First Nations Want Cellphone Revenue

Peacenik45 writes "The CBC is reporting that First Nations in Manitoba want compensation for every cell phone signal that passes through their land because it violates their airspace. The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs recently resolved to negotiate revenue sharing with Manitoba Telecom Services. Ovide Mercredi of the Grand Rapids First Nations says "When it comes to using airspace, it's like using our water and simply because there's no precedent doesn't mean that it's not the right thing to do." This move may inspire First Nations in other provinces to follow suit."

Actually, I was referring to the big, vocal, Professional Liberals in general, as compared to the garden-variety liberals that make up the rank and file. I'm not a Canadian and don't know enough about Canadian politics to have made the distinction you refer to.
