Cree Freedom - Canada

July 1996
If Quebec leaves Canada, Grand Chief Matthew Coon Come warns that Cree Indians will go with the English. Separatists pay heed since an independent Quebec could not survive without the rich resources of Cree lands. A gleaming chain of lakes linked by pine forest have been used as hunting grounds by Cree families for generations. If Canada splits, the Cree believe it will be the greatest threat since the arrival of the Europeans. As a young man, Matthew defied a multi billion project to dam the north west rivers, learning the white man's ways by becoming a lawyer, leading Indian leaders in heated protests to stop the expansion of existing reservoirs. His belief that separatists will revive those plans is confirmed by an interview with the Quebec Ministry of Resources. Even now, 150 ft virgin pines are toppled to the ground like matchsticks as the land is cleared for development. As exploitation of these lands alienate the Cree from the Quebec administration, French officials exacerbate tensions by refusing to acknowledge Cree sovereignty over the north west. The natural abundance of the province makes it a battleground on which Canada's greatest question might be resolved.

Not to build great pyramids, but to leave the land as it is.... Amazing quote. As an englishman who has lived on Cree land for 2 years it has been great, thank you for the hospitality and the feast's!

Hope they are able to keep there lands safe from any more tree cutting and other rape of the land. This people don't get that they have to live with Nature not against nature. Hope they can save it. Trees help nature. My hope that Canada doesn't turn  into a U.S.A. were greedy companies take and destroy nature daily. They will if they are unchecked.

@4BlocksE2ndOnRight Yeah I know that now I seen him on some other videos, what a poor little bastard.

@CanadiansGoHome Little Doggie, Did you get out of your yard again.

Sorry, folks if you find Little Doggie a nuisance and a pest. He is just a lonely person trying to find human contact in whatever way he can.

You will know when Little Doggie gets riled up because he hits the UPPERCASE letters with enthusiam.

It's best to ignore him and he will lose interest and go pester someone else. He trolls Quebec-related videos to help keep himself from boredom.

@MrThewhiteindian Hello, I noticed you have been battling Little Doggie of CanadiansGoHome. He also operates Unuileuneville on youtube. He trolls videos seeking to add inflamatory comments in hopes that others will respond. He is a sad. lonely and odd character seeking to make contact with others.

I recommend that either you ignore him and eventually he will go away or just bear in mind that he is NOT a representative of Quebec, but instead a member of a lunatic fringe. He is a nuisance.

@lmuthali Hello. I noticed you replied to Little Doggie at CanadiansGoHome. He also uses Uneiluneville to dispense his lies, hatred and prejudice about others who fail to listen, respect or agree to his nonsense. He derives satisfaction from upsetting others. The best course of operation when dealing with him is to either ignore him or just don't lose your awareness that he is a little lonely person who speaks only for himself and not others

Little Doggie is nuisance and a pest.

@CanadiansGoHome You go back to Europe you dumb French cunt. This is not Quebec, this is CREE LAND, this is NATIVE LAND!

[MrThewhiteindian]

@CanadiansGoHome The provincial government in Quebec handles the resources like shit. I drove through Montreal and the city is falling apart, and out of the 10 provinces the fifth highest unemployment.

[MrThewhiteindian]

@CanadiansGoHome Why the fuck would we leave our own land? The criminals in this country are you goddamn white shitheads, who would have starved and froze to death if nobody helped them, so shut the fuck up you uneducated asshole.

[MrThewhiteindian]

@CanadiansGoHome Lol, fuck off your no more apart of this country then immigrants from the Sudan.
