As I told CITY TV last night: “In the movies, when the bad guy takes out one of the cops, do the cops give up their investigation of the bad guys?  No.  They just work a lot harder to get the bad guys.”

UPDATE: And check out this extraordinary Washington Post play-by-play piece.  “Turn out the lights!” indeed.

• The BC Liberals won. They got more seats. And they may still pick up enough in recounts to give them a majority. 
• The BC Greens won. They grew their popular vote the most and hold the balance of power – for now. 
• The BC NDP lost. They had a double-digit lead and blew it. They relentlessly attacked the Greens – something Christy Clark was careful never to do – and will pay a price for that. They lost. 

Pictures are worth a thousand words. Here’s one that defined last night, for me.

History has a way of repeating itself, you dumb orange sonofabitch.

Here’s three things that the Prime Minister said when he announced his party’s policies as they relate to indigenous people:

To begin, I would like to recognize the Haundenosanee, on whose traditional territory we are gathering.

And:

…we will do more to make sure that the voices of your Nations are heard in Ottawa.

And:

And most importantly, we want to hear directly from you.

Pretty straightforward. One, he recognized that he was on Haundenosanee territory.  Two, he promised to ensure their “voices are heard in Ottawa.”  And, three, he said he want to hear “directly” from the Haundenosanee and other indigenous people.

Well, Justin Trudeau has made good on his promise – sort of.  Yesterday, one of his staff met with Haudenosanee chiefs and clan mothers in PMO.  Good.

But Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett and her staff?  Not only will they not meet with the Haudenosanee, they won’t even reply to their multiple requests for the sort of direct input Trudeau promised.  They won’t even respond to Haudenosanee emails – at least three to date.

I know this because we represent the Haundenosanee’s development institute, and they are in Ottawa again today.  They are having a press conference about it all at eleven.  And Bennett is mistaken if she thinks they will not fight for respect. The traditional Haudenosanee, I can tell you, are fearless.

I will keep you posted about what happens – if anything.

Very disappointing.

Picked up tickets this morning for Off With Their Heads (next week) and the original Sham 69 (next month). Stoked. Here’s two of the two bands’ best.
