It's a no-lose issue for the provincial and federal governments. They can starve the system of needed funding with impunity because there isn't an opposition leader in this country willing to stake his or her fortunes on getting more money for deadbeat criminals.

Five months ago, Alvin Delorme approached the Cowessess First Nation's urban office to answer the requests of many Regina-based Elders. He was looking to organize a traditional healing gathering that would help many residential school survivors in the area. The proposal to hold a gathering that dealt with issues of elder abuse, crime prevention and healing for Cowessess First Nations Elders was repeatedly rejected by various groups. But Delorme persisted, and the Regina Police Service finally answered his call. We approached the Regina Police Service and spoke with their chief of police, Cal Johnston, and asked him if he was interested in doing this for our members. He also said that he was interested in partnering the Regina Police Service with us so we could open it up to everybody, ...
