TNG s3e2 “The Ensigns of Command”
The Culture is the only society I’d rate higher than the UFP.
lol … [EDIT: I’m talking about Indigenous Communities in northern Ontario in Canada - First Nations] … this kind of negotiation sounds a lot like government meetings we saw as kids and teenagers in the 1980s and 1990s when our northern Ontario communities started speaking a lot more with a lot more expertise at the time. In the 60s and 70s the advocacy was just starting and our Chiefs couldn’t say much because they didn’t really know how to deal with government who held all the cards and rules, regulations and legalese to say and do whatever they wanted. It wasn’t until the 80s and 90s that our people started having enough education, expertise and knowledge to be able to fight back against government with their own legal language.
EDIT: sorry for the confusion in commenting … I was talking to and commenting with family and friends on other political events happening in my area with First Nation governments and our provincial government in Ontario.
Roberts rules of order exist to shut out the plebs, not to achieve consensus.
