I'm getting really sick and tired of all these native protests. What does everybody else think?

There was some talk recently about the Six Nations wanting to somehow re-claim all the land that's within a few miles of the Grand River. Not sure of all the details, though there's a backgrounder here: http://www.ainc-inac.gc.ca/nr/prs/j-a2006/snjsbk_e.html

There is a self claimed native protester I saw on the new in Scarbrough Rouge valley area the other day fighting to say a bridge. His name is Dave Sanford we worked part time for me on and off 10 years ago, when he could get his ass a out of bed. Finally had to get rid of him. Never worked a full day in his life.

Never mentioned he was native then and now is a big protester claming he wants his land back what a joke.

This is Canada cry loud enough and say you are an abused minority and you get what you want. The joke of a Ontario Liberal goverment would not make a tough decicion. Send in the Army like in Oaka.

First nations rights are a Federal responsibility, not a Provincial one.

It's up to Harper to make the tough decision.

No fence sitters yet.

I think we should start handing out plague infected blankets again.

The funny thing is that if white canadians protested & broke the law like they do in many native protest... we would be prosecuted.

There is a huge double standard when it comes to natives and justice. This must change

Once dated a girl from Nawash (Wiarton? Owen Sound?) Chippewas reserve. She told how incredibly corrupt most reserves are in Ontario. It was just her opinion, since she couldn't wait to get out of there, that for every $1 given to the reserve in payment, aid, welfare, or whatever you want to call it maybe 25-30 cents actually got to the "people".

This so-called standoff in Caledonia is a cash grab for the reserve. This latest one - they waited until the developer broke ground before occupying the land. This developer had owned the land for over 2 years with no opposition from the Mohawks until it actually was worth something.
