Honesty Lands Energy Company HUGE Bribery Fine  | | | MARK MILKE | | | For Aboriginals, Life Is Better Off-Reserve | | With all the attention paid to the Idle No More movement and the off-again on-again talks between some native chiefs and the Prime Minister, one basic fact about boriginal life in Canada has been forgotten: Most aboriginals do not live on reserve and seem to be better for it. In 2006, on-reserve Indians had a median income of $29,014. In contrast, off-reserve Indians had a median income of $37,477.

Students from a B.C. high school want to shut down a strip club because they say it objectifies women. But therein lies the problem, they clearly forgot to ask the women that work there if they feel they're been objectified.

I've never seen such a passionate group of people go forward in protest in such disarray, and without clearly stating what it's all about.
