Nobody wants to compromise (and thats on both sides of the bridge) so there cannot be any resolution forthcoming. Some talk about moving the Canadian Customs checkpoint that currently exists on the island but there could be another solution.......close Akwesasne and move the natives to another reservation where they can live in peace and not be bothered.

They are quite content to hold us all ransom than to make any tangible decision to finally end this issue. I also feel they are not willing to make any compromise with our native neighbors. What is now happening now with the bridge is simply a bandaid and I fear no closure is in sight.

The lack of clean drinking water is a human rights issue, but nobody wants to talk about that. Why is that? How is this a human rights issue?

I have spent a lot of time on the Island and I don't see uncooperative people. I see people frustrated that the Harper government refuses to negotiate or be respectful. The bottom line is you won't find a resolution without negotiating. It always has to be about give and take. What I'm hearing is that the station on the Island isn't coming back. If that's true, then something that makes sense for temporary and permanent crossing of the border has to occur. This isn't rocket science and this facet is not a native issue.
