And an $8,400 chartered plane to the Toronto Islands isn’t something that would easily stick in your memory [about mid-way through the article].

Friday Update
Check out Ontario Newswatch for a variety of links on this crisis (under Top News Story).
NDP accuses Ottawa of ‘punishing’ Attawapiskat – CTV:
CTV’s Daniele Hamamdijian has reported that along with squalor and poverty, the Attawapiskat community recently purchased a new Zamboni for cleaning hockey ice. Hamamdijian also reported some questionable travel expenses amassed by the community’s leadership.
She also reported that the reserve’s co-manager, who is supposed to monitor how government funds are spent, is the common-law partner of the chief.
Daniele has also tweeted the following:
Chief says, so what if her common-law husband = co-manager representing the gov?not conflict of interest.Ur thoughts?
Political correctness caused Attawapiskat - Lorne Gunter:
Why are aboriginal squatters still permitted to occupy a subdivision in Caledonia, Ont., for instance? It’s not because they bought the land themselves. Instead it was purchased for them by politically correct politicians afraid to be labelled racist if they forcefully evicted the occupiers. Better just to spend millions to make the situation disappear from view.
John Ivison has another great column - Attawapiskat’s hardships could be helped by roads:
But more prosaic options should also be explored, namely road-building. Most of the real basket-case reserves have one thing in common — no permanent road transportation link. Cree communities on the Quebec side of James Bay fare much better, in large part because they have road links. Quebec Premier Jean Charest unveiled an ambitious plan to open up the northern part of his province to mining, energy and logging industries earlier this year. A large part of the Plan Nord is the allocation of $800-million for new road development.
There is no similar plan for northern Ontario, which is, as far as Dalton McGuinty’s Liberals are concerned, is a far away land of which they know little.
I was wondering how natives had survived in Attawapiskat prior to Canadian Government (i.e. taxpaper) intervention. According to Wikipedia, Attawapiskat been only a seasonal camp until the latter half of the 20th century. And yet they don’t want to move from ‘their land’ – even though it’s an untenable situation?
I don’t get it.
When :
”…the acting band manager racked up $68,000 in travel expenses in just two months…’
perhaps a mere $8400 is easy to forget.
Or maybe the cost of that flight pales in comparison to tha annual cost of hunters : ‘ferried to hunting camp by helicopter’

Good point! And thanks for posting that link to Ivison’s column. He’s been doing a terrific job on this file.
Over the past 2 years, Ivison has become one of the best ‘whole story’ journalists in our msm.
And not always to the conservative bend.
There was a day when he wrote like the rest,
like quibbling about PMSH stealing Dion’s 4 pillar slogan….
Ivison has left the consensus media behind.
For God’s sake, where has blowbag Angus parked his brain? He thinks the government should allow the people up there to manage on their own without government people there to oversee where the money is going? After all is it not the job of government to be accountable to all taxpayers, where this money comes from?
Maybe when houses are built and equipped they should appoint people to inspect them to ensure they’re properly maintained and/or offer a course in the basic care needed to keep a house in order. It wouldn’t hurt to show some respect for the millions to billions spent from our coffers on such stuff as well. It seems to me to be an easy come easy go attitude gone amok.
Replace the condemned house one last time and leave the tribe on it’s own. They want to maintain their traditional ways , that’s good, see ya.
And about those audits……
where has the profit from the $325 million in contracts with DeBeers gone?
And how about those 100 or so Natives who work for DeBeers, fly into the mining camp every 2 weeks…..and then back home to mold and frostbite? Yah right, as if…
http://www2.macleans.ca/2011/12/01/diamonds-and-squalor-up-on-james-bay/
p.s. Charlie Angus not telling Parliament the whole story. shame.
And what about the Zamboni as an ‘education expense’? Only if it’s a hockey school.
Charlie Angus is going to look bad at the end of this but the media Party will not hold him to account.
He got away scott free over the accusations of Clement changing the hansard!
Isn’t it funny,that the cbc’s Adrienne Arse-ho*e has been on-reserve for days….and she HASN’T found the big arena,or the Zamboni yet? Quick,someone point it out to her,as I think she must have gone blind!!!
In the back ground of some of the ‘shack shots’, there appeared to be some decent housing.
Wonder who drove that $80k Escalade that kept appearing in the shots?
Wilson,I also noticed all the canoes left lying all over.Guess they just let them rot..and we get to buy them new ones in the spring!
