And as you say it is just another Con charade, to blame the victims, as they do with every other group. And since it's aimed at the poorest of Canadians it's absolutely disgraceful. The Cons are the last people on earth to be accusing others of corruption, for they are standing on a heap of manure as big as a castle, and they are the ones who should be audited...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-68578211289892925042013-01-01T01:45:19.958-05:002013-01-01T01:45:19.958-05:00hi thwap....Harper is a clinical psychopath so he ...hi thwap....Harper is a clinical psychopath so he can't feel sympathy, he can only calculate whether it is good for him or not. So hopefully he can be persuaded to meet Chief Spence, for her death will do him no good.<br />But Harper is such a weirdo who knows what he might do? So as I told salamander I'm hoping for the best, but fearing the worst...

But I still think it's good to hold them up to a certain standard of decent behaviour, so we can illustrate how low they are, and how low they would take us. Unless someone can persuade Harper to show a little class for once, or dare I say a little humanity, this situation could end very badly...

And they BLOW IT ALL on wages and administration! Where does MY money go!!, the more ashamed I am of this whole episode. Not just because the PM would let a woman starve instead of talk to her, which is fucking repulsive enough, but also because the people supporting his inaction are just as much of an embarrassment, lacking in grey matter as they do. For, unbeknownst to Harper worshippers, FN Bands are required to submit annual audits and financial statements in order to qualify for further funding. FN like Attawapiskat are audited every year and the records are in the public domain. Attawapiskat has published its financial statements since 2005, all you have to do is look online at them. It's all there. Every penny and where it was spent. Harper knows exactly where the funds have been spent but as usual he is lying to Canadians to play politics. As for the mud dumb stupid CON base screaming how the Indians 'blow' money, well, every cent is audited and accounted for and can BE SEEN and VERIFIED. Boy oh boy it is hard to fathom how STUPID these CON shills are, screaming and making up numbers when the actual ones are online in the public domain. <br /><br />And further to THAT, Ministerial approval from Ottawa is actually a requirement before any capital expenditures can occur on a reserve. This is why claims of 'FN's waste the money' are so ridiculous; because all expenditures were signed off by Harperland. A First Nations band will generally pass a Band Council Resolution on expenditures (say on housing and education), and that must be forwarded to Ottawa for approval. This whole thing is a disgusting CON charade to pander to its nitwit, ignorant and quite frankly racist base.Wazznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-26585942389458252062012-12-31T08:59:37.687-05:002012-12-31T08:59:37.687-05:00harper is complete, amoral scum. he might actually...harper is complete, amoral scum. he might actually be calculating that Spence's death will lead to violent demonstrations that he imagines can be used to justify a crackdown.<br /><br />Unfortunately, even progressive Canadians contribute to this idiocy by having conniptions whenever a window is broken and by repeating (like parrots) that isolated acts of vandalism "justify" the resultant crackdowns.<br /><br />I don't know if harper is hoping she dies or if he's dithering, torn between his missplaced pride and his fears of the repercussions of her death.thwaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399550285738440669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-26291939868341215252012-12-31T02:24:59.549-05:002012-12-31T02:24:59.549-05:00.. mm .. you expect altruism or character ?
