That's okay.
I've been back in Canada for two years now, read your post, and still couldn't think of anything else AFN could stand for....

| Less than 3% of the population, and they (er, the band chiefs) ask for and will likely get even more money...when will it ever make a difference? |

| It sucks...I'm all in favour of native self-government, and all we can do to help out the ailing Native culture/population...but how much more can realistically be done? I remember thinking during my schoolboy days that I'd give my left nut for a Native Status Card...I probably still would if I went back. I've got a Native great-grandfather...damn, just one generation removed from easy street... |

I take it you did not take Capitalism 101 offered by Israel Asper when you attended Mcgill.
977 Million dollars every year is worth saving a Canadian institution. |
