Regardless of what side of the political fence you are on Bure is just stating what alot of people are thinking. There are arguments for both sides of the issue.

I do try to avoid commenting on political statements on a hockey blog, as a rule, but since this relates to a Canuck legend sharing his opinions...
If Bure’s comments are simply
* there should be one set of laws for everyone
* we should recognize that indigenous peoples in North America are discriminated against
...then it should be possible to agree with him regardless of your political affiliations.
The reality, in both the US and Canada, is that the laws that exist are NOT enforced the same for everyone, hence the widespread anger and demonstrations.
There is more to systemic discrimination than unequal law enforcement, as you know, though it is a major issue.