Not enough room on the helicopter for the canoes and the cooler.
They coulda loaded them on the floats of a float plane Wilson! Gee maybe they don’t have one of those..maybe we could buy them one for Christmas???
Somewhere there’s a photo of a Innuit village in spring, complete with Skidoos sitting on the rotting ice. The locals all knew the gov’t would come across with new ones in the fall.
An arena and a zamboni would be hard to miss in a small Native commune full of the much talked about run down shacks/ tents etc.
Makes yah wonder why the locals didn’t ‘occupy’ the sports arena or healing village or the numerous other buildings with running water and electricity, (and a dozen portapotties).
Why did the media and Charlie Angus and Bob Rae leave us with the impression there were no services working?
Because it didn’t fit their agenda to embarrass the Conservative government, more dirty political games which is about all the NDP and Liberals have to do at this point.
Sammy,
CBC found the Zamboni!!!!!!
They were please to find it in a dry sheltered place, with running water and electricity!!!
Sadly, it will be parked elsewhere, because the Govt is moving human beings into the building……
”…..An emergency management plan has been invoked for Attawapiskat, said Duncan, which will allow the use of a healing centre, sportsplex and other buildings to house people in need.
“What we have determined is that there is adequate clean, dry available shelter with running water and electricity available in the community… We want to see [people housed] as soon as possible. There is no reason why it can’t happen today,” said Duncan…..”
p.s. there is NO reason this couldn’t have happened months ago.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2011/12/01/attawapiskat-thursday.html
Yay! Adrienne must have been faith-healed and got her eyesight back!! Now,I demand she put a video tour,and a cost analysis of said arena/zamboni up!!
I want to see an audit of all those DeBeers 100′s of millions the ‘community’ was supposed to get, and by the looks of things, didn’t.
Ezra will be ‘fine-tooth combing’ the Band audits tonite! This should be great TV!!BTW,Carole McNeil just doing interview with a local band ‘activist’ Greg Shesheesh.He is questioning why DeBeers GAVE the band $13.5 MILLION,and that acc’t now MISSING over $5MIL! He said no one was to touch any of that money,without a band-referendum.He also states that the people have been denied a vote to get rid of band management,and that important mtgs are being held ‘down south’ and locals are shut out! Hmm,wonder if cbc will put up the audio tape of that ph.interview??
Ezra will be ‘fine-tooth combing’ the Band audits tonite!
Thanks for the heads-up Wilson. Must check that out for sure!
Sammy, Isn’t wonderful having Sun TV back on Bell?
AMEN Fay!!!!!!!
Double Amen – though I might still switch when I get around to it because of the delay.
CBC has no business questioning anyone on anything whatsoever until they reveal the books.
Not certain if it this reserve , but could be … who owns a condo in downtown Toronto for umm … recreational activities.
Check out our own Manitoba scandal of few yrs back at the Virginia Fontaine Treatment Centre, (Fay will remember this) at:
http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/Health/20040318/drug_centre_040318/
A relative of Grand Chief Phil Fontaine ,rec’d $1.2 Mil.for ‘vacation pay and perks’ over a 29 mo.period. His wife spent $153,064 on jewellery from Mar-July! Nice damn work if you can get it!
I bet there are 100+ stories just like it Sammy.
here’s another one:
‘…Now, you may have never heard of the Glooscap First Nation reserve in Nova Scotia but you might be interested to know that one Mi’kmaq politician there pulled in almost $1 million in pay in 2010, while band councillors each earned between $210,000 and $260,000.
Now, close your eyes and try to envision just how big the Glooscap First Nation must be to warrant such mammoth salaries.
Give up? Well, in 2009, the population actually living on the reserve was 87.
We didn’t drop any zeroes….’
http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/sunnews/opinions/archives/2011/11/20111128-075820.html
It’s clear to see why the Native Chiefs didn’t want their bands under the scrutiny of the Federal Accountability Act 2006,
but why did the NDP and the LPC appease them in forcing their exclusion?
Previous Liberal governments knew this was going on and stood behind the Chiefs.
This falls onto a Harper majority to fix.
Joanne and others- go to bcblue right now and check out the sob story
Almost makes ya want to hurl.
Link here.
Ian Chapstick has paid BC Blue a visit.
And……speaking of Phil Fontaine,there he is now on cbc! Said he was ‘up there in 2004!’..to check up on the agreement with the mining company.And,according to Phil,it’s NOT about mismanagement of funds (cough cough)…of course it isn’t.
