How Many Times....
...have we heard this threat before?
Canada could face native 'uprising' if Harper doesn't listen, chief threatens
A billion times? Those treaties contain a long forgotten clause saying that the Indians promise to obey the law. One that I think has been broken millions of times already, but like everything else about the treaties, the actual text of the treaties has long been passe as more and more absurdities are thought up by the Indian Industry and advanced as "treaty promises".
I say bring it on. I think it's time to tear up those documents anyway. Along with the Indian Act.

Did Canada save the rope from the Louis Riel execution for possible future use? When Canada had a real Conservative PM, Sir John Macdonald spoke on the execution of a man who took up arms against Canada, "He shall hang though every dog in Quebec bark in his favour."
We know that's not going to happen in today's Canada but the Criminal Code of Canada does exist. I quote Section 46:
"High treason
46. (1) Every one commits high treason who, in Canada,
(a) kills or attempts to kill Her Majesty, or does her any bodily harm tending to death or destruction, maims or wounds her, or imprisons or restrains her;
(b) levies war against Canada or does any act preparatory thereto; or
(c) assists an enemy at war with Canada, or any armed forces against whom Canadian Forces are engaged in hostilities, whether or not a state of war exists between Canada and the country whose forces they are.
Treason
(2) Every one commits treason who, in Canada,
(a) uses force or violence for the purpose of overthrowing the government of Canada or a province;
(b) without lawful authority, communicates or makes available to an agent of a state other than Canada, military or scientific information or any sketch, plan, model, article, note or document of a military or scientific character that he knows or ought to know may be used by that state for a purpose prejudicial to the safety or defence of Canada;
(c) conspires with any person to commit high treason or to do anything mentioned in paragraph (a);
(d) forms an intention to do anything that is high treason or that is mentioned in paragraph (a) and manifests that intention by an overt act; or
(e) conspires with any person to do anything mentioned in paragraph (b) or forms an intention to do anything mentioned in paragraph (b) and manifests that intention by an overt act."
Maybe somebody should remind Indian Grand Poobah Stewart Phillip of Canadian history and the Criminal Code of Canada.
There ain't gonna be an uprising, for two reasons:
1) Most rank and file Indians consider these monkeys to be jackasses, and they're right;
2) Without the Feds and the largess of the rest of us, so called First Nations would have to fend entirely for themselves. They dare not do anything to upset the gravy-train.
