Body bags? Not Tamiflu, like for everyone else?

As Socrates said many centuries ago, all arguments (in the best sense of that word) begin with definitions. He insisted on careful and precise definitions of words. I do not think that is possible with the word aboriginal. I have seen it defined to mean "indigenous, native". I was born in America. That makes me a native American. Does that also make me an aboriginal American? By that definition, yes.

I have a proposal. In the situation described by the original article (since it was the original article, should we call it "the aboriginal article"), why don't we simply call those "aboriginal" people "Canadians with a gripe".
