Do As We Say, Not As We Do

Recently we have heard that the Indian protests are as much about environmental concerns and the paving over of land by these developments, as it is to do with the ownership of the land. And then low and behold in Saturday's paper is a two page spread about the development of a large toy warehouse on the Six Nation's Reserve. One that seems designed to cater to off-reserve residents. Funny how no groups protested or even attempted to stop this development. Does it not pave over land that could be used from farming or just left natural? And it is not just more concrete that seems to so disturb those activists and letter writers? But then it fits in well with the malls, factories, smoke shops, bingo halls, race track (no added pollution there), and of course housing that is constantly being built on the Reserve without complaint. No double standard there. Yeah, right!
