Finally someone is trying!

In the debate this past week the NDP has acknowledged the needs for the First Peoples, and has done the right thing in addressing these issues. Obviously it turned into an attack on Mr. Harper which turned in his favor from what I hear. Perhaps addressing these issues means nothing to the average Canadian but it means alot to the First Nations. As far as the Conservatives/Liberals go they are the oppressive governments of past and present. I personally would like to see a change in government with real democratic values. People are so caught up with destroying eachother's image and worrying about the economy however, that's not what is going to feed your children when they are hungry. Natives always lived off the lands and waters, now they are becoming poisoned and seeds are biochemically engeneered to produce once so that people depend on the government to supply them with food. When Natives take a rightful stance within governement forums and have proper repesentation then Canada will see major changes in the way things function around here. The First Peoples did not creat the nightmare politicians are losing their hair over, that's their problem. All the greed is finally catching up; the U.S. can only run on I.O.U.'s for so long, Canada is next in line. All the resources that were here upon the arrival of the Euro-settlers was a gold mine to them essntial to their survival here as well as overseas. First Peoples were almost exterminated but managed to survive and learned the games they play. Now the time has come to address eachother, fix what needs to be fixed, and then worry about the rest of the world. It would be ignorant to go into someone else's home and critisize them when your own house is a filthy mess.
