The left (and our media) needs to stop exploiting First Nations and leaving them holding an empty bag. The resource industry used to exploit them but those days are thankfully long gone. First Nations are now a respected partner and profit from resource development and I would expect nothing less from them than to play business hardball to maximize their return. Thousands of First Nation peoples are employed in or own businesses in the resource sector. Ecofanatics  are robbing them of respect and livelihood  by signing them up to their cause and giving them nothing in return except for the opportunity to come and perform at their functions like trained seals. The left is selling the First Nations worthless trinkets and holding them back from their full potential. I fully support First Nations becoming fabulously wealthy and more integral to Canada than being asked to perform for us at Canada Day celebrations to ease our guilt at keeping them in grinding poverty.
