government is gonna have real issues if they plan to treat First Nations in the east like they do here on the west.
The Supreme Court May of gave them a right to a modest living on the east coast but no one in the province is on the First Nation side and they are gonna need 24h RCMP protection if they continue.
absolutely ridiculous. Special rights that apply to only one group only encourages racism, anger and decimation of our stocksYup ^^^^