So Andrew Coyne is going back to the Post.
In that case I’m saying goodbye to my daily Post. I’ll settle for the free online version.
Just hope this government puts an end to the outrageous amounts of money going to Natives, their Band Leaders and Chiefs without demanding it be accounted for. Neither the Natives or the Canadian taxpayers are getting value for the money, there’s something very wrong.
This latest episode at Attawapiskat could be the last straw that spurs action that will put an end to this disgrace once and for all.
Get yer coffee made…and get ready to settle in for some hard truths..Ezra up next! Then wait for the howls of ‘racism!!’
If by any chance that I look up the newspapers archives (2004) or ealier of that region on the Attawapiskat situation; do you think I find it. Or, a story headlining ” fed government has given $90million” for clean water, housing, etc; or, ‘the bands misuses the taxpayers’ money on themselves and on other frivolous items?”
Don’t miss Ezra Levant tonight!
When I lived up north, any charter flight like this was just a booze run with a fake reason made up to get Ottawa to pay for it.
I lived near a village most of my life they went to school with us there so lazy the first nations where i lived they would chop there house up for fire wood then complain to the government to fix it. problem with the NDP is they like keeping the first nations on reserves and on welfare. so that they can control them. when you have the conservatives who came out in 2004 and even the Canadian Alliance at the time saying we have to help them bye getting them off the reserves so they can learn how to run government. the NDP and the news mediafcalled the ca racist saying that the first nations were stupid and couldn’t do it them selves and some of there words were shame on U Ca people your all racist. I also remember mr white ted white wanting to re-evaluate the charter of rites which would have benefited this stuff. and the si called hiddeb agenda the liberals use to say. well the hidden agenda for the NDP was to keep the first nations on welfare and reserves.
they would chop there house up for fire wood then complain to the government to fix it.
That ain’t no word of a lie. My brother used to hall mobile homes for a living. He delivered numerous homes to numerous reservations and yeah that’s what he witnessed. He’d deliver a new beautiful home one year,two years later he’d deliver another home to replace the one that had been chopped up for firewood.
sorry about the spelling errors I just a dumb logger and make mistakes in typing
as long as we can read it Roy, we don’t care about the typing.
A few years back a woman hobbled into church on crutches and asked the church if they would help her fix some holes in the walls of her house. She went on to say that her relatives had a wild party one night and they trashed her house. Her house is owned by the Metis Association and they told her to fix the house or move out. I went to the house only to find it full of very healthy young men. It turned out that these young men were the one’s that had trashed the house. I gently suggested that the dear woman teach her family a lesson and get them to repair the damage. She then went off on a tirade about getting her chief involved etc etc etc. I left the house and never heard from the woman again. I have no idea where she got the idea that it was someone else`s responsibility to repair her house when the one`s who damaged it are still living in it.
Cotler says
“You can’t engage in this pernicious dissemination of false and misleading and prejudicial information about a member because it’s a breach of privilege,” he said.
(re: telemarket calls implying he is resigning)
That sounds very much like what Minister Clement said about Charlie Angus accusing him of altering Hansard.
Only, imo, Charlie’s accusation, made in a televised news conference, is by far a more harmful ‘false statement’.
And what about the ‘nasty opinions’ or rumours the media spreads, in writing, read by hundreds of people?
What about the media attacks on Sun NN- Fox News North, before the station was even aired?
Did the CPC go too far in a tele-poll saying Cotler ‘might’ retire?
How many times have we read about MPs conspiring to replace PMSH, or articles with a list of his replacement …..
So is it free speech, even if we don’t like it?
O/T,but poor Dizzie Lizzie is at her wits end over the Climate CRISIS! She tweeted: “Conservatives actually laughing and applauding their Fossil of the Day Awards.I want to weep”…….awwwwww,poor Liz.Good Lord,if this makes her weep.She better buck-up and get her big girl panties on!
Well well well..this is a surprise! Check out G&M article,”Quebec $7 a day daycare program facing corruption probe!” I am stunned I tell ‘ya………….and aren’t WE in the rest of Canada paying for this?
No, but we in the West of Canada are.
Well Joe,I sure hope it isn’t ‘dirty money’ from those dirty oilsands!!! Wouldn’t want that filth going into clean Quebec now would we? BTW,my boy works in those oilsands and is managing to support his family very well.And Momma is very proud of him!
