Anther knee-slapper from yesterday’s edition of
Politics:
Susan Bonner: On the issue of leadership, I know you met with the Grand Chief of the Assembly of First Nations Phil Fontaine yesterday… He wants a seat at the table with the Council of the Federation. What’s your position on that?
Chief Dan Two-Face: I think Chief Fontaine and other leaders are quite comfortable with the arrangement that we have right now, which is in fact that they have a meeting before our official meeting. Over time there may be a time and there may be a place when they will join that Council of the Federation. Right now I don’t sense that there’s a unanimous appetite for that to happen at the Council.
Which is funny, because not five minutes before that, Danny Williams was speaking in the distinctive style of a First Nations leader himself:
Chief Dan Two-Face: My people and my province have been seriously affected by the promise of Stephen Harper.
