-=> Quoting George Pope to All <=-

 GP> So PM Martin was doing some pre-campaign visiting of the various
 GP> Native peoples, including meeting with the chief of Ontario's biggest
 GP> tribe. 
 GP> He spoke for an hour, expounding on his oh-so-wonderful track record
 GP> WRT land claim negotiations, and how he fully supports the Natives in
 GP> all their claims, and how he will continue to support them in the
 GP> coming years.

 GP> Afterwards, one of the braves presented Martin with a certificate that
 GP> gave him an official Indian name of "Walking Eagle" -- Martin was
 GP> ecstatic, and proudly showed it off to the media members who met him
 GP> as he was returning to his office.

 GP> One of the reporters was curious, so he went back to the reservation
 GP> and asked them about the name, what's the real meaning of "Walking
 GP> Eagle" (for he knew that the names were largely symbolic."

 GP> The tribal secretary answered him, "Well, it refers to when an eagle
 GP> gets too constipated to fly."

I'll betcha that "Walking Eagle" never heard the word "Ipperwash"
uttered while he was meeting with the First Nation people.

I also bet that he was never in Ipperwash as an Army Cadet when he
was a teen either.
