"For over a century, the central goals of Canada's Aboriginal policy were to eliminate Aboriginal governments; ignore Aboriginal rights; terminate the Treaties; and, through a process of assimilation, cause Aboriginal peoples to cease to exist as distinct legal, social, cultural, religious, and racial entities in Canada." - Introduction to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Final Report.
Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound MP Larry Miller has not yet been through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's report. Fair enough – even the summary is 388 pages long. In a telephone interview with the Hub this week, Mr. Miller said he intends to read it ...

At the end of last week you may have found, here on the Hub, an article about my efforts to raise some funds for the Bluewater division of the Canadian Cancer Society.
I am happy to report your success in this endeavour to the extent that you have donated over $400 to the cause.
If you had intended to be part of that but hadn't managed to squeeze that into your understandably busy schedule, there is good news. You can still make that donation by dropping in to The River Café at 986 Main Street (2nd Ave. East) in Owen Sound and leaving your donation there, or by going to The Cancer Society's collection page.
I also want to thank my musical partner, Rebecca Johnson-Morelli for her enthusiastic participation in shaving my head, and for her confirming her further participation in the show we'll be putting on for donors who gave twenty dollars or more.

Well the campaign has officially started. Jim Merriam has stopped praising mules and started talking up Tories.
In a recent article in the Owen Sound Sun Times he claimed the heartland of Ontario for his Party, including Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound. The riding is apparently Larry Miller's (and therefore Mr Harper's) to control "as long as he wants it."
