Military Watches "Native" Groups

In what is likely a bid to raise a future federal election issue for floundering Liberals, liberal mouthpiece The Globe And Mail reported on its front page on October 13, 2011, that the Department Of National Defence admits its intelligence group assembled at least eight reports on "native" organization activities between January 2010 and July 2011.  The Globe And Mail further adds that when told of these documents, "one aboriginal leader" said "the thought of the military keeping tabs on natives was "chilling"".

While one can hope this "leader" went on further to say that such observation was understandable, reasonable, expected, acceptable, and sensible, it's unlikely given The Globe And Mail attributes no other quote to this "leader".

Undoubtedly, liberals are enraged to learn our military watches "native" groups.  One supposes they should be.

After all, it's not like "native" groups have ever done anything like take over provincial lands, bearing guns, only to threaten the local populace.  It's not like they've ever hijacked an entire city, only to destroy it, its citizens, the city's taxable base, and its future.  Just ask Julian Fantino about his superior policing in Caledonia that prevented all that.

As every liberal will tell you, "natives" never get drunk, stoned, or violent.  They are all peaceful, earth loving human beings, who are incredibly tolerant, especially of white Christian males.  They openly welcome people onto their tax-free reserves, never look for Government grants or handouts, and are entrepreneurial and independent.  Our booming "dream catcher" market is a mere testament to that.

The Globe And Mail should rest easy.  This is Canada.  Canadians fully support our Government not watching any internal groups, and certainly not any group that might have the slightest propensity toward violence.  It's not like the bombers of Air India Flight 182 lived in Canada.  It's not like Islamic terrorists live in the United States.  All Canadians are outraged, and the federal Liberals need to market this for their next election.

Besides, like true Canadians, the military has already set up a pre-emptive apology, as The Globe And Mail noted:  "The Department of National Defence denies it obtained the intelligence itself, and says the information, which cites confidential sources with apparent inside knowledge of native groups, came from other government agencies.".  Nothing like being afraid of those from whom you are supposed to protect us.  Great job Canada!
