It was all for a rich mans golf course...sad that the government supported this.

[@jaisbrennan7696]

it's not about being rich or poor. it's about being an oppressor. even poor whites are oppressors.

[@luciencoates]

@@jaisbrennan7696 No, only the rich. Rich natives are the oppressors. Rich asians, blacks.

It takes a lot of land to build a golf course and game is mainly played by the wealthy and its a popular game.

Golfers tried to destory my local nature reserve, but its nowhere near the evil that the Oka Tribe felt.

Well, for future reference, they only carry about 150 rounds a piece I think,

[@onemorelivingvids]

I’ve heard they are trying to expand the golf course again, do you know if that’s true?

[@evelynproulx1853]

I've heard about that as well. But from what I know, they brought back the idea and it was shut down if I'm right... people around here (I live nearby) haven't forget how bad it became!

Called the army for a golf course on natives land? Who owns these?
