Oh, Come on!

this is an inquiry, NOT an religious service.

if you want to have a ceremony, have it!   No reason the Gov't need waste money on it too!

as for the question, "why is there so much more violence against FN women?"   

Well two things come to mind:
1) The First Nation's culture of women and children as property.  (I have experienced this first hand)
2) Alcohol

anyone who doesn't understand, needs to live in a First Nations community for a year!  You'll have ALL your answers!

the rank and file will NEVER get out from under the crushing CORRUPTION of Band Politics until there is FULL and TRANSPARENT addressing of Band Finance!

the CPC under Harper enacted the "transparency act" which was a GREAT START!
But the Trudeau Liberals shut it down!

it is OBVIOUS the Trudeau Liberals DO NOT CARE about Canadian Children and Women!

The FACT that Trudeau has put forward M103, his conversion to Islam, and a few other issues PROVE they no longer support Canadians!
