I've got a great idea to solve the problem. Instead of giving natives parkland in cities and municipalities, WTF don't we give the natives Whistler and call it square.

As the weenies in HR would say "it's a win win situations" The native get a great area that generates tons of money and we don't have to pay for the upkeep of something, most of us in the province will never go to, little alone be able to afford.

The only drawback would be that Gordo and his friends might not be too happy having to give up their million dollar ski cottages, but then again who really gives a shit about him and his rich friends.

And while were at it why don't we give them BC place. It's falling down and pretty soon the City of Vancouver will be back at the Provincial Governments doorstep asking the rest of the Province to supply money for a new facility to help them sustain their economic growth, while other regions starve.

It's about time that the rest of Canada, the taxpayers, stand up and say enough is enough. The natives are staking claim to high priced, developed lands that they can make money off of and kick those who disagree out.

So I guess you'd rather pay their welfare bills then have them make their own money? Sounds reasonable.

New poll: Would you rather pay the native's welfare bills or would you rather natives generate their own wealth?

And generally people who are making their own money are more healthy - so the next poll is - Would you rahter pay the Native's welfare bills and medical expenses or would you rather they generate their own jobs and wealth. ..

Last poll: Do you feel like a registered charity that will run out of clients if Indians all got off welfare and created their own wealth?

Just wondering - you seem to care so much about property and issues like this that really have nothing at all to do with you.

You would think you would be happy that Indians got off welfare and saved you money. Guess not...

Donny...The natives have every right to make their own money but not off of what others have invested millions to develop.

Well it may not seem right but it is cheaper then waiting to get your asses sued off in court or continuing to pay the bills for supporting an underclass of people in this country.

I suppose you have some relationship to the millionairs that don't want the Indians owning land around their properties. The millionairs will still be rich and you'll be footing the bill for the land they made millions exploiting and the tax bill you get from keeping people on welfare.

Donny...Nope..Sorry don't know any folks that are rich enough to live in BC..We actually that isn't true. Know some people that worked to earn enough money to afford it.

I can't see how you can say that these people are exploiting the lands without thinking about what the natives are attempting to do.
