Land claims, get your red hot land claims here.<\/p>\n

Caledonia<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n

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\u2019s roof or car?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
