Interestingly, the federal court FINALLY after twelve years determined that it is discriminatory for the federal government to define Metis and non-status aboriginal as "non-Indians." I still hate how the official term is Indian. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/stor...challenge.html

In other news, Chief Spence is invited to a meeting with Harper but won't go unless the Governor General is there too. Since we're technically still a monarchy, the Governor General acts as a representative of the Queen of England in Canada and is also who treaties deal with. She has made up her will and made sure there is no intervention when she's dying. http://aptn.ca/pages/news/2013/01/09...r-death-aides/

Also, note to self: Read APTN from now on, when racist trolls have shown up, there's already lots of people tearing them down. The comments being liked on CBC are horrifying.
