[Resist!ca]

"The problem-plagued Poundmaker Cree Nation is experiencing more tumult after dozens of band members took over the office of the chief and council on Tuesday, saying they plan to remain there until a new election is called. Many band members allege the results of last year's vote, which gave Chief Ted Antoine his fourth consecutive term, are erroneous." ... "In the past, he has collected hundreds of thousands of dollars for untendered contracts while other councilors have received band contracts from him."
