Eclectic Tastes

Buffy Sainte-Marie has been a great spokesperson

 for First Nations peoples for decades now.

The 'Idle No More' movement here in Canada

is getting a lot of attention lately. And rightly so.

The plight of indigenous people in Canada has been

desperate for so long that I am ashamed that our 

governments, now and in the past (both Conservative

and Liberal), consistently decide to 'turn a blind eye'

and choose to provide 'lip service' only.

I think the time has come that it is no longer acceptable

to watch young kids take their lives because 

they cannot see any good reason to live because of the 

desperate living conditions around them.
