Spence, who has consumed liquids since Dec. 11 to demand…
Well as a Yank living in TX I too have had to consume a large quantity of ‘liquids’ in order to enable me continue to follow this craptastic drama.
Oh, Canada!
.
Whether it is Hillary not answering questions about Benghazi while CNN basks in her courage to this flake and her fish broth, fully backed by the CBC.
Kate thank you for the work that you do for those of us who wish to live in a world where the truth still matters
the debate was which could she lose first, her job , a pound or or her appetite?
probably a delegation of a dozen flown in at taxpayers expense , hotels for the same , all to deliver a letter instead of the text messages sent last night to make up the whole scheme
CBCpravda and Jabba the Spence , zero credibility for either.
Throughout all of this recent drama of ‘Chief Spence’s’ ‘fasting’, I continually recalled that paragon of virtue, Cindy Sheehan, and her alleged ‘hunger strike’ during the Bush Admin.
Unfortunately, in this quick search, I couldn’t find Michelle M’s video essay of snark? Oh, well. Back to the ‘liquids’.
.
Oh, I’m so relieved she has gone on a solid diet – I was worried there for a while – worried the local Ottawa Dominoes would break a blender supplying her with Pizza supreme “soup”.
She should be thanked for pulling her stunt at the same time the idle folks ramped things up. Pretty much wrecked any hope they had of gaining traction. She is a hero of sorts I guess, but for reasons she won’t want to think on too much. I wonder how long until she and her BF will last back home? I give her 6 months, tops, and her BF a couple weeks. How about a pool on when charges are brought against one or both of them?
Let’s hope someone competent was looking after the Band’s Books while she was on her noble pretend hunger strike. Ya gotta give the Band members credit for their patience with this almost-martyr,she’s been gone along time from her very well-paid job!
The comments at the link are cruel, no one here who admires Spence should read them!
A few more weeks of hunger striking and she’d need her pants taken out at the waist.
Our CBC did divulge what was in the letter,same link as my comment above.
” The letter states that community members feel she has made her point and it’s time to come home. The letter also expresses concern for Spence’s health.”
That is just amazing,not a word about her removal.
FIRE.THEM.ALL.
The fat lady finally sang. We can thank her for bringing the issue of aboriginal community financial corruption to everyone’s attention. A thorough forensic audit of all reserve books is needed. Expose the corruption, greed, graft and nepotism in tribalistic government. Tribalism has no place in 21st century Canada.
Now I’m not sure Chief Caddy is bright enough to come up with this on her own but were I in her position re the money and lack of accountability I would go on a hunger strike demanding to meet with the Queen or failing that the Queen’s representative and the Queen’s Prime Minister. That way I would be elevated to the position of ‘head of state’ for my own nation and could therefore declare diplomatic immunity and thus avoid prosecution for the misappropriation of money.
I think the Ottawa river was running out of fish!!!!!
A female chief. Freakin’ degenerates.
Well I guess this gives chief Two Chins the face saving way out she was looking for.
Leave it to the First Nations to make up ancient sacred traditions on the spot – the latest “walking out ceremony” – can you believe it? The head dresses, costumes, dances, etc. are really becoming too Hollywood -the gullible maybe eating this up and are impressed.
Will Bob Rae and Mulcair be part of this “walking out ceremony” ? I suggest they carry out Chief Spence to her waiting Escalade.
“For now, the working plan is for a sunrise ceremony early Thursday. Elders from the nearby Algonquin community of Kitigan Zibi have been asked to meet with Ms. Spence in her teepee on Victoria Island, near the Parliament buildings, and engage in a “walking out ceremony” as they leave the tent for the final time, said Kitigan Zibi Chief Gilbert Whiteduck.”
Once again it is all about the money – Chief Spence was being delivered an ultimatum to-nite by the Attawapiskat band councillors to end this charade or you out on your ear as band chief, and you and your boyfriend are off the payroll, and out $250 thousand dollars tax free.
Chief Spence didn’t hesitate to see if her 13 point declaration was getting past the trash bin, but begin organizing the “the walking out ceremony” with her choreographers, and we found out in a hurry it’s all about the money after all.
APTN National News
Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence is set to end her fast by Thursday, APTN National News has learned.
A delegation of band councillors from Attawapiskat is expected to hand-deliver a letter to Spence Wednesday urging her to end her fast or face removal as chief of the community.
“They are coming in tonight,” said a source close to Spence. “Then it will end.”
The government should demand a DNA test on this whale,she is no more aboriginal than the man in the moon.What the he!! is wrong with the media in this country,they should be fired for allowing this cow to waddle into the limelight and waist everyones time for two months.Her and that snake she has for a boyfriend should be behind bars for misappropriating millions of taxpayer dollars.
Wow! Such hatred! Such anger!
Such juvenile name-calling!
She really got you guys rattled, eh? Heh.
