Yeah it is egregious. The original deal was already a sham because for giving up huge swaths of land they are only getting paid $4 per head per year for 1400 people. This is essentially a lease of $5,600 for 100,000 square kilometers of land. Which includes Thunder Bay, North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury. These people were manipulated into giving up their land, and we can’t even honor the original scam.

Liquidate the British crown.
What exactly would that do for this situation?
