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."

Hiawatha Revisited (apologies to Longfellow)
On the steps of Itchee Palmee,
In the shining Land-of-Monee,
Stood the wigwam of Nodomush,
Daughter of the Moon, Nodomush.
From behind her rose the chorus
Rose the shouts with anger in them;
But before her beat Endeepee,
Beat her drum for her, Endeepee
Beat Ceebeecee and Endeepee.
Why di I suspect, that loud Chucky Angus, will be unavailable for comment, , due to a blood clot for a long time..
Noted liberal fat runt dwight duncan has tweeted in support of spence. It’s not surprising – given his party’s attitude toward finances, why would they quibble about huge audit discrepancies and the abject waste of taxpayers money? One con honours another. They probably compared notes on technique.
Right on Kate…you predicted the ‘blood clot’.
Henceforth…’not available for comment’ reduced to an acronym: “BCS”=blood clot syndrome.
The amusing thing is, that two years after Thomas Mulcaire comes to power, all the federal money will have been spent. The laws of economics are – LAWS. They hold for conservative and communist alike. Then all these fine supporters will be like the Ontario teachers: no longer the good buddies but rather the enemies of Those Who Rule.
The local MP, from the New-Dipity-do Party has been AWOL on this issue for a long long time. Money unaccounted for…
Doesn’t pass the smell test.
Is this the NDP’S, dare I say it…… Sponsorship moment?
You heard it here first.
Don’t mention it.
Hope we hear more from the people that have suffered under the likes of Spence and Kennedy.
Akin provides a letter of ‘dissent’ from some Attawapiskat residents. They are not fans of Charly Angus:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/119332657/Attawapiskat-elders-write-to-Department-urging-audit
Here’s a question any CBC reporter can borrow,,,,
“Has the Attawapiskat 1st nation made any political donations, to any federal political party or candidate, over the last 12 years?”
I have come to the conclusion that the Conservatives know about many, many skeletons in people’s closets, and they are just waiting for the most embarrassing moments to let them out. Paul Martin – “Chief Escalade is a hero!” Woops!
Do you think any of the missing money might trace to
certain political hacks and fronts not unacquainted
with the solicitous politicos rushing to Queen Escalade
-Zamboni’s side to dry her tears and fluff her feathers?
Bluetech – from the document in your link, I’m curious about the line “that our welfare – ontario works – shall be cut in half!” Am I reading something into this document, or do the people in Attawhatever receive provincial ‘assistance’ (welfare) in addition to the millions of federal dollars?
If this was any other town, business, etc, you could bet on a forensic audit to be underway as I write, but I wouldn’t count on it. It would be interesting to see where the missing money is hidden. Off shore accounts? Maybe a lot of lumpy mattresses.
More questions to help CBC journalists,,,,
Is Chief Spence an owner, or co-owner of any condos in Florida, Arizona, Hawii or any other state in the USA?
Does chief Spence own or co-own any real estate off the reserve of Attawapiskat?
Ian Lee was a guest on Evan Solomon’s /Power and Politics today. He called this audit the Adscam for First Nations.
Make sure y’all watch Ezra tonight. More is revealed, and it isn’t complimentary to the Queen and her Consort.
What surprises me most is that the idle some more movement is not already distancing itself from Spence et al. Unless there is a complicity here that we are unaware of, at least publicly. Could the whole lot of the chiefs be working in concert because they know the Attawapiskat scandal will be only the first domino to fall? As Ezra often hints there is likely much, much more embezzling going on elsewhere so it makes some sense that the chiefs would be orchestrating the idle business in an attempt to obfuscate and distract. A pre-emptive strike as it were, with the aid their media party allies and once again our Prime Minister has seen this coming and is steadily and cunningly turning the tables on the lot of them, just like he did with the three amigos attempted coup? Hmmmmmmm…
From the sidelines @ 4:55:
Possibly….

