon tire of the game.

  19. From the looks of Chief Escalde she’s been slurping back gallons of the stuff and using a Domino’s Extra large as a napkin.
    As I have said once before, when is this media-feeding-another-anti-Harper-union-concocted-charade gonna end? I can’t stand to get near the MSM when they are piling the union crap this high. This “protest” is all about fat cat reserve execs (pun intended) having to be accountable under the new Tory bill. At the same time the Public sector Unions sense danger of being accountable with Harper’s ‘right to work and union transparentcy to members’ initiatives. The Unions and fat cat Band/Reserve execs get together and concoct these silly “we’re the victims of the evil RacistHaperHitler” theatrics which they know the anti-Harper media will feast on and regurgitate with no investigation of the facts.
    I wish someone at Sun news would blow the whole union-agitated/orchestrated Native protest racket sky high. Let the public know who is feeding all this phoney constant turmoil with so called natives. First nations brotherhood of nepotism union local 101 Attawapiskat.

  20. My “fish broth” includes chunks of lobster in it, or at the very least some clams.
    This “movement” will actually grow bigger than the occupy movement only because they will be playing the race card.

  21. Texas Canucks said: “This “movement” will actually grow bigger than the occupy movement only because they will be playing the race card.”
    Wait now….it’s coming….five…four…three…

  22. This is not a hunger strike, this is a fad diet. How incompetent is Theresa Spence that she thinks that the public can’t tell the difference?

  23. This is not of Mr. Harper’s making and intelligent Canadians know that and have been embarrassed by the Indian ‘thing’ for too long. [Let’s remember how Michael Bryant FAILED all Canadians at Caledonia Estates]
    That said, nobody is better equipped to change the dialogue than Mr. H.
    It’s time to tell Aboriginals – and ALL Canadians – that: “If you’re not part of a constructive SOLUTION, you’re part of the PROBLEM.
    MM

  24. Chief Spence probably has cruise tickets booked for the 24th, hence the urgency for a meeting.

  25. My wife and I used to go to a local pub for cioppino (a.k.a. “fish soup”) for supper and we weren’t protesting anything. Alas the pub has closed bu there are good recipes to be found… http://allrecipes.com/recipe/cioppino/
    I think that while Spence is off the reserve Revenue Canada should be taxing her income and per diem – that would get her back into the bush in a hurry.

  26. Aviator “I think that while Spence is off the reserve Revenue Canada should be taxing her income and per diem – that would get her back into the bush in a hurry.”
    I know someone who worked for the tax man who tried to tax off-reserve native leaders years ago and was told to back off.

  27. judt watching some of the TV news , they are going for a traditional drum circle flashmob wearing that mott traditional of native dress -baseball hats. its a joke , this must be the weakest willed culture in the world.

  28. open the reserve’s books for a full audit
    Open Chief-pigs-in-a-blanket’s books for a FORENSIC audit, not just checking to see there are no math errors.
