Title: My Town on You Tube


CanChik - February 29, 2008 02:24 PM (GMT)
Two years ago, the Six Nations (a group of Aboriginals), took over a housing development close to where I live. There has been some violence and several confrontations over the last two years, the result being that this group is still on the land (out of about 4 or 5 houses that were already built or in process, one is still standing), the land has been bought by our provincial government, and there are ongoing 'talks'.
Every once in awhile, there is another protest.

Anyhow, our provincial Minister of Aboriginal Affairs, Michael Bryant, did a series of You Tube discussions about the problem. Very casual, folksy, home-video type of thing.
However, if you want to see some of my town...the Tim Hortons lol, the bridge, etc., it's rather interesting.

In case anyone is interested. It may be slightly similar to some of what is happening in in the southern states, with other groups of people.

I looked for you in the background...... you weren't there! It's so nice to see Tim Hortons! :D

The weather looks awful.... that's what we have here today.

I was probably inside one of those Tims lol.... (no not really, I was at home dying on the couch).
Thanks for watching them! That's cool! :hug:

Well...now I know what a Tim Hortons looks like....and that guy really needed a hat on his head.

The scenery is lovely, the train station and the bridge....


I still think he needed a hat on his head....I wonder if he got sick.....

Thanks for watching Ms Patti! That's cool!

I like our little town, I just don't like the controversy.

Still, it's a nice place to live!