Ezra and Kate, you magnificant bastards! Good on you both!
Has anyone noticed that Charlie Angus received 91% of the popular vote in the Attawapiskat polling precinct in the 2011 federal election?
http://www.elections.ca/scripts/ovr2011/34/8962.html
Not surprising at all that our illustrious RCMP seem to be (apparently) out of the picture, but a shakedown of the Banks would blow the doors off this racket!
Just like an Ontario Liberal, isn’t it? The government of which he’s a member (still, apparently, but who knows?) does nothing about Caledonia, despite its sole constitutional responsibility in the matter*, but Mr. Duncan still manages to stick his nose into Attawapiskat as if he actually has some say in that matter. Unbelieveable!
*Section 92, Constitution Act (British North America Act), 1867-1982.
eastern paul at 4:00 PM; “he New-Dipity-do Party..”, didn’t you mean “New-Dipity-Poo Party”?
Personally, I think these New-Doobrals are so arrogant and confident that the MSM will make their assertions come true
that they just don’t care about the truth.
Amazing, how chief Spence is now not talking to the media? This idle no more has been idling for far too long. I cannot believe how much money this First Nations reserve continues to receive from Canadian tax dollars. Unbelivable! In my opinion, Spence is hiding and creating distractions( so called-hunger strike) to take away from the facts that she cannot justify for millions unaccounted for? Nice salary she makes too? I think a serious investigation is in order regarding Spence and her staff. The public should be made fully aware of where this money has gone. I don’t believe that Prime Minister Harper should even have this meeting with Spence at this time, until a further investigation is in process, regarding Spence and staff.
Do they get provincial welfare?
Yes,of course they do,if they qualify,and if they are native,that qualifies them.
The Federal money is to run the reserve and provide for necessities like infrastructure,education,health,escalades,etc.
If a native lives off-reserve,they bring their treaty card to a doctor,dentist,or pharmacist,and the paperwork is filled out and the treatment freely given.The feds are billed for that.
But the cheques that herald the frenzy commonly known as ‘welfare wednesday’ are provincial. I have long said that children on reserves are traded like commodities. This is partly why. I’ve seen the reserve and the damage done. The backstabbing and treachery by family,friends,and even child services, is horrendous.
If a noble brave can set himself up with a woman with four or five kids,he is sitting pretty.
Our natives will only get to an acceptable place in modern life through a long difficult journey. The ‘idle no more/spence’ group do not want to advance. They want to increase the funds available so the rut will have more toys.
Tatunka!

Charlie Angus: Harper: Act Now Before Chief Theresa Spence Dies
(Dec 21 headline….)
Bwaaahaaaahaaaa
I miss when crooked politicians were at least somewhat smart.
Carl: re political party contributions
Excellent question (part of the missing receipts perhaps?)
But such donating from one level of government to a party in another level should be strictly illegal. Amazingly it apparently is not. Let’s hope that if it did occur that it is made public (or did band admin members made donations? If they did that should already be public). And with it being publicized, it would give PMSH the moral authority to ban it/ make it a criminal act.
Fiduciary: Is it only for whites?

Yeah….lay charges. 🙂
perosnally I am shocked that CBCpravda has been airing this. usually they backpeddle like a clown on a unicycle when caught on the wrong side. or more usual , they grow quiet as a whore in church, like they did when their little buddy Omar Khadr pleaded guilty
cal2, I think the CBC would’ve backpeddled 15-20yrs ago, but now days they take their lead from the U.S. MSM. The media doesn’t backpeddle, what they do now is make even more noise. They just step to the side to distract you, start waving their arms and scream even louder. I happened to be able to watch the first 1/2 hour of Evan Solomon’s /Power and Politics today, just to see the spin. Indeed there was spin, now the mantra is that the feds are just as much to blame for the poor book keeping because they give them the money, the gov’t is supposed to checkup on the natives and the CMHC approved the loans for morgates to build the houses, SO SEE,,, IT’S THE FEDERAL CONSERVATIVES FAULT, lol. The media is slime, I just wished someone would’ve twitered soloman and asked him “if he didn’t care about the poor natives living in tents in the middle of winter, while at the same time all this money was unaccounted for”. Doesn’t he care about the expenditures in the 6 and 7 figures that have NO verification, vendor unknown, and item or service unknown.
The houses Evan,,,think of the houses that could’ve been built.
Of course soloman didn’t show the items in the report like Ezra did on his show!