And so you should be!
I see the provincial LibDippers are piling on with their federal brothers to attack PMSH for calling in 3rd party management to the reserve.
Well, they better get their low kicks in now,
because on January 24th PMSH goes head to head with ‘a delegation of aboriginal leaders to discuss ways the government can improve the social and economic lot of remote reserves’.
PMSH will get this done, he’s been trying to improve Aboriginal’s lives since 2006.
I think this will be one of PMSHs legacy issues for the history books.
I didn’t even see this wilson before commenting but you are the heart of this thread today! Great posts, links and…Thank you!
I agree with everything that you have said and the PM will not drop the ball on this file. He is offended (my opinion) by the waste despite respecting and honoring the culture…..but enough is enough and Charlie Angus and the NDP look like a bunch of enablers. Sometimes they should just be quiet because then, they don’t expose their hypocricy. This one really takes the cake!
Yessirree, this is what socialism looks like. Generations of handouts, controlled by the generations of corruption at the top and you have people that know nothing else.
They have no self taught skills, no motivation, isolation the gives them no knowledge and it’s all requested.
I am again very proud of our PM who took this bull by the horn and with luck will start unravelling and exposing the garbage that is going on all across this country.
If these people knew what could be, this would all be gone from our collective memory. Until the brainwashing and BS stops, it won’t but if it is exposed in this case, perhaps we can systematically expose the entire mess of corruption in so many first nations.
Ezra spelled it out well, sure hope Angus and company got to hear it, he gave it to them good.
Congrats BC Blue, such a great comment board. And wilson, you make us all better.
thanks Bec and Susaan, wish I knew how to insert a blushing smiley face ….
When the PM gets to the bottom of this mess he should take with him a few of his aboriginal mps and put them to handle some of the tasks.
Jealousy, jealousy of the Conservatives is widespread. Guess that’s what happens when the opposition is unable to pin anything on the ruling Conservative government. – that they cannot find legitimate fault. Conservative government: the best is yet to come!!
Great to be able to come here and read up on the latest news whenever possible. – and get the revelations that are omitted so frequently by our mediocre media.
Charlie Angus accuses the PM for not doing anything for the people at the reserve. When the PM made the comment that he plans to send a ‘third party management’ to investigate’, Charlie Angus didn’t like the idea.
Now why is that Charlie, are you not interested why your people are not being treated properly or is it you like it the way it is. Too BAD.
Did anyone else watch CTV news with lisa La Flamme tonight? Apparently the co manager the band hired to over see the budget is none other than Chief Spence’s common law husband.
Bravo CTV… you trumped CBC big time tonight.
I was half asleep but I saw that too. Kudos to CTV for sure!
That this sort of stuff has been going on as long as most of us can remember makes one wonder if they really want it that way to use as political fodder.
It appears Angus who shouts and fusses really isn’t serious when he rails against the PM for sending in third party management.
Gotta wonder who is taking who for fools?
Just watched the morn.’update’ from cbc’s Adrienne Arse-#@*^ direct from Attawapiskat.Gee guess what,not a word about the Chief’s common-law boyfriend being the co-manager!!Funny isn’t it,that the cbc thinks they need us to fund them,so we can get all the news..yet,they REFUSE to report the real story.They are too busy today trying to hang Def.Min McKay.I noticed last nite,that when Dannielle tried to question the Chief on the conflict of interest with her boyfriend,she got quite upset.Hmmm,wonder why Charlie Angus didn’t know that little tidbit.
Saw Carolyn Bennet on cpac last nite too,and the nonsense she was spewing about how if PMSH hadn’t ‘torn up the Kelowna Accord’ all this would have been fixed! BTW,does anyone else find her over-the-top hand gestures distracting? I tuned out most of what she was saying as I was too busy trying to figure out what all the hand-waving was all about!
Doc Bennett’s hand waving means about as much as what comes out of her mouth, it’s all annoying and off the wall. Her red rimmed glasses make her a true comedy figure, no one could possibly take her seriously.
Is she the critic for Native affairs or something? She abandoned all credibility with me on these issues with her unfortunate comments on body bags for natives a few seasons ago, and this was on a health concern. She appears manic, almost hysterically partisan, while commenting on TV. I suspect Liberals could come up with a better spokesperson than Bennet.
Martin,you are so right! I had forgotten about that HUGE gaffe that she had to apologize for.
