Non-idiot Canadian judge discovered — and the natives are pissed:
“What concerns me is that the ordinary member of a native community does not have the protection of the law. If I know my mayor and councillors are taking money that they shouldn’t, they will be prosecuted immediately for trust thefts and probably face imprisonment,” Mr. Reilly says. On reserve, corruption rarely brings repercussions. “Becoming an Indian chief in Canada is a licence to steal. Some of them use it, some of them don’t.” (…)
What they are used to on the reserve is being able to shut people up; they don’t want anybody to speak out.”
He further points out that they never say he’s wrong: “All they say is that I shouldn’t be saying these things.”
