The stand by these groups show just how delusional and emboldened they have become under the Liberal gov't of Sunny Daze.  While they may consider themselves 'nations' they are still groups of aboriginal/indigenous peoples, living on lands they may own, but primarily supported by Canadian taxpayer funds.  Some are self-supporting, but so many aren't.  To demand, which is what they seem to do these days, a footing equal to the provinces, is a non-starter.  Or at least it will be until Dr. Bennett convinces Sunny Daze to do it.
