Via email: “What sort of precedent is this going to set? In addition to the 117,000 acres, the Algonquin’s will also receive $300 million. This has been pushed through with no reporting (at least that I’ve seen). At the information session my brother attended, it was presented as a done deal.”
More information and dates of the remaining Public Information Sessions can be found at the Algonquin Land Claim website.
That is… BONKERS.
The thing is, much of that land was already surrendered in 1821 as part of the Rideau Purchase Treaty.
When I phoned the Algonquin Land Claim Information Office to ask about this I was also told that language in this land claim settlement will allow additional Native groups to claim that land, meaning that the Crown will pay for the same piece of land at least twice and perhaps several times.
The “First Nations” better get what they can while the white man is still a majority in this country, because in a few years time when the demographics shift in favor of SE Asian and the Indian sub continent immigrants, and hence the political power, the natives will be told to pound salt.
Are our elected and appointed elites, ignorant of the meaning of the oaths they swore?
Consider yourself lucky, in BC the Indians claim 110% of the land (well that was in the 90’s, it could well be up to 300% by now).
I’m beginning to see the wisdom of the ancients esp the Egyptians and the Romans for placing the content of treaties or laws on stone obelisks or bronze plates in the Forum for example. First, everyone knew exactly who had concluded what. There was no hiding it. And there was no showing up fifty, or a hundred or a hundred and fifty years after the fact and claiming that something had never been settled. It was literally chiseled in stone for Pete’s sake. Surely there must be a way of photo etching treaties, the signatures and the photos of the signatories into stainless steel or something equally permanent, immovable and vandal-proof so that our great grand children don’t have to go through this c#@p all over again.
Man! Wait till Ontario hears about this!
What? They heard about it a long time ago?
Be riots in the streets, eh?
Ya don’t think so….?
Ever get the feeling that DIA, plus Liberal
provincial governments funding Aboriginal programs,
plus free spending reserve band officials, represent
an emergency patronage trough to keep the Fed Libs alive?
You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see what is going on. Do a google search on Agenda 21.
To those here that are surprised, like we never even saw this coming??
From Friday’s Toronto Sun, 2013 03 08. : After 142 years, Metis are now “Indians” This is part of what the Manitoba Metis are “owed.”
“Supreme Court ruling opens door to massive Manitoba Metis land claim that includes Winnipeg and much of southern Manitoba.
The decision now opens the door for a massive land claim to 1.4-million acres that includes a large swath of southern Manitoba and Winnipeg.”
….more of the same to follow, in other jurisdictions.

what a sad delusional group are leading this country.
My great uncle worked in Rockliffe Park in the early 1900s doing water/sewer construction. He said that they dug up all sorts of Indian artifacts. It was obviously quite a settlement area.
I can’t wait until the Indians stake a land claim on places like Rockliffe Park, Bridle Path, etc.
See how the Supreme Court dandies and all the other suckholing lefties like it when it’s THEIR lands that are going to be traded away.
