this isn't the first time that trudeau has used the phrase "rule of law" in this manner, and it's frankly rather dubyaesque - he clearly doesn't understand what he's saying. he thinks that "rule of law" just means "law and order".
and, it's deeply ironic, because the issue at hand is indeed centered around the rule of law, and whether the police have the jurisdiction here to act - an issue i claim the court is incorrect about.
this particular group of natives is frustrating, though. they don't want to sign a treaty on any terms, apparently. they won't launch legal action, even when they're likely to win, because they don't want to legitimize the common law - a tragic error, on their behalf.
i want to actually enforce the rule of law, which means respecting that they're not under treaty, and abstaining from enforcing treaty rules on groups that never signed any. but, they only seem to show up in court when they're summoned, and they seem to be badly misinformed about what their options are.
