Maple Leafs, eh?

DO HO HO HO HO

I like how the only game they've won so far this season was against a team they have insider information on (hi Brian Burke!), and who were basically criminally incompetent that night. As if that wasn't enough, only three Leafs players really showed up that night anyway, so it's not like you could say that was a solid team effort.

BC Native band petitions the government to remove their Indian status forever in exchange for shorter-term compensation.

Well, I don't know if this is a good idea or not (or if it can even work), but I'm glad someone's trying it so that we can finally debate the possibilities.

My initial reaction is that may be feasible, but only if you actually had true unanimity. I mean everyone in a given tribe would have to agree before they could be stripped of status. If they can do it piecemeal, on an individual basis, or by a high-margin referendum this might get somewhere, but I don't think the legitimacy of the hereditary chiefs is going to be enough. Regardless of any real-world pros or cons, on paper there's too much of a danger of disenfranchising the unwilling minority.

So he's our Joe Apario, without the focused hatred of minorities.

... or any semblance of professionalism.

So Elizabeth May had tea-time at the alternative cafe at the U of O the other day and was talking about many things including her plans to run at the Saanich Gulf Islands riding. 

She doesn't seem to have considered the intricacies of Vancouver Island (specifically Saanich, N Saanich, C Saanich and Sydney) and the Gulf Islands (specifically Saltspring, Mayne, Pender and Galianno, where new developments have overtaken).  Mark my words, she will not win her seat the next election or I will eat my hat.

It wouldn't surprise  me. I wonder what will happen to the green party then? That's 11% of the popular vote they're sitting on.

You can, as long as you have your neighbors on payroll.

You know, before clicking the link I expected this to be a typical case of outdated judicial wackiness, but this is actually a sensible application of a law that was originally intended for this exact purpose. Nice!

This is why you probably shouldn't try to scam lawyers.  They're professionals at it.
