who is you? if its me where did I state they have a biased?
what the 1760 treaty means and how it binds or doesn't bind members of the Mi'kmaq was discussed in the ruling. Since you supplied some quotes on that (no idea where they came from) I thought you, might like to read the SCOC ruling I provided since that is the latest specific case on their " submitting myself to the Laws of your Government" which Donald Marshall did. He got arrested and went to court to assert his right under that treaty.
As then Justice and later Chief Justice Beverly McLachlin said: "the appellant [Marshall] is guilty as charged unless his activities were protected by an existing aboriginal or treaty right. No reliance was placed on any aboriginal right;
the appellant chooses to rest his case entirely on the Mi’kmaq treaties of 1760-61."
BTW McLauhlin was one of 2 of the 7 judges that dissented with the majority ruling that Marshall was protected by the 1760-61 treaty which indicates to me there was a fulsome debate on the matter among the Justices and no Professors evidence was ignored nor was there any taint of bias in the ruling.
