Last week a modest group of demonstrators braved cold weather in front of Conservative Yukon MP Ryan Leef’s riding office as part of the Idle No More rallies.

Leef didn’t address the people but was quoted in a Yukon paper saying: “They should be delivering their message and not needing an MP as a spokesperson on their behalf.”

He was slammed by Liberal MP Carolyn Bennett who called the behaviour unacceptable.

Leef is denying he made the comment.

APTN National News reporter Shirley McLean has more on the story.

  2. Dear God;

    Thank you for everything you are to me and for everything
    you do for me, but most of all for your Unconditional Love and Guidance.. I
    Pray that everything I do I do for you God and for your Will! Please work
    through me for whatever it is you want me to do.

    God today I kneel before you and I humbly pray for our
    Leaders at EVERY Level. Right now, our Nation, our Provinces and Territories,
    Our Communities, our Homes but most of all the People are hurting and turmoil
    is unravelling at every level and turn.
    I give you the Leaders in Jesus name, God, so that they may see the
    error of their ways and of the entities for which they stand. God I ask you to
    give them knowledge and understanding of serving for the greater good of the
    people as a whole and not just a select
    part here and there. God I ask you to
    show the Leaders what is at stake and what direction they should be going
    according to your plan God! God I also, with all my heart, pray for forgiveness
    for our Leaders. If they are not Leading for you God, I ask you to forgive them
    for they know not, nor understand what they do.

    God, for those people who are hurting for whatever reason and
    in any way, or those that are alone, please bless them and help them and fill
    them with the Spirit so that they may find Peace and Comfort and Happiness. God
    I also ask you to bless those same People’s hearts with Joy and Desire to pay
    it forward. God, I know that through you ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. May Love for
    God and Peace reign throughout. God please give people far and wide the
    overwhelming desire to do something for someone less fortunate with pure
    unconditional Love

    God for people who are sick, who are in hospitals of every
    kind, who are facing life threatening situations, who are on the mend please
    please please bless them and comfort them. I ask you to fill them with your
    healing Spirit and surround them with your Healing Angels so that they may find
    good health and comfort.

    God, for the people who are less fortunate, I pray that they
    have their needs met. I ask you to open their eyes so that they see and feel your Love, and in turn Open their
    Hearts to you God, Please. Let them see that through you all things are indeed
    possible.

    God, for those of us who chose to live for you , I pray for
    strength and connections so that we may all seek and find each other out for
    strength , support, and guidance. I pray that we all let your Love Light shine
    through us in every step we take. I beg you to help us be a blessing to others.
    I thank you in advance in sustaining us so that we may go forward in your name!
    I pray for Guardian Angels for all of us to keep us safe as we all go out and
    work in and for your Holy Name!!! I also pray for mercy for anything that may
    come to harm us or against us.

    In Gods Name I Pray, Gunalchish God, Creator of All! I Love
    You!!!

    Your Loving Child

  3. Thing is Yukon might be separate according to the feds but we are one nation in our terms. Seems like they are trying to divide and conquer. Smh this “doesn’t effect” people in the USA or the Lakota women in Egypt but they are protesting in solidarity. They are supporters. As first nations people and Canadians we all are effected it shows by the lack of attentiveness everywhere we have marched so yes it does effect the Yukon it effects all aboriginals and all Canadians. we need to let people know we won’t be walked all over as indigenous people of the world or as people of Canada this is a free country and we will be heard.
