The Oka Crisis

 The Oka Crisis  is an incident I can't really remember hearing about. I really don't know what you want to know. What do I think the main points are? Quite frankly you really don't want to know what I think. You would think that it is harsh and it could be. 

If You insist I would have to say. Why do we loose land if the government want it for a project, but nothing happens to the first nations. What makes them so different  than us? How come we are violating human rights when it is the first nations? Don't get me wrong I have nothing against them. But, from my perspective it looks like we aren't given the same rights as they are. It's not their fault. I admit it could be a figment of my imagination. 

You want us to look at points from the crisis. that is one of them. The soldiers were criticized heavily with how they conducted themselves. during the incident. I don't understand that personally. A) they were following orders. B)They killed Corporal Marcel Lemay with their protesting against a golf course!

Maybe I am being critical it is very possible. I just don't understand the rights issue. The country itself did not set up all of the barricades. Why did people agree with people who caused how much traffic jams? Why did they take their side. Granted if the government suddenly decided that my land was beneficial to Canada as something I would be very upset. I hope however I wouldn't go to the extremes of taking out the hi-way by my house. 

These really are just my personal opinions on how I think  people deal with things. Maybe this  isn't what you had in mind when you posted the assignment.  You know by now I am opinionated and probably ignorant of what has happened, everyone has an opinion and this is mine. (probably a very ignorant one.)
