Justin Trudeau meets with hunger striking chief Theresa Spence
OTTAWA — Like many Canadians, Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence spent a quiet Christmas morning with her family, opening presents with two of her five daughters.
But far from her home on James Bay, Spence entered the third week of a hunger strike Tuesday, an action she says won’t end until Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Gov. Gen. David Johnston agree to sit down and talk about Canada’s treaty relationship with First Nations leadership.
She did have a visitor on Boxing Day, however, Liberal Leadership hopeful Justin Trudeau came by to meet with the First Nations leader.
“It was deeply moving to meet [Theresa Spence] today. She is willing to sacrifice everything for her people. She shouldn’t have to,” Trudeau wrote on twitter.

A nearly two-week long First Nation blockade of a railway line in Sarnia, Ont., was being dismantled Wednesday night
He will be so disappointed.
From their website:
''The Citizens of Aamjiwnaang First Nation wish to extend a warm invitation to you and welcome you to our community.''
I’m planning a Casino trip shortly so I could take Nu there to meet with the First Nations people.
It is interesting that he talks about laws. He believes that a country is defined by it’s ‘rule of law’. Well I guess he can’t have any complaints then about the 400 decrees and regulations. Because based only on his premise….the law, is the law, is the law, that's all that needs to be known.
The signed James Bay Treaty rule of the law starts at around the 16 minute mark.
It's best to get the real $$$ facts starting at about the 19 minute mark of the video.
The James Bay Treaty of over a hundred years ago was a scam. At the time many Natives couldn’t even speak English. It was like taking candy from a baby. Do you know what deal the government gave them?………4 dollars a year….per Native. After that the governments broke the treaty. So why should the Native people keep an agreement that was broken first by the government?
Do you know how many treaties made by governments in N. America were kept with the Native people?..........None.
Your concept of laws are based on ‘authorities’ making laws which benefit them and convincing people who were at the time ignorant of many things, to just do as they were told, or sign a paper that was at best convoluted. It would be like some shyster selling grandma and grandpa inferior siding or poor pavement for their driveway, only later to find out that they were cheated. Of course grandma and grandpa could take the company to court…..and fight …..which is exactly what the Native people are doing. The difference is…..grandma and grandpa are fighting a company and the judge is looking at the whole situation in a balanced perspective. The First Nations people however are fighting those who make the laws and the judges are on their side. Or let me put it to you and Levant another way…..it would be like Levant taking the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei to court to fight against the 400 decrees and regulations.
if you want to hear the true facts the Sun is where to go.
Oh please!! It’s a bigoted sensationalistic news ‘rag’ that is below the IQ level of the National Enquirer and the only people who take it seriously still wear their Flash Gordon secret code ring.
Seems the guy in the hospital dozed off.
Not dozed off.....He’s comatose.
Levant's nonsensical half-truth rants would damage anyone's brain.
i believe the bands should be held accountable for the funds they are allotted
They are all audited. Did you watch the four part discussion that I posted previously in one of these Native threads? It is explained in there (I forget which specific part).
LOL....your evidence for 'facts' is Levant? Please!.....I'd believe George W Bush first over Levant.....and that's saying a lot!!!
Seriously valve........please watch the videos and learn.
If you ever hear of Levant coming to SW Ontario......let me know.
