I can't think of a single thing this does to help natives. The idiot do-gooder progressives at city hall will all pat themselves on the back at how noble and inclusive they're being. The natives will high-five each other at having stuck it to the 'settlers', and that will be that.

Except, of course, for engendering further resentment towards natives on the part of a lot of those 'settlers'. That's basically the only thing which this does which will have a lasting effect. Every time stupid **** like, or that Cornwallis statue in Halifax or those moron natives with their protests on parliament hill during Canada day takes place a few more people think that maybe those far right and white power groups are making more sense than they once thought. Certainly there seems a good deal less sympathy for natives today among ordinary people than there was ten years or so ago. Progressives are still willing to lick native boots, of course, as this vote shows, but most people feel differently.

And there you go again, presuming to speak for "most people".
