EDMONTON-The millions of cigarettes seized by Alberta authorities last week on the Montana First Nation reserve had the proper federal registration, the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission said.

The cigarettes displayed the proper “Canada Duty-Paid” stamp, according to a spokeswoman. The commission, however, is still investigating the matter because the 75,000 cartons of cigarettes were not legal for sale in Alberta under provincial law, said Christine Wronko.

The 14 million cigarettes were being stored on Montana First Nation to be distributed to reserves throughout Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan.

The cigarettes were manufactured and shipped to the reserve by Rainbow Tobacco, a federally licensed manufacturer based in Kahnawake, Que.

Rainbow Tobacco claims it wasn’t necessary for the Mohawk company to obtain provincial paperwork because the cigarettes were for sale only on First Nations reserves which fall under federal jurisdiction.

RCMP investigators also found that the cigarettes appeared to have the proper federal stamp, but continued to investigate to ensure everything was in order.

If police investigators believe everything checks out, it may limit the RCMP’s involvement, leaving the Alberta agency to pursue the case.

Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission agents seized the 14 million cigarettes Jan. 5 in a raid conducted with the RCMP.

Authorities were tipped to the cigarette’s existence after police were called on Jan. 3 following a break-in and theft of over two dozen cases from the Quonset holding the product.

The raid also triggered major political upheaval on the First Nation, which sits about 90 kilometres south of Edmonton and is one of four First Nations in Hobbema, Alta.

The fate of band Chief Carolyn Buffalo and Coun. Len Standinontheroad, who were involved in the arrangement to bring the cigarettes to the community, remains unclear.

Another heated band meeting was held Friday in the community to again discuss the future of the two band politicians.

Buffalo and Standingontheroad were initially suspended after the raid. During a press conference Thursday, Buffalo claimed she was still the chief.

Coun. Brad Rabbit, who said he was the acting chief, told APTN National News Friday that Buffalo and Standingontheroad were still suspended.

He said Buffalo was not authorized by the band council to hold the press conference, which was also attended by the president of Rainbow Tobacco Robbie Dickson.

New details have since emerged of the ambitious scope of Rainbow Tobacco’s plan to corner the on-reserve tobacco market in three Western provinces with Montana First Nation acting as the main distribution point.

Kahnawake newspaper, The Eastern Door, reported Friday that Rainbow Tobacco had managed to finalize a deal two years in the making to replace all other tobacco brands on the shelves of on-reserve stores across Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan.

“The Montana First Nation would have been the distribution centre for Rainbow Tobacco to all of the reserves out West. The stores on those reserves were ready to take all other cigarettes off their shelves and only sell Rainbow products,” Dickson told the newspaper.

Rainbow Tobacco chief financial officer Chad Rice told APTN National News that the company would go to court to get its seized cigarette’s back.

Rainbow Tobacco believes provinces have no jurisdiction to interfere in nation to nation trade between First Nations communities, said Rice.

Dickson told The Eastern Door that the Montana First Nation deal would have created 18 jobs in Kahnawake, which counts tobacco as its economic lifeblood.

Jordan was merely an idea and gleam in the eye of British map makers who unable to grasp that the desert has no border, drew one in the sand anyway, and renamed eastern Palestine, Jordan, based on the river divider. They then appointed Abdullah’s Grandfather, King Hussein’s father, as king of Jordan. That’s the legitimacy. No really that’s it! No wonder that last week, in fear of a Louis XVI style guillotining, Abdullah dissolved his cabinet and Prime Minister and met with the Muslim Brotherhood’s Amman Chapter.

It claimed that Soros makes huge financial gains by speculating against western central banks, in order to use his profits to help the emerging post-communist economies of eastern Europe and former Soviet Union, to assist them to create what he calls an “Open Society.” The Time statement is entirely accurate in the first part, and entirely inaccurate in the second. He robs from rich western countries, and uses his profits to rob even more savagely from the East, under the cloak of “philanthropy.” His goal is to loot wherever and however he can.

  16. Why is it that the Government is so against this tobacco industry? When a company agree’s to be licenced and pays a HUGE amount in taxes to them, why do they then interfer in the expansion of it across the same country they are registered …in?nRegardless of anything else, tobacco has always been a part of First Nations culture and Tradition and allegedly the GOvernments have stated by allowing these companies to be a registered tax paying corporation the right to trade. Then why are they interferring? Yes, we know it goes from a federal issue to a provinical issue, but why aren’t the Provincial and Federal governments in communication with each other?nThis industry has alot of pluses when it comes to communities….usually, the smoke shops and factories employ people in the community which helps everyone, including the Federal and Provincial Governments….if someone is employed they do NOT require to be on any form of government assistance such as Welfare or disability…you would think that this would be a plus to them. In some cases, it even gives money back to the band council system which is used for the First Nations people so that they can participate in sports, bursaries for educational purposes or in emergency cases(in case of a home fire or illness, the fund donates money to the people).nWe hear all the time that the funding that goes to the Communities is not enough, and there may be many different reasons for that too, such as wages to the council and so on, but when we try to make a difference and survive on our own…why do they interfere? There are no laws being broken here, but someone is interferring and stopping us from looking after ourselves.nLook at it this way….Welfare pays a single person approximatley 520.00 per month and disability about 800.00 per month. Out of that amount comes rent, food, heat, hydro…not much left if anything. These amounts are WELL below ANY proverty level for ANYONE.nWhat is even moer bothersome in this is that some will say, well get off the reservation and get a job. Well, as we all know….Natives are not treated well outside that boundary of a reserve, no matter what some do, not in all cases, but for the mostpart.nthe whole situation is sad really, considering we as First Nations people or Indians, Natives whatever you want to call us have always tried to live in peace with others, and agreements are in place with the Crown to prove it, yet those arer not being honored and our Children are suffering because of it.nWe are just trying to put food on our own tables people, is there something wrong with that?nnAnother issue that always comes to my mind is, “where is the agreement to say this tobacco is illegal?” nnPeace and Love

An early method of high-voltage DC transmission was developed by the Swiss engineer Renu00e9 Thury[4] and his method was put into practice by 1889 in Italy by the Acquedotto De Ferrari-Galliera company.

When the application of these laws results in unjust outcomes, or a dispute arises, parties can ask a provincial court to intervene.nnThat is, unless they are aboriginals who live on reserves. First Nations lands lie within the federal governmentu2019s jurisdiction. This means that provincial laws ensuring equal division of property in case of marital breakup do not apply.nnNaturally, First Nations oppose any type of federal control over property rights u2014 in the same way that they reflexively oppose any checks and balances on their finances. The result is a legal vacuum that impoverishes one of the most vulnerable groups in Canadian society: aboriginal women.nnnn

  53. Xstrata’s report concludes that: “The Big Daddy ore is competent, and provided mining and primary crushing is competently performed, the yield of saleable ore as direct shipping lumpy ore approaches 100%. Marketing plans can proceed on the basis of a high yield of direct shipping grade lumpy chromite ore. Further metallurgical test work and project planning can proceed without delay.” The use of the term “ore” in this context is not meant to imply economic viability of the project, by KWG. nnjust go in and dig…. sell some rocks…..nn
