The PQ represent all creeds and colors as does every other political organization I know of in this country. Now if your saying they want a party dedicated to First Nations issues just as the Greens are dedicated to saving the world from ourselves, that would be different. But that isn't what I heard yesterday. As a non-native do you think I could join their party if I so choose. Highly unlikely. Just as Anon pointed out I don't think we want to see splinter groups based solely on race in this country, at least I don't. But then again this is a free country and if they want to isolate themselves that is their prerogative. You see how well it worked for the separatists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319042645944598014.post-52269435530916340082011-11-03T14:46:30.096-06:002011-11-03T14:46:30.096-06:00Anon 11:58 - If the PQ can represent only Quebecer...Anon 11:58 - If the PQ can represent only Quebecers and the Sask Party only represents Saskatchewan residents, why couldn't a First Nations Party only represent their own community?Civic Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443710689996286139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319042645944598014.post-13879510559594293172011-11-03T11:58:42.016-06:002011-11-03T11:58:42.016-06:00I have direct experience with several first nation...I have direct experience with several first nations both in the north and the south. Many would love to be able to blame all their ills on outside governments and funding however even when dollars go into upgrading the life on reserve the places are destroyed as they are being built. There are too many reserves currently in third party management. Does anyone in today society believe they could put any credible organization together to form a political party. Who would fund the campaign? SIGA the FSIN this would just be another haven for the chiefs to take money away from their communities. Even the notion they could land 11 seats in the province. Sorry that isn't going to happen. As Anon 10:03 points out I am not even sure they could get party status if it limited its membership to First Nations people only.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319042645944598014.post-81478938256818173562011-11-03T10:03:23.013-06:002011-11-03T10:03:23.013-06:00After the First Nations party is established, I ca...After the First Nations party is established, I can't wait for the Homosexual Party, or the Aryan Party, or the Jewish Party, or the Ukrainian party........<br /><br />Because you know, forming parties based on race is always a good idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319042645944598014.post-58494253944216113892011-11-03T09:35:38.389-06:002011-11-03T09:35:38.389-06:00First Nations Democratic Union Movement.
