All people have to do is boycott the native run casinos for a couple of months and see what happens.

   

How many land claims are you familiar with...3 maybe 4? Out of between 800 and 1000 that exist.

And if someone starts mining, or de-foresting or developing on this desputed land...well if it was your land you would cause a ruckus too.

Like at Oka, there was no publicity until the town decided it was building a golf course no matter how many indian burial sites or how sacred the land was to the Indians. Now how are we supposed to protect our culture?

Same thing here, pretty tough to be in an endless buracratic system fighting for the land claim to be recognized nd settled when someone else is trucking 20,000 truckloads of the land away each year.

   

Donny...Just out of curiousity...How many of those 800 to 1000 land claims involve lands that have either resource developments on them or urban developments?

Just wondering if natives are claiming lands that have no added value through resources or if it just lands that have potential for profit through development.

   

I have a better idea.

Invoke the War Messures Act on these fucking blockades.

They do a few more, we'll come and beat the shit out of them.

Eventually they will get the message.

That has to be the most conservative thing I've ever written, but still. Fucking Anti-Canadian Native Separatists need to make the way Quebecois Separatists and DIS-A-FUCKING-PEAR!

   

I also think they should be treated like criminals.

Like the FLQ, for example,

But let's not send these guys to Cuba.

   

Urban - I would be guessing that it’s probably not very many. In the west most of our communities are away from major centers. Most community's land claims are adjacent or very close to where they are now.

But there are some and the areas around the Great lakes are more prone to being in urban areas simply because of the higher density populations in those areas.

Resources - I would guess that many of these areas have resource potential. But legally the government and industry are required to consult with Natives before harvesting these resources.

   

Thanks for the info Donny. I find it strange that the western Canadian land claims do not seem to garner the attention or need for blockades while the ones in Ontario and Quebec require blockades and always seem to involve these radical Mohawk's.

Insofar as resource development I think the developers have to consult with landowners whether they are native or not.

   

In the USA if you blocked the railroad tracks the Railroad Police would come out to clear the tracks and would not hesitate to shoot you if necessary.

A few dead terrorists would go a long way to restoring order not just on the tracks, but in the rest of Canada, as well.

   

If first nations wanted property rights why were they one of the largest opponents to Meech Lake?

   

but in all seriousness it seems to be a lot of money for a municipality and the land can not be given as it has been sold.

   

You cannot sell stolen property.

   

It was not stolen, it was taken by a givernment through eminient domain. According to British Common Law as expressed by the US Bill of Rights (Charter is open on this issue) the government must give compensation.

   

Donny...Let's not get into the 'stolen land' thing. When you talk like that you only add fuel to the fire.

btw...Just how much land are you claiming?