I pity you all.
I guess all the people protesting were able to take time away from work and use holiday time for missed wages. Or did some one pay their way? Must be nice to have generous friends like that.
Does anyone think she’ll ever be asked how much weight she lost?
They want her back?
Agent smith THAT is funny
Oh I would believe CBC, just as soon as they refund 1.4 billion/yr back to the taxpayer.
Chief Spence has done great work these last few weeks, exposing the rank hypocrisy of Canada’s media, who apparently do not know what a hunger strike is, nor have ever considered investigating before fawning over an idiot.
Next week, to cover their butts, Chief Moose Broth, will be denounced by CBC as a Harper plant, put out there to discredit CBC, the NDP and assorted liberal nobodies .
When the financial investigation finally gets done, then poor Chief and BF will be Conservative party lackies, engaged in corrupt practices to impoverish the poor band members.
As for those wonderful police standing around encouraging crime, credibility is going to be a problem, seems like the Hells Angels have better ethics.
And at least the HAs don’t pretend to be working for the public. Serve and protect Eh.
Who?
It was really a peppercorn steak that lured her from her “hunger strike”.
But seriously, the farce has gone off long enough and everyone is embarrassed.
From the comments:
PE Scanlon · Fry Cook at Mr. Krabs
Relieved to hear she’s ending her hunger strike. I was becoming concerned for her health because she appears to have put on a few pounds in the last 6 weeks.
The media needed this out of this pathetic farce every bit as much as Spence. And having to double down on it by validating this bit of absurdist theatre looks especially good on them.
They dishonored themselves by being bamboozled by cons. Now the Idlers movement has been exposed as a political attack on the leaders of the moment.The jig is up. Even they know Canadians have lost any respect for Indians anymore. They got outed. Particularly when its main hunger striker looks fatter in her food Strike than before her diet.
Apparently, Bob Rae’s going to keep this thing going. Headline from the G&M, aka the Probe and Fail:
Bob Rae pledges to take up cause as Chief Spence ends hunger strike http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/bob-rae-pledges-to-take-up-cause-as-chief-spence-ends-hunger-strike/article7666112/
(‘not behind a pay wall for some reason …) “We are really reaffirming the need for the government to recognize this is a third order of government that needs to be treated with respect and there is an agenda that needs to happen,” Mr. Rae said. Ms. Spence, he said, has done something quite courageous. “I don’t think she is giving in or giving up anything. I think she can walk out with her head high and with a deep appreciation from the communities around her about what she has tried to do.”
Bob Rae must have a PhD: Piled higher and Deeper.
When you look at what Rae did to decimate our doctor-situation in Ontario, any negotiations with FNs this grandstanding charlatan is involved in has got to stink — not to mention his animus towards PM Harper. Rae should keep his twitching fingers out of this pie.
Bob Rae is involved? Oh No! The interim leader (soon to be replaced)of the third place, MTV party is going to bat for the dingbat. I’m sure PM Harper is trembling at the thought. Most likely with laughter but trembling nevertheless. If this spoof were to get any spoofier we would be more ridiculous than Monty Python.s Department of Funny Walks!
The horror will really set in when she discovers her skinny wardrobe need to be bigger than her fat wardrobe.
Q. What’s green, red, and brown and goes 40mph?
A. A Big Mac in a blender.
Gary, she stated on the CTV interview with Kevin Newman,that she had lost 31 pounds at that point.
All comments aside about the Chief’s rotund physique and her faux hunger strike, she is one reprehensible piece of work. While she lives in relative luxury, rewards her cohorts handsomely and, whether by incompetence or by design, fails to keep track of millions of tax-payer dollars, her “subjects” live in abject poverty comparable to a third world hell hole.
It’s a pretty safe bet that the majority of the reserve dwellers don’t relish the thoughts of her return unless it’s to be the star attraction at a tar and feather get-together. However, it would take an incredible amount of courage for anyone to organize a coup, replace the evil queen and have her face retribution. A failed coup would have disastrous consequences for anyone taking part. The repercussions would be horrendous and what little money that was allowed to trickle down to the masses would be immediately withheld from the mutineers. From what we’ve all seen and read about Spence, she seems to be completely devoid of morals and any compassion she has for her people is certainly not evident.
Didn’t know thank you.
Gee, it must be a coincidence that on the day she is to emerge from her teepee to speak to the world she suddenly has to go to the hospital to check on her health. What are the odds that she is too “ill” to speak to the press? In particular, that she will NOT be seen on camera. Likely because she has in fact gained weight. What a sorry farce.
Well, what do you know. She isn’t there. What a shameful display. Lies, lies, lies. Nob Rae is in good company.
Let this be a lesson to all of you about these crazy fad diets. As soon as you stop them, the weight immediately goes back on. Apparently, with this one, it goes back on while you’re on it!
