Stupider and stupider

Now the mayor elect of Hearst, Ontario, won't take the oath of office because he would have to swear allegiance to The Queen.  Wouldn't you know it, he's a native and therefore blames everything that has ever happened to any native anywhere in Canada on Her Majesty.

Well, of course he does.  Frankly, Hearst would be better off without this guy as mayor because there are a lot of municipal affairs stuff that is tied to the monarchy, which he would have to avoid.  Geez, he wouldn't even be able to walk into a Royal Bank!  Or how about the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce!?  Another land mine!  And for Gawd's sake, don't enter the Royal Canadian Legion for a nip or two!  A frightening trigger for sure! 

So that's the first "stupider".  But the next is even "stupider".  Apparently, the hapless Andrew Scheer actually addressed a gathering of the Assembly of First Nations the other day without a platform.  Without a platform!  He actually stood up there and told a questioner he'd have to wait until the Conservatives put his native platform together to find out where his position lay and what he would do as PM on the Indian file.  I'm not kidding, that is what he did! 

OMG!  It's not as if he had accidentally bumped into a native leader on the street and was caught off guard.  No, he decided to go to the meeting, stand at a podium and say, "I' don't know what I'll do if I am PM."  Duh!  This guy is going to be defeated for sure.  And on that file, nothing will change.  Harper tried reconciliation by having a smudging ceremony in the House of Commons to grovel and apologize to the natives.  Didn't work.  Then Trudeau comes into power, promising to focus on native issues -- even splits the department in two to make it "better" -- and still the natives aren't happy.  They want to know how Scheer will do better than Trudeau and Harper to solve their "issues". 

Here's a bulletin:  The natives will never be satisfied.  Never, ever, ever.  No matter how much money we throw at them, they will never, ever, ever, ever be content to get on with their lives.  Know why?  Because they don't have to.  So good luck with that.
