Anyway, the racism is pretty sad. Racist prairie hicks come off no different than racist rednecks.
However, I don't agree with the free university, and exemption of taxes for Natives. Shit happened a LONG time ago - get over it. So they lost 'their' land, and that sucks... but colonization is a bitch and that's the shitty part about losing any war. It doesn't mean you should not have to pay taxes on an mp3 player like two hundred years later.

I used to live at Bathurst and Richmond! I know that spot very well. They never bugged me, though.
I see your point about the taxes, however I still think they should be entitled to some perks for having their country raped out from under them. I think, we owe the Japanese as well for what we did to them during WWII, IMO.
And Chimp, that's fucking awful. I hope you didn't run it over on purpose.
