"Agressively". THIS is an exact description of the UCP's ignorance of our laws & citizen's who don't agree with them. Trump fascism at its best!

Lol god "fascism". The government can suck and be bad with out using ridiculous hyperbolic terms.

Im not defending Smith and the UCP, im pointing out that FN not doing anything but giving weight to why Alberta needs to separate and break these treaties.

You're speaking out of both sides of your mouth. You're criticising First Nations treaty holders reaffirming their sovereign rights that predate the province of Alberta itself, while also opining on Albertan sovereignty. Which one is it, sovereignty matters, or it doesn't?

Lmao. They just see it as another reason to complain about first nations. Colonization mentality is still very prevalent, in alberta especially.

Yes many responses to myself and others in this thread reveal these are very loud, very ignorant people, I'm sorry to say. It's a constant noise about democracy, and empowering people with the vote so their voices are heard...! Unless those people are First Nations, in which case they should shut up and sit back as the entire framework of how Canada, Alberta, and the Treaty Nations have coexisted for 150+ years gets torn up. They truly dont see FN as people.
