What?...you're not going to ahead of yourself? I don't start BMQ until Monday and I've already got Flight of the Valkeries in my head. I'm psyched. Congrats Eli.

Politics for politicians. History for the historians. I have this crazy notion that the Canadian military is the best ally native people have. As long as we put into it, we (everyone) can get something out of it. There might not be any other branch of the gove... There is no other branch of...

Ah, you've seen my work! That was really something else. Those stair cases that cantilever off the back of the building weigh 17t, the one does and the other is 10t. Some big iron in there. Lovely. Ironworkers did all the rigging and hoisting of the large wooden columns at the front and back of...

Best to ya Sinah. Like my father used to say, "What ever gets me the hell outta Sudbury, eh!"

When I'm King of the Indians I'm going to tell the kids; work, school, military or banishment. They can run to Council only to find that I have dissolved it. They will no doubt then run to their mothers only to find they are either working, schoolin' or soldiering. Then they will stop running...

This is an issue that hits me close to home. I want my children to know that there is a better life then one of drug abuse and self resentment. This issue has some play in my decision to join the Forces and contribute to everything positive about Canadian society at the same time contribute to...

My part of the world is Ojibway country, we attained our land base by forcibly removing the Lakota people. It wasn't pretty. We made no deals with them , made them no promises or treaties. We just took it. As long as I live and breed here, I assume the responsibilty. Heck, I'm proud. If Lakota...
