More Native (missplaced) Wisdom

Recently, Colin Craig, the Prairie Director of The Canadian Taxpayers Federation received a letter in regard's to the Enoch Cree Nation in Northern Alta., sent from someone from the Enoch reserve out of "pure frustration". From a pop. of ONLY 1700, Chief and band council, on average, receive a salary of, get this, $130,000, that's tax free. For someone who pays tax, and all of us do except the deemed superior ones in Canada, that would be $190,000. The Chief (thief) Ron Morin was paid, after all his perks and honourariums billed the gov't (us) for $270,000. Everyone else on the reserve who are not part of the "in crowd" or the few "priveledged ones", live in squalor. To top this all off, the wise brain trust (band council) is PROTESTING the Northern Gateway Pipeline. After all, there IS Oil and Gas production presently ON the reserve. What?? They are protesting gov't actions and "poo-pooing" private industry that through jobs would give the Aboriginals lifeblood. Hypocrisy at it's finest. The NDP use this line of thinking quite regularly. A HUGE change in priorities is warranted here. This too, is about Democratic accountability and transparency from Band Council, to their own members.
