What puts my nose out of joint is the idea that one group of white, rich males, who are members in a few departments at a low rated university are heralding themselves as the voices of "Western Mentality". I don't think so. We can and do have very different opinions here in the West, as Saskatchewan's political landscape over the last 50 years is evident. As there is no one opinion in the St. Lawrence region, there is no one "Western View" here. Unfortunately, that go-along-with-the-crowd approach in politics/media in Canada keeps people voting for one party only, like in Alberta, where the Conservative government remains in power. I urge others in the west of all political stripe including Conservatives to think and speak for themselves.

They're not really going out of their way to call themselves the "Western Mentality." In fact, left-wing media outlets (such as the Walrus, CBC, Macleans, etc) have essentially stated they are. I mean...this article clearly DOES NOT focus on other western views. It isolates a select few and infers they're the ones running the show when it comes to Conservative politics at a federal level. Try to strive for a bit more objectivity there, Walrus. Ridiculous.

But Flanagan IS an immigrant. He's from an ultra-right wing country called Texas.

Flanagan is pure intolerance. He has a mission that must be completed. He wants aboriginal people to un-exist on paper. Assimilation has been Canada\\\\\\\'s act since the 1600\\\\\\\'s and only in recent decades have they been embracing the different cultures found in Canada, Aboriginals as well as citizens from other countries. Flanagan is here only to put his piss mark in the snow. He has no brain or heart, just an objective that will solifidy his mark on history regardless if he completes his mission or not. This is the worst kind of man that has a strangle-hold on Canada\\\\\\\'s future, a capitalist.
Flanagan, deals were made, papers were signed and they must be upheld. Just because you don\\\\\\\'t like them doesn\\\\\\\'t me they should be destroyed. Swallow it.
