This is the way. I just love the "fuck you, Danielle!" energy.
I hope other first nations and communities send her more letters like this. If you want to be american so badly just move there and leave the rest of us out of it.
That's something I can't understand. Most of my family back in Alberta would vote to join US and have been saying it for years. Why don't they just move there? It's not hard
I think it's all a boo hoo victim mentality to avoid personal accountability. Those people's lives suck because they are dumb, not because of Ottawa, lol

You just described most problems in western society. Sincerely your southern neighbor.
FYI the greater-than symbol (>) will give you that quote look you want
Like this
They've been saying for years they would vote for Canada to be part of the USA? I had no idea this retardation predated orange Hitler. Tell them an American said they're dumb as hell for wanting to join them.
Yeah I have been hearing about wanting to join US in the Red Deer area almost my entire life.
The same people say that Quebecers are traitors to Canada. You can't make that shit up because they do...
It's the "only moral abortion is my abortion" phenomena.
Very good observation.
There's been chinwagging forever... Except that unlike the Qubecois they lack the ability to actually get their shit together to organize for it. Instead all energy is spent attempting to implement a chisto-fascist takeover of all Canada to make everyone as dumb as they are.
It's way easier to live in Canada and get mad about anything you perceive as better in the US while reaping all the benefits of being Canadian. Blue state Republicans do the same.

This is the nucleus of the conservative mindset. This right here. This is the DNA, the required personality trait, the price of admission to the conservative club.
1000% correct, they would rather whine about Ottawa fucking them in some way then actually doing work to change their material outcomes. It comes from intellectual laziness if you ask me.
Right? I was so happy to see these letter. She needs to go!
Holy shit this is the first peice of news out of alberta I've been happy to see in a hot minute.
Absolutely based
It's not news out of Alberta, it's news out of sturgeon lake Cree nations land..Alberta is just squatting.
Where my Clovis people at?
Just to pre-empt where this is going, sure, the Earth was here before all of us. But unlike the Clovis people, First Nations are still here and suffering from what my ancestors did, which is why that leads to misunderstanding when emphasised.
Sure, but they aren’t the people who were there centuries ago… those people are long dead. And anyway the Cree themselves weren’t the original settlers of Alberta, they expanded westward because of the fur trade and took a lot of land from the Blackfoot, Stoney and Dene people….
The Cree have no more right to the land than anyone else born in Alberta.
I mean, you can state that, but you haven't actually supported it. And that's before you get into the fact our legal system says they do.

13000 years ago. You are off topic.
I have a house in Alberta. I wonder if there's a way to cede my property back to the Treaty nations when I die... They deserve it more than my relatives do.
You may want to contact the First Nations band office closest to you (or another band office of your choosing) and speak to them about it.
sighs in envious American
There have been moments like this in the US.
And that’s why native rights continue to be attacked even after recent surprising wins. The current court thinks treaties are bullshit and native rights have been getting fucked for a bit now.
First Nations, Inuit and Metis people will save the rest of us from idjits like Smith and Drug Fraud.
We have a huge amount to learn from the First Nations and the French about sovereignty. It will also be quite interesting to see how the 51st state bullshit goes over with them.
Can't rely on other people to do the work.
It's a hell of a way of repaying us for all the nasty shit we did.
Smith speaks for a minority only and the press loves it and feeds it. The silent majority are 100% Canada.
Wow

Oh what is Danielle Smith up to now? Fuck.
Successfully riling up a separation movement
I left Alberta 8 years ago because I was unhappy. Why can't these stupid motherfuckers do it too?
Where to? I wish I could afford BC...
I moved to Victoria but it was really difficult yeah
Hey! Me too!
Do you have an article with background to share? :)
What info would you like, ie: on the treaties, or the SCoC rulings, etc?
Dope! I wonder if there's actual legal force here.
There is. The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled multiple times on Indigenous land rights and, for the most part, have ruled in favour of the treaties with First Nations communities and people.
Smith doesn't have a leg to stand on here.