Liz,you are right !! Include the stammering,and all the ‘uh uh uh’s’ coming out of her mouth and it’s all a mess! One would think,that a long-term politician like her,would have developed much better communication skills.I just find her highly annoying.
I challenge Sun news to get Emails that CBC use to communicate
fh
Liz J:
Doc Bennet appears comical because her glasses are the same as the ones worn by Milhouse on the Simpsons.
If this reserve has always been part of Charlie Angus’s riding, how come he is only now making a fuss about it. It sounds to me like this mess has been going on for years, so perhaps someone should ask him how many times he has been there in the last five years and why he didn’t raise the issue before.
Ezra Levant called Angus out,
BC Blue has the video : (patience with the video loading)
http://bcblue.wordpress.com/2011/12/01/ezra-levant-ndp-mp-charlie-angus-youre-lying/
I don’t see why Charlie Angus is so upset that the PM plans to send a ‘third party’ to investigate; he should instead feel elated that, finally someone will tackle the issues which have deprived the natives themselves. Or is he just content the way the natives live, in poverty and without working.
I find rather insulting as a taxpayer that the bands(some) take our hard earned money to give to natives who are not interested of working but want everthing free and without paying taxes.
I hope that the bands with the federal gov put an end to the abuse of our money and work efficiently with pride and respect the taxpayers who gives them money for their needs.
As frmgrl(I think) mentioned about the mobile homes frequently being delivered at the reservation because the previous ones were chopped for wood has to be investigated that is if it still continuing.
BTW, frmgrl, do you by any chance have reports or newspaper clippings or website on that very subject.
Charlie Angus may be upset because having a sort of watchdog in there to account for the money, make sure it goes where its supposed to go, would take away his little game of trying to make the government look bad and blame them for a mess created by those who profess to take care of the “business” in that place.
Another thing they count on is the leftists and politically correct media who cannot spell out the truth. Not so with Levant, he is not politically correct, just correct, spelling out the hard truth.
BTW, frmgrl, do you by any chance have reports or newspaper clippings or website on that very subject.
No,just what my brother told me. Wish I did though.
Jad, how many bills brought in by the gov for the aboriginals were voted down by the NDPQ?
The ndpq are not supporters of anyone particularly those who work hard and have minds of their own. It sort of terrifies them that anyone who thinks instead of depending on them, imo, is a threat. They want to control you it makes them feel suprior.
Their daily mantra is to bellow that there are: no jobs; no food; the poor this or that and yet you see Megan Leslie go off to Washington to lobby against the Keystone Pipeline and the oilsands, that will create jobs. Why would she do such a thing then complain that there are no jobs?
Gloria Galloway writes that the Jan 24 meeting will be the first official meeting with First Nations for PMSH since he was elected.
So PMSHs residential school apology in 2008, in Parliament with Chief Fontaine was just a chat, not official, eh.
And Dipper leader Ms Nycole daring PMSH to go to Attawapiskat,
yet no MP nor media outlet has called out Chief Shawn Atleo for not having gone there. Those are his people in distress.
If, as the media keeps chirping, there are more reserves in the same condition as Attawapiskat, where are they,
where are the elected MPs from those ridings…
“Political correctness caused Attawapiskat – Lorne Gunter:”.
Lorne said what, Tonto?
Ugh, Kemo Sabay.
“What they need to hear is a prime minister who actually gives a damn whether their people live or die,” Angus said.
http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/sunnews/politics/archives/2011/12/20111201-202909.html
Really Charlie? How many lives did all that sporting equiptment you and Jack sent ‘their’ people, save?
Sounds like Charlie is talking about a lepor colony, not CANDIANS in his riding, eh.
the search and rescue helicopter was presented with a new challenge
when it was picking up Minister of defence Peter McKay money well spent
fh
did I hear correctly when Greg Weston said on CBC tonight that Peter MacKay was the last PC member of Parliament and he wouldn’t get fired. I think there are still a few more former PC’s in the caucus. Sure hope Greg didn’t lie after writing this article……..http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2011/12/02/pol-vp-weston-mackay-fishing.html

http://www.parl.gc.ca/ParlInfo/compilations/parliament/YearsOfService.aspx?Section=&Name=&YearsOfService=&Continuous=False&Current=True
So Greg Weston is WRONG.
6 PC’s, 12 Reformers, 10 Alliance, 139 CPC
As a seasoned journalist he has to be able to research, get the facts, so is he simply wrong or wrong on purpose?
