Tansi Brenda,
I hope you're thriving, wherever you are. Many thanks as always for your continued good work in keeping this old canoe balanced. I just got back from Oklahoma (anti-frakking rally) and Regina for a week with my family, and it was really cold. Idle No More events continue to pick up enthusiasm across all backgrounds and age groups. Teach-ins happening everywhere, including peer to peer in the back seat of cars. One of the most powerful things we're pointing out is that Bill C45 is over 500 pages long and written in lawyer-ese that most of the legislators didn't even read; while Treaty One is only four pages long. Thus everybody is starting to become more interested in reading, understanding, framing their own copies of our Treaties to hang on the wall.
