How about $60 for all of Toronto?

OH OK according to ur warp kinda thinkin..B4 .you came..We were Drunk n abondaoned the lands..the tribes im sure inhabited all the land...like figure it out shit for brains..20,000 yrs weve been here...20,000 YEARS

You have been here...only about 500 years..already the whole known world is in danger.The whole planets had it!!!!!!!

Oh big fucking deal. Its not like any of us alive today stole the land from the natives and its not like any of the natives alive today ever had it to begin with. What do you want? Should we shut down the country we were ALL born in down and move back to the countries our ancestors came from generations and generations ago because your ancestors were here first? Quit crying over spilled milk already. The people of today owe you nothing.

We dont owe you the land...Either!!!!!!!!

I third that :?:

Topic carried, whatever it was he was talking about [?]

No but seriously, man. My grandparents were forced out their home and out of their country by war and came to Canada. You don't see my going back there and demanding their property back. At least you still live here.

About 20 years ago while I was staying on the Dene Tha First Nation reserve I remember a group of men pontificating that if the white man didn’t settle the land claims soon there would be an “Indian war”. The central theme of both elders and residents was that for too long they had been subjugated to swindling, extortion and lies by the white man. Several years ago at a construction trade conference I came across one of the native men who had been party to this group and their thought. He had left the reserve and after some difficult years had managed to build a company in the oil patch employing over 20 people. His perspective had changed completely and similar to Bill Cosby, he felt that his own ethnicity was its own worst enemy. Having fully integrated into Canadian society he feels like a true citizen instead of a quasi-prisoner. He is optimistic for the future of his children and refuses to allow them to participate in any ethnic based diatribe lest they use that as a crutch for failure. I told him he should write a book entitled: White Dad Red Dad; What the Whites teach their children that the Natives Don’t. (Sorry Robert K). My own family parted way from the reserves 5 generations past.

The Anishinabeg, (Mississaugans are their French name) have had ample time since the signing at the Bay of Quinte in 1787, which later evolved into the Toronto purchase, to fully assimilate into what is historically one of the wealthiest and most prosperous regions of Canada. The fact that they mostly have, from their names to their homes to their jobs demonstrates that the welfare mentality runs deep and if the 1000 or so residents can get an extra few bucks……well, land claims by Indians are starting to resemble fender benders where the victim fakes injury to fraud the perpetrators insurance provider. Just because the courts rule in your favour doesn’t make it right.
