A Fresh Look at Dudley George

Open Letter to Canadians:

I was wondering if you have given thought to writing a piece about the death of indigenous activist Dudley George, whose shooting death by the OPP was the centre of an inquiry years ago.

Before and during the inquiry process Kenneth Deane (the shooter) and multiple OPP officers were all killed in car accidents that the OPP investigated and declared accidents.

Sergeant Margaret Eve, a dispatch officer on the day of the shooting, was hit by a transport truck on Highway 401 near Chatham in June 2000.

Inspector Dale Linton, the officer who activated Deane's unit the night Dudley George was shot, was killed in a vehicle accident near Smiths Falls in October 2000.

Kenneth "Tex" Deane was killed on February 25, 2006 in a car accident when his vehicle collided with a truck near Prescott, Ontario.

All three were killed before they could testify at the inquiry. The inquiry was quite literally a "dead end" because there was no one alive from the chain of command to say who ordered the shooting death of Dudley George.

The OPP deny being any foul play in the deaths of their officers, but can we really trust the OPP to investigate the deaths of witnesses to an event the OPP was intimately involved with?

And with that in mind, we should understand that the 1200+ indigenous women who were murdered / missing likely involves police either bungling cases or deliberately bungling cases because they themselves were responsible.

INDIGENOUS LIVES MATTER, but clearly so do police lives when there is apparently a serial killer targeting the OPP.

The Indigenous Peoples Voting Bloc

"One in ten Canadians are indigenous. They are one of the largest voting blocs in the country. When they all vote together, they have the power to topple governments. You would have to be a moron to ignore the Indigenous Peoples vote."

In October Stephen Harper was booted from office and amongst the reasons why was the fact that he ignored repeated calls for an inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women.

The new Liberal government has promised an inquiry and is going to deliver. The new interim Conservative leader, Rona Ambrose, is now backpeddling on the issue and saying she will support an inquiry... But why?

Is it because the Conservatives realized that 10% of voters in Canada are indigenous and that 10% can be the difference between winning an election and going home in resounding defeat?

I think so.

Clearly the reversal of the Conservative Party shows that they previously thought that Indigenous vote didn't matter, and they have now realized that it does matter.

So was Stephen Harper a moron for ignoring 10% of voters? Quite possibly? Or was he simply a racist who apparently hates Muslims, indigenous peoples, and anyone else who gets in his way? He apparently is not fond of women, children, and that poor kitten in the one famous photo looks traumatized.

Earlier this year many chiefs were urging their people to vote - not necessarily to vote against Harper, simply that they should vote. Because they knew that the Indigenous vote does matter.

And now it has been proven.

Natives pissed on by Stephen Harper

I got the following image below from this website: Anybody But Stephen Harper.

It is not a myth. It describes something that actually happened. For more details on the incident read the CBC news articles from 2009:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/health-canada-apologizes-for-body-bags-1.790351

What that incident shows is the level of disregard the Harper government has for Native Canadians.

Also while we are at it, what about the 1200+ missing / murdered women cases which are unsolved that Stephen Harper claims "most of those have already been solved". Complete BS. They have not been solved at all. Apparently he doesn't understand the term "unsolved".

And on top of being treated like shit, aboriginals in Canada are apparently expected to keep boiling their water in many communities that don't even have clean drinking water. The money is apparently there to fix the problem, but the Harper government has been ignoring the problem for 10 years because they are using clean drinking water as a bargaining stick when dealing with these communities.

Got a message for you Stephen Harper. Clean drinking water is NOT a bargaining stick. It is a right.

It is no wonder so many aboriginals in Canada hate Stephen Harper. They have a right to be pissed off. Anybody who gets treated like that should feel like they are being physically threatened by the Harper government, because in reality they are being physically threatened. Their lives are at stake.

People are dying. Something needs to be done. Stephen Harper is not the man for the job.
