And hell, is it that demoniac for someone to organise a Palestinian state already?

I’m staying away from that with a twelve foot pole, haha.

I don’t know how that would work in Canada, but hell, make a big federal reserve to all the tribespeople, put them all in there and say: “figure yourselves out.” Government should do what’s fair for the people, alright, but that doesn’t mean it has to babysit the people. Want your lands like they were before? here, have a big portion of land. Figure it out.

Well, we gave them a lot of land, and they receive around 20 billion per year in aid from the government. They govern themselves, with aboriginal self-government, and apparently, they aren’t doing too well. Like, there is a lot of drunk people, people that are too lazy to do anything, since they get so much money from the government. I read an article in the National Post explaining why the Natives self-government was a failed experiment, and why there needs to be reform. It was funny, two weeks later, the same author of the article went to an ant-racism conference in Toronto, and they had this Native guy comparing him to Hitler for suggesting reform. I think it’s a bit of a touchy issue.
