just wondering what the hell harper is doing? if anything

[Natalka]

The four women from Saskatoon who started this all with emails to each other last fall, then went on FB, thought this would be just a grassroots movement, not involving chiefs. They say Spence does not represent the movement.

Thanks for the link Andit. I noticed some of the comments on that page are calling for the RCMP to investigate.

Andit, you beat me to posting that.

Interestingly, the report's release coincides with today - for the first time - Spence barring media from her compound.

Good read here as well -

^^^Wow, she's sure acting like she has something to hid. If I lived there I would be embarrassed by her and ashamed.

[Natalka]

Saw that report last night - sure, there's lots to hide, but then it makes me think - what the heck was she thinking, putting herself out there doing this and drawing attention to herself?

Wondering if Trudeau and Martin are still 'inspired' by her?

[erin9mmm]

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe she never thought it would go this far and that she would be under the magnifying glass.

Honest answer?

I think it is because media normally prefers to ignore the truth when it comes to politically correct stories and the chief was counting on that.

However this time even they cannot ignore the deplorable situation, won't make a hero out of a poster child for tragic incompetence and probably understand now that dropping even more cash on this situation will just intensify the problem.

She pulled out of the meeting.

Yeah historically you can't say anything about them because then it's racist. I am wondering now if the public will get a glimpse of the accounting of more monies that have been pouring into the reserves for all these years. If I had that kind of money I could build a small city. Just saying.

My DH lived in Timmins growing up he saw all kinds of stuff pouring into this reserve among others up there. They were the airport to the north.

Apparently she has made out a will and is preparing to die.
