What’s beyond belief is that this is a news story to begin with. For one, it’s sad that a B.C. chief is picking on a blogger. What’s more sad is that his words are considered “inflammatory and discriminatory” to aboriginal people.

Apparently it’s a “slap in the face of First Nations people” to list off some of the many things the Europeans brought to Canada. Let me be the first to support Rachel Marsden – for free speech, and for being right.
