Land claims, get your red hot land claims here.
Caledonia has been spoken for. Crown land in Ottawa’s Green Belt has been spoken for. And now a windfarm near Shelburne has been spoken for.
The Six Nations Confederacy is interfering with the development of a wind farm on land owned by Canadian Hydro and says both the land and the wind that passes over it are the rightful property of Aboriginal Peoples.
When someone starts claiming the wind that goes over land in a land claim, I have to draw the line. That would be a wind claim and falls under a completely different legal claim.
I am very familiar with wind claims because I eat a lot of broccoli. When I let one rip in the car and my wife and kids start gasping for breath, I don’t hide the fact the air they are breathing is mine. I proudly pipe up (no pun intended) and tell them: “That was me.” Because I am proud of the wind I break.
Natives claiming Mother Nature’s farts are theirs just sounds moronic. What’s next? The gas in tanks under filling stations? The electricity produced at Churchill or Niagara Falls?
Raskolnikov over at DustMyBroom calls the land claimers out with the precision of a veteran lawyer.
If they own the wind, does that mean non-Indians can sue them the next time a big gust takes down a tree and it goes through someone’s roof or car?
I think all those people who own cottages up in Muskoka could probably get back all that money taxpayers put into Indian Affairs after that storm that blew through a week or so ago.

Could they take over some of the cost of cleaning up that air too?

Hey, you can try to reason with a cat… for all the good it will do you. I just wanna know who paid for spokeswarrior Doreen Silversmith to got to Geneva to present the case for Caledonia to the United Nations.
Dalton, was that you, you bad boy? It sure smells like something you’d do.

Core, you are starting to sound like a lefty. If I didn’t know better I would think you are getting some Indian Affairs dough for lobbying.
Have you been hanging out with Meaghan Walker Williams lately or something?

One of the native bands outside of Victoria, the Tsawout Nation, called the RCMP and demanded they arrest sports fishermen who were (you guessed it!) fishing in the ocean just off their reserve. According to the complainant, they were stealing the fish from the reserve. Strangely enough, no-one got arrested.
