The UN can blow it out their ass. All the countries who didn't sign are all the countries with a large aboriginal issue. Pitty we couldn't have fixed it like those fine African countries the UN keeps on about.
I like the spin on that too. So this was directly the Harper governments fault and the Liberals would have signed this? The natives definately need help and with all the money we spend in their name, they should be running us, not suffering in squalor with poisoned water.

   

glad we didn't sign this archaic declaration.

   

do you know what the hell archaic means??? it was a bs pc document that was far too ambiguous.

   

Good.

"Indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired."

That just gives the fringe natives more fuel to use when they unilaterally and illegally block public infrastructure and blockade towns with no regard for the population.

   

Looks like a line from the "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"

   

it's from the UN, did anyone expect it to be fair or well thought out?

   

I think Canada as a nation needs to not grant first nations self government so much as negotate bringing first nations inot confederation.

   

can Donny now turn his house into a casino......if he owns it?

   

lol, all the gamblers where I live go to the reserve just across the border to gamble.

Its their best money maker...

   

This declaration, like most things that come out of the UN, is toothless and non-binding. It amounts to nothing more than another UN circle jerk.

Edit

glad we didn't sign this assinine declaration.

There! That's better.

   

[font=Comic Sans MS]The world is going to hell anyways! And when things happen and look like doomsday as with 911--like a bunch of chicken shits--the right -winger shallow phonies will go and hide in their bomb shelters where there was no communication to the outside world...and a few days later they'll all come out looking like the fools they are... [/font]

   

Remember down the road not across the street

   

I really hope that some of the native activists do not use this stupid declaration as a tool to get the gutless governments that we have in this country to fork over more of our hard earned cash to pacify them.

I fear that these natives will throw this in our faces and we will be paying for the rest of ours, and our kids, and grandkids natural lives to keep the natives away from those dreaded things called real jobs.
