re: the native issue.
have you read the Kelowna Accord yet? It was signed by Paul Martin, has widespread support amongst native leaders (at least), calls for a massive infusion of money, as well as wholesale change as far as administration goes (native self-rule would be much easier..i.e. "treaty federalism")
all in all a great step forward for natives...so naturally Harper buried the thing...he refuses to implement any of it. In fact just a few weeks ago the Liberals introduced it as a private member's bill, all parties save the conservatives voted for it - but of course they aren't beholden to that vote since no government can be compelled to spend money on a private member's bill.
just one more reason to hate Harper and his cronies...what a prick.
