An amateur card at the Canadian Native Friendship Centre on March 11 featured a long, drawn-out 15-bout card that hit the midnight hour before it was concluded.

Fifteen years marks a long life in the world of business. If a business is also a newspaper, and something other than a general circulation newspaper at that, 15 years and in the black is a real cause for celebration.

This government would like all Aboriginals to pack their bags and leave. This country tried the first form of germ warfare when the English brought the small pox-infested blankets and killed two out of every three Indians. Then…
