Suzanne Shawbonquit, the NDP candidate in the Sudbury byelection, said Kathleen Wynne’s controversial move to appoint Glenn Thibeault over Andrwew Olivier will still hurt the Liberals in the campaign.
http://www.thestar.com/news/queenspark/2015/01/12/opp_clears_liberals_of...What an opportunity that Sudbury has in electing the 1st aboriginal woman to the Ontario legislature. A beacon of hope in the sea of Missing and Murdered Ing Women and the recent MacLean's mag article on racism against 1st nation people. A role model for native young women. Her personal story of being on the streets at age 16 to return to school, to an accomplished small business owner and community-builder.
I agree with your desire for equality! But you're asking "western democracy" to somehow pull through and help out and do the right thing. That part is something hard considering the fact that native Canadians are the founding parents of Canada! And democracy has done big nothing for them in securing a strong voice. Democracy=false hope!
