| Pipeline jobs will be mostly temporary. Once a pipeline is built, you don't need quite as many people to maintain as you did to build it. Railroads, on the other hand, are the retro-way of the future - we're picking up again where we never should have left off. They will provide permanent, skilled j... |

| Not an issue. People are starving to survive, and you're worried about how many passports a Prime Minister carries? This is red herring extreme, an invented issue to distract from the multitude of real problems that need to be solved. |

| Move the people to larger population centers, let them assimilate for a bit and learn the skills of modern society. Then if some want to go back to the res to set up web businesses or what have you, they can do it on their own dime This is what got us here in the first place. Thanks for playing, tr... |

| What are their resources, vs those of the state, since in Canada most land is owned by the crown (state)? It's a good question. I'm not going to pretend I understand the nuances of how property law affects the aboriginal lifestyle, but that which is on or in land they own also belongs to them and i... |

| I don't know what the First Nations' skills are, but surely they have some and can be taught others. There's no such thing as a person or an environment without economic potential. Here's an example: I'm sure there are hunters around North America that would pay tens of thousands of dollars to go o... |

| What can we non-reservation folks do to shrink our proportion of the problem? 1) Give them more control over their own resources so less of what they have has to be bought from us outsiders and shipped absurd distances at great expense. What are their resources, vs those of the state, since in Cana... |

| Abortion is not a debate any more than cancer treatment is a debate. Whatever emotional, superstitious, religious reasons anyone might have for opposing abortion, those are reasons they should consider when it comes to their body, and not anybody else's, because they are not reasons founded in evide... |

| Big surprise, private banks own your national debt. Pierre Trudeau sold ours to the private banks and we now owe so much interest on that debt that we can never hope to repay even the interest. The problem here is not capitalism in and of itself, but unchecked capitalism enacted by unaccountable pol... |

You will not have to worry about making decisions or thinking about whether or not new laws are bad for you, because there will be no debates! Do not think too hard about democracy, just pick up your sh... |
