She's not complaining about soaring HIV rates on Saskatchewan First Nations either.
Why? Because it is an article about housing and services, not about HIV or racist trigger-happy white people . Doesn't mean that either don't exist.
Nope it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. But clean water, heat and a working septic system is probably more of a priority, I'm guessing.
And you think no one does anything about corruption because we are afraid of being called racist?
White people yes.
You said yourself that several chiefs have been removed; how do you think that happened if no one did anything? Perhaps read up on that one before making false assumptions.
3 cheifs one 1 reserve, one after another, being removed for corruption? With accusations seemingly being leveled against the 4th? It sounds like getting them removed is a long drawn out battle with, I suspect, lots of people suffering in the process. I think they most likely facilitated it themselves. I think white people hear and know about it but don't want to get involved. I know someone who works with INAC who has seen it first hand but says she will lose her job if she(or anyone) speaks about it, in point of fact.
And do you really think that having someone blown apart by the cops is the desired outcome, or that it justifies these trigger happy farmers' argument? Actually it means giving them a free rein is going to wind up with more dead people.
I think farmers who have people showing up with guns or shooting at them (Ed Smith) should have the same oppertunity to defend themselves like our police officers do. Yup could wind up with "more dead people". Suppose the theif that almost shot Ed Smith in the head decided NOT to leave but decided to turn around come back and force his way into their home? What if his intention was to murder the 80 year old couple and rob them? Or even just smash them around and tie them up?
Do you happen to live on a farm and are subject to the same theivery and violence Sask farmers face?
