"Has Mr. Veniez actually read the treaty?Slippery slope to what? First, under the treaty Sliammon law is Canadian law. Second, the attack is referring to the rules of paramountcy. Under the treaty, Sliammon law is paramount to federal and provincial law (i.e. "trumps") in some matters and in others federal and provincial law is paramount. Why would the attacker think that it's a slippery slope to empower Sliammon to control its own culture, government and other matter internal to Sliammon?
What about the part where Sliammon law trumps Canadian law. If Veniez supports this measure fully, this opens a very dangerous and slippery slope." [ ]
Is it politics, ignorance, or racism? The more I read about BC treaty news, politics, ignorance, and racism are not mutually exclusive or exhaustive categories.
Hey chief, you clearly have no concept of Canadian law. It's not rasicm to want to protect your home and business from ending up on indian land where I have no rights.

Considered removing the comment above, but it proves the point of the article, nicely.
