Macleans Magazine Election Forum 2006
Encouraged by the number of people who have forwarded my Open Letter to Jim Pankiw on to friends/family/politicians, I sent it off to the editor of Macleans Magazine.

I've not understand the First Nations' position. Your post has helped me to improve my understanding. I think I'll read the Royal Commission Report next.The troubles and trials of native peoples have seemed far from my day to day experiences. But now I realize that Canada's treatment of any of its citizens affects me directly.
