But even on the content, it's incredibly interesting to begin to grasp how this element of society views the world.

There's a LOT to unpack. But I think the single most important thing anyone who cares about stopping these people can do, is understand where they're coming from

Any CPC scrutineer who would allow those through is someone I'd definitely want to have a beer with 😂

Or maybe there are other ways to do it through the AFN? Maybe we need to bring them into our political system and allocate House or Senate seats?

Idk, but the current "system of consultation" is both wholly inadequate and also not at all a "system" so like something has to change

Like "meaningful consultation" CANNOT mean the Government has to speak to every individual member of every individual band. There needs to be governance mechanisms for consultation that everyone agrees are legitimate, and I'm wondering if there are like Premier-equivalents who should be at the CoF?

They definitely need a seat; the question is who, and at what table?

We've put a lot of words into "meaningful consultation", but there's been very little political attention paid to building the MECHANISMS to actually do it. And I think that's a First Nations issue just as much as ours tbh

Funny enough, as long as a poll worker can reasonably interpret "Piarre Polyvaire" as "Pierre Poilievre", and the scrutineers agree, the ballot will still count. Discernable intent is the legal name of our ballot-counting game

Idk, I'd bet the Americans would help after they finally also come to the conclusion that refusing would be unthinkable.

Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted

There are still rules. The very fact Russia hasn't used a nuclear weapon means some rules still very much do apply

To be fair, it's hard to take someone's opinion seriously when their handle is something like "yourmom42069"

But yeah in general I'd agree with you
