Sure, but they aren’t the people who were there centuries ago… those people are long dead. And anyway the Cree themselves weren’t the original settlers of Alberta, they expanded westward because of the fur trade and took a lot of land from the Blackfoot, Stoney and Dene people….

The Cree have no more right to the land than anyone else born in Alberta.

I’m frustrated to the point where I want the NDP to either merge with the Liberals or pledge to be a permanent coalition until electoral reform is passed, and they should make their support contingent on that making real progress.

It is going to be a minority government so I think an election sooner is likely.

Obviously he should. Having a match, which is a genuine threat to the other man’s life, is the only thing that will give him a seat at the table.

You mean like the shit power dynamic of a party always forming a majority government with only 40% of the vote?
