Ossie Michelin, a fellow journalist, friend and person of native ancestry, had this to say:
I don't think I'll be doing a story on this one any more now that they've changed the theme and apologized for it on their website. One of the problems with being an aboriginal people is that you're looked upon as some sort of mythical creatures that don't exist anymore, you know like unicorns or red tories, so it's ok to apropriate culture because in the minds of many we stop existing when the Europeans built their cities.
That being said I would love to see people apropriate red tory culture: yay social programs and small government!
