NDP calls for military in Attawapiskat

So I guess I have to ask, why are't we talking about Attawapiskat? I think that this is a great development personally that the NDP is calling for this kind of serious and needed assistance. I absolutely cannot understand why when we can send resources to help the Americas attack oil hogging muslims (that is a snark), we can't take those reources and energy to help our own. I actually emailed Charlie Angus on Friday and suggested this was something worth serious consideration.  I guess I must have been on the same wave length as the leadership who obviously had been thinking about this as well

My idea would be to provide short term assistance in the form of "repair" for lack of a better way to put that, with the idea of a large scale rebuilding initiative starting in the spring. But not only for Attawapiskat, but other aborigial commuities as well, using kind of a triage approach for "worst to best", again, so to speak. Of course along the way we need to think how to best get these communities involved, say in apprenticing of community members so that can learn trades, or get other training.

I think this was a great proposal. I just hope it gets the attention it deserves both here, and in the MSM. We built the Dew Line, CFS Alert, Cold Lake Alberta, etc. There is no question the CF is up to this. I know the folks who serve, this is something they would really embrace with gusto if asked.