Another case of the facts not fitting an agenda?
thanks Wilson, I was trying to find that list. I knew when Weston came out with that statement that it wasn’t right. Waiting for him to correct that the next time he is on.
and Wilson, some of those CPC’s elected were PC’s before like Dave McKenzie in Oxford. So Mr. Weston’s idea that the PM had to keep MacKay as he was the last remaining MP from the old Conservative Party is dead wrong.
Unbelievable!
I had my 2 year old grandson overnight and am still recuperating from that but look forward to catching up here. Has anyone informed Mr. Weston of his error?
I tried to correct one comment under the story in CBC, and the answer back was MacKay was the only Cabinet Minister. When did Rob Nicholson get demoted….lol.
No use confusing them with facts, I guess.
It’s all on the Gov of Cda website. Took less than 5 minutes to find and sort, there is no excuse for the media reporting inaccurate information.
That is the whole idea Wilson and Joanne, throw the mis information out there let it stew without any correction for the public to believe it then accuse the gov.
Remember Paul Martin’s ‘ Guns in the streets’ , it worked, it scared the public that is why Stephen Harper then, was not elected.
Mark Twain….. A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.
Sad but true.
O/T, It goes to show how empty yet nasty of Elizabeth May, Leslie May Suzuki to take it out on the Oilsands, Canada’s very economy than to other countries that are far far far worse than us
Take a look a this graph of where we stand in…….
this is for the likes of Elizabeth May, Leslie May etc:
Climate Negotiating Positions of Top Emitters
http://www.graphicnews.com/search/search.php?alertno=9243
this shows the rankings of nations that are heavily polluted to the least.
Lizzy May must have wept (again) when she read this:
B.C. First Nation buys ownership stake in Enbridge pipeline
Enbridge Inc.’s $5.5-billion Northern Gateway pipeline project, hammered by criticism from aboriginal and environmental groups this week, got a major backer Friday when the Gitxsan First Nation announced it is taking an ownership stake in the project.
…The Hazelton, B.C.-based First Nation’s announcement, involving a community with a population estimated by Enbridge at 13,000, represents a blow to environmental and aboriginal groups that have vehemently opposed the project….
http://business.financialpost.com/2011/12/02/b-c-first-nation-buys-ownership-stake-in-enbridge-pipeline/
looking at the Gitxsan Territory map,
it represents 1/4 to 1/3 of the territory the Northern Gateway Pipeline is to cross, and perimeter is very close to the West coastline, with 4 rivers with salmon and steelhead runs
Liz May has no shame. She has the nerve to preach to canada about the oilsands emitters when her own birth c ountry USA ranks second- second worst polluted emitters below China, that is number one worst. How dare she criticize our country. IMO, she wants to sell out our country for the worst.
She is an embarassment to Canada…. not the oilsands or Canada.
This is how yah get things done,
by-pass the Chief!
http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/12/03/manitoba-bypasses-chief-in-bid-to-get-flood-evacuees-out-of-hotels/
Link to Rex Murphy’s latest rant at SDA. He’s going to get himself fired from CBC if he doesn’t be careful! Good stuff and right on the mark.
Searching for common sense or even sanity among the climate change freaks who trekked to Durban will be tough.
I just wish that the reporters who plan to be at this Durban thing in Africa ask those people there like Liz May and others. “how did you manage to arrive in Africa and move around here; how are you going to find your way around in Africa? Surely, you came here somehow right. How?”
I would love to see the expression on their faces when they say ” we arrived here by oil fueled plane; driving around africa in a oil and gas fueled car”
Reporter to the person ” how come you didn’t walk” to prove your point that you want to do away with oil and gas?”
when interviewed on CPAC, oilsands hater Liz, told Peter V D. that she was going to take little flags and soveniers to Durban but seeing how embarassing Canada is in re to the gas emission and that we have become a laughing stock; she didn’f feel the need of taking the soveniers that represent canada to Durban.’
Can you believe this ‘piece of work’ she is so embarass of Canada that she lives here uses our money, our electricty our nation to spew her hate.
She plans to be and active role model to the Pacific island showing them what is to be ‘green’. BEWARE Pacific island. she is not a helper she is a destroyer and most likely destroy your island. She HATES HATES anyone that does not follow in her footsteps which frankly ,is not GREEN in one way or the other.
Leave Canada and live with you large emitters USA.
