First consequence of the Supreme Court decision giving aboriginal groups authority over their traditional lands:
Doorbell rings at 24 Sussex Drive, Ottawa. Moments later, an aide approaches Stephen Harper.
"Uh--Prime Minister?"
"Yes? Don't you know not to bother me when I'm reviewing attack ads?"
"It's just that there's someone at the door."
"Well, what does he want? Does he want to make a donation to our 2015 election fund?"
"I'm afraid not. He says we have to vacate these premises. They are on the site of an ancient buffalo hunting ground."
"Nonsense."
"He asks if you've read the recent Supreme Court decision."
"I suppose it's on the desk here somewhere, under the Hockey News."
Enter a gentleman wearing an eagle headdress. "Time to go, Steve. We're reclaiming this land. There's a van waiting outside for you."
"But--where will I live?"
"It's summer. The parks are open. Take a tent. Oh, and by the way--Beverley McLachlin sends her regards."
