With our without fried rice? I like the black-bean sauce the best.

I like the chicken balls myself.


I do hope that private members bill gets some steam now. Long overdue for an overhaul here.

It won't lead to anything. Cheretien (as Indian Affairs minister) tried to make a massive change which was shot down by Trudeau because of the opposition from the Native industry. Nobody's been willing to touch it since. There's no upside for Harper, since the blow back would be so fierce. Most people have this idyllic view of natives as people of the earth. It's become a Canadian symbol, like the beaver, and we're not going to want to change that and look at the reality. And the natives as permanent victims industry is very very powerful.

Why wouldn't Natives want to know what their chiefs are making?

It is. Just imagine how good your life would be if you didn't have to worry about things you can't do anything about?

Good? Not really. Emotionless, boring, ignorant, mind-numbing. I don't call that good...

You could take that energy you waste on worrying about things you have no control over and do something productive where you can make a difference.

Like setting up an asshole recycling plant in Ottawa.

Four are Conservatives. One is a LIBERAL.

Can you spot the imposter???

The next time a reserve starts complaining about inadequate housing they'd better look within before sticking their hand out.

A vehicle of a billion people that can stop and turn on a dime...who could use conventional war as a means of population control. Someday you'll be wishing you never ever heard of black-bean sauce.

Wise words indeed. It's all very profound.

Because the chiefs tell them that's the racist white man interfering in their affairs. The only job of the racist white man is to send mo money.

Not sure you are giving them enough credit.

If the reserve is dirt poor and it comes out that your cheif is raking in half a million bucks a year, there'll be backlash alright.

But where is the outrage among (from? by? another one? ) the Natives then?

There hasn't bee so far. You don't think people notice that the chief and his friends and relatives live in nice houses and drive nice cars, while the rest live in decaying shacks with a rust heap out front. If they were truely upset, they would do something about it. But they just swallow the shit about the racist white man and keep quiet.

They're not all the same. Chief Clarence Louie of the Osoyoos band has made them very prosporous and shares the wealth. But here's the catch - you have to work for it, not just sit on your ass. I've seen clips of him at conventions giving the other natives hell. There's a few chiefs like him, but not enough. And of course he's still working from the racist basis of being a "nation" instead of just Canadian.

I wasn't outraged at the G8/G20 security. I'm not outraged at yet another native story of waste and excess. What do you suggest we do if we are not outraged PKF?

Personally I like photography.
