Clayton Kennedy, former Attawapiskat co-manager, charged with fraud.
In his private life, Kennedy is also the partner of Attawapiskat Chief Teresa Spence.
That’s the sound of politicians scurrying for cover.

Loudmouth Charlie Angus and Pat(The Yap)Martin must have taken a vacay together as the silence is almost deafening.
In my best Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter voice, “Look at the soize of that Hunger Striker!”
Why is there always a big screen TV? Because you can win one just for voting.
Different du jour…
I’m actually shocked that the CBC covered the story, but not at all shocked that they didn’t allow comments.
Correct me if I’m wrong but was it not the CBC which was the biggest pimps for corpulent queen Teresa and here calorie-rich hunger strike? Maybe time they eat a little of their own poop.
Has. Theresa Spence started to eat yet?
Something fishy here
And no comment from the queen of pork ?
Nothin’ here, this is just the actions of a vengeful Harper government, don’t you know. (Sarcasm swith off)
In all likelyhood politicians like Junior Trudeau and the dippers and the MSM won’t have to wear this, they’ll pretend it never happened that they never said anything wrong or were misunderstood..yadda…yadda…yadda.
JT calls for a pause until root causes can be determined. In Quebec he blamed it on typical non-Quebecois incompetence at corruption. He’s also calling for a UN inquiry as to this being the result of the OPP detachment losing a hockey game to the locals.
Apparently Chief Spence is on vacation:

Perhaps she saw this charge coming and took-off on “The Worlds Fastest Indian”
Chief Theresa: “You’re not listening..We just need more money…”
That diamond earring he has would supply the whole tribe with glue and bags for a month.
Ha!
So, he’s currently co-manager of another Band. What,were they THAT impressed by his resume?
The Council of his new Band had better have the books checked every fifteen minutes with Kennedy in charge.
Well looky here! The chickens have come home to roost.
I well remember Junior Trudeau going to the teepee and proclaiming his little self “inspired” by the “starving” Chief Spence.
Bob Rae ran all the way to Attawapiskat to berate the Conservative Government.
I am sure there were many others like Peter Mandsbridge, news reader, who in sepulchral tones would announce it was “day xxoo of the hunger strike”
Me, I always wanted to see the bill for room service at the 4 star hotel, who was that ex-spensed to?
Of course Peter news reader will make a special show about this.
When pigs fly.
Will he ask Junior what Nathelie thinks of all this?
People, people!!!!
Back off the guilt by association stuff!
Theresa is shocked, shocked that Clayton concealed this from her. She never, never in her wildest dreams thought that anything like this was going on.
She just thought that the dough kept rolling in because Clayton was a good frugal money manager.
Note that the Ceeb’s tone has changed regarding the situation in Attawapiskat, now they feel compelled to explain “co-management is the middle level of intervention by the federal government in order to improve a First Nation’s financial situation” & that the “Department of Aboriginal Affairs and the band council agree on a co-manager, who is paid by the band.”
They’ve got a call into the Minister, they will now of course try to blame the Conservative government for the whole affair.
Compliments to the photographer who caught this gentleman in a less than flattering pose. It does pose the question which has often plagued me. What is the actual DNA content of the leading lights of the aboriginal peoples?.
If ever anyone looked like he had an white Anglo-Saxon protestant/ Irish descendant, this gentleman does. For years this question has either been ignored or avoided.
If the paternal line could be traced, one wonders who could be found? I can see the Irish soldiery chafing against the stern rule of the British army. They deserted to our American neighbours and who knows whether some of them found refuge with the aboriginal people?
Wonder if Chuckie Angus has bothered to check into Attawapiskat, the Kingdom of Spence, to see if she’s getting enough to eat and enough gas for her Cadillac Escalade to ride her fat ass about the poverty stricken shacks her people supposedly live in?
Nothing sadder than a Cree telling a sad story – really. Nicest people in the world when sober.

She remarked how the nuns picked on her and hurt her. Lady, that’s equality not discrimination – the nuns put the fear of God in everyone.
The darndest thing, I went to CBC and comments were closed; the story at NP is covered and the comments are also closed for now at least. I don’t recall this being the case a year ago with Spence’s part time hunger strike.
“Lady, that’s equality not discrimination – the nuns put the fear of God in everyone.”
Yup. You messed with Sister Euphemia at your own peril.
We had Mother Anesia, but in High School Sister St. Mark made up for her. Have you ever seen a nun do a cartwheel in full habit?
The CBC owns this. Too bad we can’t charge them as accomplices. But we can eliminate their public funding.
“But we can eliminate their public funding.”
We can’t …. but PMSH sure as hell can.
And despite all she went through she endured and became a success. Many of our older generation had to endure hardship and overcame their ‘bad lot’ in life.
Good for her. She should be an example that natives look to….not Chief Spence et al.
I will be surprised if this guy sees one day of court.
After all he only stole money. He offended nobody.
If he does get any punishment for this.It will be community service.
