Are native people treated fairly Rob Hagen Georgetown Yes they are being treated fairly They re asking for more rights than the average Canadian gets They re not being treated the same as the rest of us I don think they should have immunity from prosecution If they were the ones responsible for the policeman s death in Quebec Mellsnle Hall Toronto I don t think how they ve been treated is acceptable For years they ve been restricted to their little reserves when they were the ones who were here first I think what s going on right now in Quebec shows what the natives have been facing for years Ian Oldaker No fundamentally we took over their land I lived Manitoba for many years and there are more natives living there so our at tftudes towards them were easier to see Many of them are unemployed and people just look the other way when they pass them on the street Politicians should really have treated them as partners right from the start instead of making all the deci for them
