#Ottawapiskat hashtag cleverly mocks Harper government

Stephen Harper is having a hard time living off the land on Parliament Hill. He's turned to hunting fuzzy kittens.

That joke and many like it are part of a wave of witty social commentary on Twitter under the trending hashtag #Ottawapiskat. Canadian social media users have a point to make about aboriginal relations in this country and once again, they've made it with humour.

The Idle No More movement calling for increased aboriginal rights has prompted protests country-wide and the chief of the troubled community of Attawapiskat, Theresa Spence, has been on a hunger strike for more than a month.

Now a wave of Tweets is roasting the federal government for poor aboriginal relations and the result has been enough clever zingers to declare a point well made.

'Ottawapiskat' has Twitter users turning aboriginal stereotypes around and applying them to the federal government. Some of the Tweets are funny, others serious and biting criticism of a situation these citizens suggest is critically mismanaged.

One of the most retweeted posts mocks Sun News Network host Ezra Levant.

The hashtag has even earned the attention of Canadian author Margaret Atwood.

Tweets have credited the idea for 'Ottawapiskat' to Aaron Paquette, an artist and author in Edmonton.
