Natives to blockade roads over HST ?

[durablepsyche]

Only THEY would dare to do it - because they know they've gotten away with it before.
Read this part twice:

'Ontario and B.C. native leaders say imposing the tax without consulting natives is an
attack on their sovereignty and a breach of governments' legal duty to consult First
Nations on matters that impact their rights or title.'

Are natives the only ones in Canada that have any "rights" left when it comes to taxation?
Anyone else notice that they seem to be the only ones who get away with using illegal
blockades and firearms to back their demands?

NO ONE other than Business wants the HST in BC or Ontario, but because of threats like
this, you'll see the federal government give natives tax exemptions again. Maybe we've
got something to learn from the militant natives, Canadians?

Relationship with Canada is 'broken': Leader

Canwest News Service - December 9, 2009

A looming conflict with native communities over harmonized sales taxes in Ontario and
British Columbia is the product of a "broken" relationship between Canada and First
Nations, says the head of the country's most prominent native organization.

Ontario native chiefs say they are about to launch a campaign against the HST, including
road blockades and traffic disruptions and unspecified legal action. B.C. First Nations
are also considering options to fight the tax on their turf.

Ontario and B.C. native leaders say imposing the tax without consulting natives is an
attack on their sovereignty and a breach of governments' legal duty to consult First
Nations on matters that impact their rights or title.

Assembly of First Nations Chief Shawn Atleo said the brewing controversy is another
example of the tattered relationship between natives and Canada. "This is part of a deep
misunderstanding that pervades our society overall and we have to reconcile between First
Nations government and the Crown," said Atleo.

"Something is wrong and broken, it is time we changed the relationship between First
Nations and Canada."

A draft resolution by Ontario chiefs, obtained by Canwest News Service, called on the AFN
to "support and participate in any action plans or direct action strategies by First
Nations that oppose the HST."

Angus Toulouse, Ontario regional chief for the AFN, said plans are in place in Ontario to
fight the HST.

"The options are really direct action because government is not wanting to sit down with
the First Nations leadership," said Toulouse.

Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs president Stewart Phillip said chiefs here are still
discussing their options

"In the event that there is a direct action campaign being planned and organized you can
rest assured that B.C. will follow suit."

Good for them, as the rest of the sheep in Canada got no balls to do
anything worth while...

Nevermind my personal opinion on the HST, someone needs to explain to me
why we need to consult the natives about an issue of taxation. They do
not pay taxes on their reserves. Yet, they benefit greatly from
government money generated through taxation. When they are ready to
start paying taxes I will be ready to listen to their input.

Maybe the natives should sell citizenship and let people move onto the
reserve. Tax free of course.

Extremely well said.
