Oh boy. Native Americans (or "First Nations" or whatever they are called these days) try to hold up tangible economic development based on a fantasy creature. In a sane world, their "issue" would be laughed right off the agenda the same as if a Greek claimed that the mine would disrupt the habitat of Zeus or Apollo. But we don't live in a sane world. We live in a PC world where you would get sent to sensitivity re-education prison if you laugh at a First Nation person. So we have to take this s___t seriously.
I guess you didn’t read the entire excerpt above. Be sure to read the last two lines. You’ll get a laugh.
First Nations’ are a bunch of pampered drunkard natives canucks who get free money from the BC govt and squander it every first wednesday of the month, aka Mardi Gras’. Even when I was in high school in vancouver, they got free land, no tax, free education but the worst villages. However, you marry one, you are set for life receiving at least 2.5K/mo as ‘reparations’ from whitey. We even have an Aboriginals Minister whose sole duty is to be a liberal white-guilt ridden idiot.
