I am a Canadian Citizen but am not native. I feel for you all as we are the ones that came and took your land from you. I stand by you 100% against the HST. I feel you deserve a lot more respect than what you are receiving. My prayers are with you.

I agree, when we took all the land from the indians we made certain deals and they were called treaties. So we should keep our word.

As a native canadian i feel they keep picking and not holding up to there end of the deal they promise certain things then they take them away from u not only from natives the goverment fast tracked this new tax and did not take into any consideration to any non native's rights as canadians we all rights and i think we deserve any input that will derectly afect each and evryone of us if the goverment doesnt do something for the natives i can see it getting ugly highway tolls for evryroad that pass on a reseve its just not gonna b nice ..........

I believe as a Native that indirectly the government is saying go back to the reserves. Do not try to be exempt from one tax !

I have native children.I however am not native, I don't AGREE with the HST because they have not told ME what those changes are.I'm more concerned about how this HST affects the Native Status Card. I have gone into grocery store where people say "we don' accept this card".Maybe ignorance, maybe owners of small convnience stores not willing to accept a tax card.I've heard every excuse for NOT accepting a tax card.I drove my child 1200 miles to get her card in person because In was accepted into the family.I will not tolerate anyone saying you cannot use this card here.For the record, I was born in Scotland, where we have issues too, but that is a different story.I have lived and loved with a Native Family, and ave been given a name by an elder.Natives will need to stand up and say "We don't want this HST Bullshit" Give us our discount.In thew 16 years that I have been with an Ojibwa family, I have learned many things.My daughters are future generation natives, they stand proud about who they are,they know where they came from, and most of all they know love.The Government does'nt.Peace Out

My opinion:
Most natives bitching and whining now werent directly affected by "government unjust" (which is bullshit). Canadians pay taxes. Therefore, I dont even consider natives Canadian. They're speckled shit in our country.

How can you expect to just suckle on the teet of society and not give back?
You're like the child who stays at home for all of his life and never gets a job.

That's not really a metaphor actually, that's what all natives are.

This Adam guy must be one hell of a couch potatoe. I am Native who was raised by a white catholic family. You are ignorant why don't you go back to the white or whatever colour you are, country you originally came from. Natives have more rights then you ever should. You probably drink your face off, sit around playing xbox and have never contributed to societyor the earth. Educate yourself White man came and tool everything there was a treaty signed and mabey you do not know what that is but it is a legal contract and now the so called canadian gov is breaking it. I bet the only contract you know is from your cell phone. You ignorant poor excuse for a person. I bet you would sped up if there was a hurt animal on the road. Get a life and an education your probably on welfare.

Let the Government of Canada,Ontario and the other provinces know that they can imposed the HST on us Native Canadians as long as they give back ALL the land country wide that was taken.

I believe all of you need to open your eyes and see what taxes really do and how they work. Yes, the government takes our money. If you don't like it, move to South America or Africa where little taxes are imposed and see the quality of life. We are all lucky to be living in a Country like ours. Yes, treaties were signed to help ease the discontent of the chiefs, but as any contract there is fine print and back doors. The Government of Canada knows what they are doing. They are all very educated and know what they can and cant get away with. The place you call home is not yours, its all of ours. Pay your dues or get the fuck out.

People are worried about the H1N1, 2012, A.I.D.S, when really we should be worried about the dirty inbred natives that plague this wonderful country.

If they want to not pay taxes. Then pay for your own education, and quit using our resources ( ie.roadways, public buildings) paid for by real "Canadians".

In my opinion we should have wiped you feather wearing cockroaches out when we had the chance.

First of all, I am Native and very proud of it. It is worthy to mention, I have yet to meet one Caucasian individual who didn't claim they have 1/100th of Native blood in them.

So, go ahead and speak negatively of Native people. You see that's how we, Natives differ from people such as yourself, ADAM & GEORGE. We do not need to personally attack other races to elevate ourselves.

BTW, there are many Native people who do pay taxes and pay for their own education, such as myself. I have two degrees and make my contribution to my country by working in the health care system therefore; I urge you to get a referral for some psychiatric therapy....STAT!

It would be interesting to see how Adam would have handled being torn away from his family and raised by white Catholics while being beaten and raped. Methinks his heart and soul would have a different opinion of just how we have treated our native peoples! Adam's opinion is either one of two things: 1) A young child that just doesn't have a clue or 2) One of the most ignorant adults I have ever heard!

I had to say that Adam and George gave me a good laugh that I needed on this monday. No fellow Canadian will actually take those two seriously. I am native, and the fact that they don't understand taxes, or history tells me they haven't hit grade 5 yet. First of, I am native. I pay my taxes on my salary, and for what, is beyond me. See, taxes are charged by the governement in order to pay for services, and administration of government of the people. We, as natives, are SELF GOVERNED. Why do I keep paying taxes on my salary, when it goes to fix the roads outside of my community is beyond me. We pay for our own road work, and many other services. That is why we do not pay taxes to the canadian government. It is the same as asking Adam and George to pay american taxes while resding in Canada. Yet, because I sometimes work off reserve, I pay my taxes. and I bet FAR more than Adam and George combined. People like them make the general canadian population look bad, when in fact, 90% of the population are not like them. (or him) And besides, who posts with generic false names like "Adam" and George". Either false names, or very unoriginal parents. I guess the beer never falls far from the trailer, right?

My closing argument,
So tell me, "You curious, George?"

After reading what i was going to write i decided to sum it up.... natives.. get over it.. white people don't pay attention to it.. its good to see the government finally standing up to "them" because yes we have done some inappropriate things as white society but "they've" done a lot of things too that would seem to me like taking advantage of nice white folk being generous i thought u fuckers traded your shit away back in the day when we didnt need ur tax money so we didnt care

just give us our land back and go back to where ever the fuck u honkeys came from sick of u racist fucks

OMG.....Poor Adam and George- raised by whitetrash parents full of nothing but hate and bitterness. Spending ur life putting down other races when there is nothing u can do about it. Natives, blacks and all the other wonderful ethnic groups out there are what make Canada a beautiful multi-cultural society. And much to your dismay I am sure, the seed of these beautiful people will continue to blend with white society and your future grandchildren etc will all have native, black blood in them. Ain't life grand?!

I CANT BELIEVE THE GOVERMENT IS BRAKEN TREATYS..... THAY LIES BEFORE AND THAY LIED AGAIN.....THAY SAY SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS AND CLAME THEM ....BUT......I CAN KEEP EVERY BUDDYS RECEIPTS I CAN STAND OUT SIDE INDIAN K MART WITH A BAG AND BE A MILLIONAIRE BY THE TIME IM 30 LOL JUST A THOUGHT IM TURTLE CLAN
