I remember ol' Pierre, livid with rage that the country didn't love him anymore. I remember when he declared martial law on the country following the Cross kidnapping and LaPort murder in Quebec. I was living in Dawson at that time, we were under martial law. That, I think was really the end of that particular Trudeau. I also remember him flipping the bird on the back of that train. Oh yeah, Justin has been getting even with the country for 8 years.

Pierre Elliot Trudeau famously said, “There’s no such thing as aboriginal rights.” Then the Federal Lawyers showed him the Royal Charter of 1792 fromKing George declaring the sovereign rights of First Nations. Now they try to make sound as though it was all Trudeau magnanimous gesture. When they say ‘colonization’ it sounds like it was someone else. It is the Federal Govt and the Church in collusion with the state. Land Claim is a divide and conquer strategy.

Oh what’s that..doubling the debt, interest rates climbing to the moon and inflation following suit among other things like hating the west and the north along with the military and the greatest economic driver in this country…
