Dear Editor:

Over the past few months I have listened to the government rhetoric in

the media until I, along with most of B.C., am sick of hearing about how

good the Nisga'a's deal is for the people of the northwest.

To hear Mr. John Cashore, Mr. (Ron) Irwin and Mr. (Joe) Gosnell tell it

"we will prosper to no end." All of us who live here know who is

prospering from this sham and it sure isn't the workers of this area.

The position of the Government of Alberta, municipal governments, as

well as numerous non-Native columnists and editorial writers, that First

Nation governments and citizens of First Nations must follow the same

rules as every other citizen of Alberta, completely ignores the fact

that First Nations governments are only subject to provincial

legislation in the most limited of circumstances.

There's something romantic, something that appeals to us about the

outsider. We support the man who stands up against big government, big

business, big religion, for what's right.

Hollywood has made a basket full of underdog movies. We all hope

against hope for the underdog, especially when he's one of ours.

That does not mean, however, that any underdog, that any armed

resistance to the law, is legitimate. Some underdogs are just

criminals.

The cause of the so-called "free-men" in Montana, for example, is not

What's in a name?

A lot, according to one Carleton University professor.

Foster Griezic has teen teaching history at the school's Ottawa campus

for 25 years, but he hasn't set foot in its administration building for

three years. He refuses to enter the building solely because of its

name: Robertson Hall.

The building was renamed in 1993 to honor Gordon Robertson, a former

chancellor of Carleton University and a high ranking civil servant in

the federal Liberal government of the 1950s.
