Episode 269 "When you add Insult to Injury, you get your A*& Handed to you" Nov 14, 2020

Show notes

Non-native fishermen in Nova Scotia continued to add insult to injury in their quest to keep Mi’kmaq fishermen from exercising their inherent and treaty-guaranteed fishing rights. In what can only be described as a brilliant, stroke of maneuvering, the Mi’kmaq fishermen purchased a 50 percent stake in the very company that buys the catches from those waters. Bravo!

Episode 268 "A Sigh Of Relief? Hardly!" Nov 12, 2020

Show notes

If you believe you can breathe a sigh of relief, you had better think again. The Republicans, especially the Christian Conservative coalitions are extremely fearful of a Biden administration and they are gearing up to try to take "Back Their Country". We laugh at that absurdity. We speculate on what redicuous strategies thy try to conjure up.

Episode 267 "When We Shape our Destines, We Thrive" Nov 07, 2020

It is in our nature as Natives to adapt to our environment(s). When obstacles are placed in our way to impede our progress, we somehow usually find a way to make it. When we shape our own destinies, we thrive. Stand by us, stand behind us or get out of the way.
