Just give us cash for "programs" administered by out crooked leaders.In what form? They want the government to write checks for tribal leaders or invest in something else?

At this point?Fair to say @Wet Blanket is just a troll at this point?
not sure if Canada has Interstate Commerce (or interprovince )laws, but that's a clear violation
This proves it Ontario Really thinks they are all that matters... I usually don’t have an issue with Sammy but this was hard to watch. I’m amazed wetblanket hasn’t liked all his post on the subject.There's no digging your way out. You literally just admitted you have no idea how the Canadian (or American, for that matter) system works.
Yes there is a geographical component. What did you think ridings were?

Holy fuck this is embarrassing to watch.
We make the decisions b/c we pay for damn near all of you.
Oh and LOL b/c you know …. Harper! This is why I call Alberta a crybaby: you had your guy, Harper, as PM and he establishes an equalization formula, which Trudy continues to use and NOW you all birtch about it.

Your GDP per capita doesn't even put you as a top five province.
But you are correct, Alberta, and primarily our provincial government, is acting like whiny bitches.
Why you being so obtuse? Oh, b/c you are a butthurt Albertan.
Albertans are quickly becoming bigger crybabies than Quebec.
John Ibbitson was on the National last week, and he had an interesting take, which I agree with. Basically with increasing immigration of Chinese and Souteast Asians, the Liberal party will get pushed to be more hardline against the 1st nations, b/c those groups don't give a fuck about 1st nations, don't see themselves as part of the group that did them dirty and so on.
At this point?

The guy has ideological blinders on. A troll would be easier to have a conversation with. He doesn't seem to be a bad guy though. Takes all kinds..Fair to say @Wet Blanket is just a troll at this point?
How am I being obtuse? You just admitted you have no idea how our system of goverment even works.

/c you know our system is based first and foremost on one person one vote, and all other mechanics are implemented the govt represents the op

It's actually kind of funny... Trudeau ran in 2015 on a promise to eliminate the current "first past the post" system and, I believe, go to a straight popular vote and eliminate a lot of this other stuff. He backed out on that promise. Good thing for him too since the Conservatives actually got more of the popular vote in the last election:

The guy who won 34.41% of the popular vote got 121 seats, and the guy who won 33.07% of the popular vote won 157 seats. It's pretty clear that Canada's system isn't as simple as "one person, one vote".
I'm a little surprised I didn't hear more complaining about this as I heard a tremendous amount of complaining from peers about the last American election not being decided by popular vote. Heck, the guy who reneged on switching to it even got voted in again. I guess that kind of settles how Canadians really feel about popular voting issues. Personally, I'm quite happy we don't have a Conservative government. That being said, I'd still rather have switched to popular vote.
Now that's what I call shooting yourself in the foot. There goes any public support they may have had. Just brilliant!Friend just texted me that 1st nations are blocking Go Trains from entering/leaving Toronto. This is legit fucked if true … one may even say huge if true.
