Dear Jr,
I need a proper mailing address you twerp! (H/T David Suzuki) - I TOLD YOU THAT YOU WERE NOT WELCOME IN THE TERRITORY OF MY RELATIVES! Didn't you get the Memo, young master Trudeau? I'm pretty sure, somebody put the message "Stay Away From Coast Salish Territory" -- In front of you that day.... SO UWA KWOON? aka in the Hulquminum Treaty Language... HERE IS YOUR FIRST LESSON MR. PRIME MINISTER.... UWA KWOON... it means (depending on context and emphasis and accent deployed when speaking...) "YOUR EARS ARE BROKEN!" -- Do you get me Sweetheart? Uh.... Sorry... Mr. Prime Minister? "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" (re Kinder Morgan PipeLine) J.R. Tolkien -- NOW... I can only speak for relatives in MY part of coast Salish territory who have asked me to stand up here and say a few words to you... that is ALL I have been empowered to speak for. My Family and those who have specifically hired me. BUT I AM A SPEAKER of Hulqumi'num. Xaa Xaa Schwaal!!!!!!... You might want to ask the People north of my people whether they feel the same way as some of us #coastSalish? Rupert Wilson and Guuj Guujaaw and so on...@SEASTEADINGINSTITUTE ? Patri Friedman Patri, are you guys ready for how to handle legal disputes on your floating islands yet? Joe Quirk (for spoilers you can follow me on Facebook under "meaghie champion" Hay Caap Qa!
