Whoopi-Ding-Fart, Supreme Court of Canada Extends Rights to Métis and Non-status Indians.

The top court was being asked to determine whether the approximately 200,000 Métis and 400,000 non-status Indians in Canada have the right to be treated as "Indians" under the Pierre Idiot Trudeau’s ILLEGAL Constitution and fall under federal jurisdiction.

Having chosen to ignore the legality of OUR Canadian Constitution entirely; the Supreme Court decision coming down on Thursday will have huge implications For Each And Every Taxpaying Canadian; including hundreds of thousands of Métis and non-status Indians; through increased demands from other special interest groups, increased racial discrimination; and will; without a doubt; bankrupt Canada, starting with Alberta which is already experiencing financial stress. CANADA CAN’T PROPERLY ADMINISTRATE TO SEVERELY HANDICAPPED, SENIOR’S SECURE INCOME/PENSION INSURANCE BENEFITS AND/OR MILITARY VETERAN’S PENSIONS; preferring to call them “Permanent Welfare Cases”

It has taken 17 years, but today the Supreme Court of Canada is set to finally deliver a decision that could clarify the relationship between Ottawa and tens of thousands of Métis and non-status Indians.

Today's ruling could potentially extend the federal government's responsibilities to approximately 200,000 Métis and 400,000 non-status aboriginal people who are not affiliated with specific reserves and have essentially no access to First Nations programs, services and rights.

Apr 14, 2016 9:54 AM ET Last Updated: Apr 14, 2016 11:16 AM ET: The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that tens of thousands of Métis and non-status Indians are the responsibility of the federal government, ending a 17-year court battle.

"This is a great day for over 600,000 Metis and non-status Indians," said Dwight Dorey, national chief of the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples, after the decision was released Thursday. "Now hopefully we will not have to wait any longer to sit at the table."

The ruling extends the federal government's responsibilities to approximately 200,000 Métis and 400,000 non-status aboriginal people who are not affiliated with specific reserves, and have essentially no access to First Nations programs, services and rights.

"I'm very happy that we were successful in removing a blockage," said Joseph E. Magnet, lead lawyer for the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples. The court recognised that this blockage has caused significant disadvantage, discrimination, and resulted in denial of programs and services that all governments recognised were necessary."

In 1999, prominent Métis leader Harry Daniels started the landmark Métis and non-status Indian rights case. Daniels died in 2004.

It could also open the door for Metis and non-status Indians to negotiate for hunting, harvesting and land rights.

"This is a dream come true," said Gail Gallupe, president of McMurray Métis Local 1935. The group represents Métis people in Fort McMurray and northeastern Alberta.
