Andrew Coyne's tweets on Chief Spence, Idle No More and the AFN.

Andrew Coyne uses sarcasm and snark when tweeting about these issues.

  1. Sarcasm:
  2. Equality at last. @davidakin: Robinson finished fast, went to hospital; treated rudely by nurse in emergency. Has not yet seen doctor.
  3. Snark:
  4. 13 points! @CBCAlerts: Chief Spence lays out new conditions to end hunger strike. 13-point declaration includes housing, education, treaties
  5. Derision:
  6. Insanity. @mdentandt: Harper told by Ontario chiefs he must bring GG to Delta today or major Ontario "corridors" will be blocked Jan 16
  7. I guess my question to Chief Spence is, if the GG can’t handle a simple wampum belt, why do you want him running the government?
  8. Sarcasm:
  9. Glad to see chiefs are focused on practical improvements to people’s lives.
  10. Sarcasm:
  11. Derision:
  12. WHO CARES? @kady: Okay, so latest word is that @ChiefTheresa will *not* be at tomorrow's PM or GG meetings. #hw
  13. Here's Coyne retweeting sarcasm from Colby Cosh:
  14. I'm sure nobody who supports Idle No More is embarrassed that its grassrootsy populist moral leader has a police force she can order about.
  15. Snark:
  16. What’s your first demand?@romeoinottawa: So I now have treaty rights. Lookout!
  17. Here's a retweet by Andrew Coyne of Stephen Taylor:
  18. So was this hunger strike all about gaining political capital before the damning audit was to be released?
  19. Sarcasm:
  20. @romeoinottawa Oops. How culturally insensitive of me. Or is it you?
  21. Snark:
  22. This is now officially a meme. @ValckeNDP: I'm really getting tired of the myopic and uninformed opinions of many regarding #IdleNoMore
  23. Snark:
  24. Good thing Spence staying on strike, 'cause she obviously can't rely on Atleo and the other chiefs to do the job.
