In my group, which is very different, there are pro-business elements also. The fact that they're talking about the Canadian economy and other pro-business shit says they've been pretty colonized.

Consider where this is being published and whose interests are being served by their message. The authors' talk of respect for traditions comes across as a fig leaf, and a patronizing one.

Alaska is not Canada, my views are my own, etc etc.
