Price controls on oil at $11.30 per barrel ( current market price is $13.00 per barrel )to come into effect when the current oil price controls run out have been voted on by Congress and have been passed, but President Carter is likely to veto the bill which would allow gas to rise by 7 cents per gallon as he is concerned that the increased reliance on foreign imports by as much as 350,000 barrels per day would not be in the long term interests of America. The current price controls are due to expire at the end of August.
NATIVE CANADIAN INDIANS
July 20, 1995 - Canada
Native Canadian Indians are blocking roads, threatening sit-ins and challenging government authorities, and many believe it is only a matter of time before bloodshed happens. They are angry that Government Departments are bypassing the Chiefs and going to local bands to negotiate treaty rights because they are not as strong. The Indian Chiefs believe the government should negotiate with the chiefs which represent 500,000 Indians in Canada, and not take their fishing and hunting rights by using a divide and conquer strategy.
