Heap big stink now, Iron horses stopped, Pow Wow scheduled, politicians think they can BS their way out of it Ah! well! it should be interesting. If it was me I'd send an old GP down to clear the tracks for the next sched. run.
Glad I'm in a sensible part of the country

Interesting Willis , Here in New York State the Senecas are in a tiff over the state collecting taxes on their land. So they are holding parst of the New Yorrk State Thruway hostage which runs through their lands. Could this be another long awaited uprising ?

Hi Paul, well they ended this one, guess it was getting a bit dicey tempers rising so they ended it 18 hrs before their own deadline. However in answer to your question how about this, they already have their targeted areas picked out. There's an occupation going on in Caledonia Ont. that's being going on for over a year now, the police have lost all credibility and the head of the Provincial police appeard to be heading for the dog house.
Now in the Maritime Provinces no land has been treatied for, so the natives claim it all (ain't that great ) I don't think they want to do anything about it as no one has disputed their claim and it's pretty expensive to run and if they had to pay for the toxic cleanups, well even Glooscap isn't that powerful so we all get along, it's better that way
