<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
AP: The Original Peoples are involved in politics from the moment they first draw breath in this world. As we saw with the Idle No More movement and the government’s refusal to even talk about Bill C-45, we can shout from the sidelines all we want but will not be heard. There are a few ways to get around this. One is the slow and careful process of lawsuits, petitions, protests, appeals, and so on. Another is what we see happen in moments of frustration: roadblocks, sit-ins, sabotage. But it’s the third way that holds the most hope – that we engage in the process. Look, you can get involved in Canadian society, still retain your culture and identity yet have the opportunity to make real, positive, and lasting change. Personally, I like the third way. Get involved. Be the legislator instead of the perpetually legislated against.</div>

<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">As one of the +1400 Canadians who made formal complaints after being targetted for fraudulent misdirection at voting time in 2011, I'm disappointed the media allowed the story to become solely focused on Guelph, overlooking those of us at home in the other 246 electoral districts.* I am not sure how many more Canadians received robocalls, without formally registering protest/indignation.</span></h1>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Given that I do not belong to any political party, the only way my personal information might have arrived on the "voter kill list" that Conservative backroom strategists employed in making the calls would have been by writing to my duly elected representative, <a href="http://alicewong.ca/" target="_blank">Alice Wong</a>, and/or other MPs and ministers with whom I engaged in correspondence. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">The profound hostility I experienced had a definite chill on my willingness to engage in public discussion or debate, although thankfully the misdirection did not disrupt my household in voting.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
Although I wrote to Ms Wong, Stephen Harper and others to request clarification (how my contact information ended up in Conservative Party lists, how I became marked as a public enemy/sub-citizen ripe for target practice), I did not receive any assurance that the elected politicians would work to prevent the misuse of the electoral list in future elections.**</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With the new electoral boundaries, I am no longer involved with Ms Wong's political future. But I still do have questions unanswered.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.3em;">
In order to increase electors' confidence in the electoral process and in political parties, consideration should be given to the development of codes of conduct applicable to political parties, their officials, candidates, other affiliated entities such as electoral district associations, and active supporters. These codes would be developed by the parties, with Elections Canada's assistance if required.</div>

Another means of increasing Canadian electors' confidence in the political process and political parties (particularly as regards political entities' use of their personal information), which garnered a broad consensus from the panel of experts consulted by Elections Canada, is the development of a code of ethics or code of conduct<a href="http://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=res&dir=rep/off/comm&document=p5&lang=e#ftn49" id="ftnref49" style="color: #002a00;" title=""><span style="font-size: 10.8000001907349px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">Footnote 49</span></a> for political parties – one to which they would either voluntarily adhere or that could be mandated through legislation.<br />

Both men have served as chiefs of their bands in the B.C. interior and both have gone on to establish important national and international reputations. But the differences between them are in many ways even more interesting. Arthur Manuel is one of the most forceful advocates for Aboriginal title and rights in Canada and comes from the activist wing of the movement. Grand Chief Ron Derrickson is one of the most successful Indigenous businessmen in the country.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Together the Secwepemc activist intellectual and the Syilx (Okanagan) businessman bring a fresh perspective and new ideas to Canada’s most glaring piece of unfinished business: the place of Indigenous peoples within the country’s political and economic space. The story is told through Arthur’s voice but he traces both of their individual struggles against the colonialist and often racist structures that have been erected to keep Indigenous peoples in their place in Canada.</div>

In the final chapters and in the Grand Chief’s afterword, they not only set out a plan for a new sustainable indigenous economy, but lay out a roadmap for getting there.<br />

This is the critical conversation that Canada and Indigenous peoples must have because it is centred on land, and, therefore, it is one of the most important books on Indigenous politics I’ve ever read.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Advocates for Canadian transgender rights legislation were set back and frustrated with what they say is a "transphobic" Senate committee amendment that limits the effectiveness of the bill.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.0000400543213px; line-height: 18.9000549316406px; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
NDP MP Randall Garrison's private member's bill, C-279, seeks to fight hate crimes against transgender individuals by adding gender identity provisions to both the Criminal Code and the Canadian Human Rights Act. </div>

Randall Garrison, the LGBT critic for the NDP, introduced private member's legislation to strengthen anti-discrimination protections against the transgender community. (ndp.ca)<br />

"We still want to support the bill, because it's important for the trans community, but if it's going to have the amendment in it that restricts our use of washrooms and public facilities... no," said Amanda Ryan from the advocacy group Gender Mosaic.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.0000400543213px; line-height: 18.9000549316406px; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
"It's a bad bill with that amendment in it. We want to fight as hard as we can to have that removed," she told CBC News Network's <em>Power & Politics</em> on Thursday.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.0000400543213px; line-height: 18.9000549316406px; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
The bill passed in the House of Commons almost two years ago, thanks to 18 votes from a divided Conservative caucus. Even cabinet ministers were split on the issue.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.0000400543213px; line-height: 18.9000549316406px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px; padding-left: 3em;">

On Wednesday at the Senate committee finally tasked with reviewing the legislation, Conservative Senator Don Plett introduced three amendments. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.0000400543213px; line-height: 18.9000549316406px; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Garrison told reporters he didn't have a problem with two of them:</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.0000400543213px; line-height: 18.9000549316406px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px; padding-left: 3em;">
<li style="list-style: none outside none; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: -1em; padding-left: 0.75em; position: relative;">One is a tactical amendment to make it correspond to other legislation, like C-13, the Tories' cyberbullying legislation.</li>
<li style="list-style: none outside none; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: -1em; padding-left: 0.75em; position: relative;">The other removes a definition for gender identity not included in his original bill, but added by Commons Conservatives to clarify its application before passage. </li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.0000400543213px; line-height: 18.9000549316406px; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
The third amendment, however, exempts places like prisons, crisis centres, and public washrooms and change rooms from the bill's provisions. That, Garrison says, is "transphobic."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.0000400543213px; line-height: 18.9000549316406px; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
"That particular amendment is deeply troubling to transgendered people," said Independent Liberal Senator Grant Mitchell, who had sponsored the bill in the Senate and led senators from his party in voting against the change. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.0000400543213px; line-height: 18.9000549316406px; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
