All for ourselves, and nothing for other people, seems, in every age of the world, to have been the vile maxim of the masters of mankind.

On turnabout
CanWest reports that the Cons are recalling the House of Commons aboriginal affairs committee in an effort to deflect attention from their own refusal to sign onto the U.N.'s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. But it's worth noting the opportunity presented by the Cons' decision: as long as the Cons have taken the first step in bringing a committee back to Ottawa (and for a far less valid reason), they can hardly complain if Gordon O'Connor and others in turn get summoned to answer for their "incarceration of information".
