Meechance douche bags at it again..illegal outfitting

What race card? I'm pretty sure the jist of my post is including the idea that if there is penalty imposed upon them, it should be enforced.



You missed a whole bunch of parts, BTW. Those ones are important, also. And irrelevant to my point/assertion that the justice system is also failing miserably here, in doing anything but preserving it's function and longevity. It is very good at that, but it would seem that most Canadians fail to criticize it.

But forget all that for a second, and take a real life example, that happened this week.

There is a small group of people I am with. Many are family. To have the sovereignty to be able to do what is suggested in the OP, is a goal we have been trying to reach, for years, decades, actually. So this past weekend, one of us was coming into Canada, from the USA, with his tractor in tow, to help us work on erecting a ceremonial lodge, for traditional purposes. CBSA saw fit to deny him entry to Canada, since he was coming up to "work". The tractor was denied entry, also. For our safety (It is brand new). We don't get paid for what we do. We do it for our community. We want to drive the drugs, alcohol, and disorder out. We are tired of that, and have been for years. The same treaty excerpted above notes who is supposed to "strictly enforce" that (no intoxicants on reserves). Since that party has failed to do their part, we are trying to do that. Traditionally; as was done before. We are striving for that sovereignty to be able to control these matters. Somehow, the fact that we wish to work together to achieve this goal must be some threat, to Canada. So a planned "work bee", like so many other communities enjoy, and find productive in overall goals, was squashed (temporarily). We are trying to get there; we do not take funds from anywhere to do this. Yet it seems that it is not allowed to pool our private resources that we have, to get to this goal. Trying to do exactly what the OP suggests Red Pheasant should do.

But Red Pheasant should take care of these individuals? Did I get that right?

Your friend was simply treated like anyone else would have been in the same situation.

The real bummer is that these gooves (that's the plural of goof) are ruining the reputation of the many good people that live on Red Pheasant. I've lived in the North long enough to know that despite the bad actors, there are always good people who are sick to #### of having their reputation destroyed by jackasses. let's lay the blame where it lies rather than getting out the big brush and tar.

Red Pheasant has been sketchy for a long time. Ochapowaas way east, up the Que'Appelle River Valley, has had a pretty decent reputation IIRC.

I worked in a community that had a terrible reputation (I grew up an hour down the road). But after two years there I had great relationships with many of the people. n the whole the bad actors were no worse than anywhere else I've worked.

A reputation is a tricky thing.
