Interesting interview from the brother of McClintic
EXCLUSIVE: McClintic’s brother says ‘she’s no more Indigenous than I am green from the planet Mars’
Good for her brother, speaking up. I really hope McClintic is removed from this healing lodge. She doesn't deserve to be there.
So the message to the disadvantaged youth of our country, indigenous or otherwise, is to commit a heinous murder and your living conditions will improve ten fold. Certainly seems to have worked for TLM. I bet this is the nicest place she's ever lived in.
It's pretty simple to amend the law that allows a convicted first degree murderer to be transferred to any medium security facility or healing lodge. But I don't expect the current federal government to bother trying to change anything.
I hope RS is able to get a lot of people to back him up and make some noise in Ottawa next month. Perhaps fighting for a change to the law that allowed this to happen is going to be his next project on behalf of Victoria. I wish him well.
MOO
I'm glad they finally came to their senses and are sending this murderer back to prison where she belongs. She is not aboriginal and had no right to serve out her sentence in a 'healing lodge' or anywhere else but a prison cell. She helped a pedophile rape an 8 year old girl, and then helped beat that little girl to death and then disposed of her body. She deserves a blanket, a cot and 3 meals a day. That's it. I hope that these changes will prevent other murderers from taking advantage of the system by pretending to be aboriginal to get moved out of prison to 'healing lodges'.

We live in a world where anyone can identify however they choose. If a man says that he is a woman, then he is a woman. If someone identifies as indigenous, that's who he or she is.
What this change means is that violent offenders, regardless of how they identify, will no longer be eligible for transfer to a healing lodge. Is that consistent with the original intent of the healing lodge?
No, we cannot identify in any way we choose.
Rachel Dolezal is a white woman who identifies as a black woman. How is that different from Terri McClintic identifying as an indigenous woman?
The government of Canada gives certain benefits and rights to people in this country who are truly indigenous. Not just anyone can apply for these benefits by "identifying" as indigenous.
