trudopes apology

[samhill]

What an embarrassment he is. BTW, I had no involvement in it and none of my family had.

The reservation system is a mess. The hope was many years ago integration will help and if you educate people, they will try to better themselves. Most that get a practical education succeed. If you walk around as a victim, then you will never succeed. Our first PM. thought the protestant work ethic would take over, hence the residential schools. It is a different culture you are dealing with. These values do not hold true across cultures. Why are the ex-british colonies appearing to be doing fine on average across the globe (except Islamic ones), while the Spanish and German did not? Because every culture values different things. The middle east will always be a disaster. no need to import those problems while Canadians have their own issues. The welfare state will collapse in 50 years if we are not careful. Our own inability to deal with our natives should be a cautionary tale for us and we should model our immigration policies to allowing in people willing to integrate. We have enough jackasses that are born here already.
We signed a deal with our natives. The treaties must be honored, or renegotiated. That is what Justin should be focusing on and spending his millions on. His crocodile tears will not help.

Yep Nicholas, the reservation system stinks to high heaven. The chief's family runs the show and controls millions of dollars from Ottawa. Those registered on that reserve have no right to any information, or home ownership and are at total mercy of one chief. If they don't like the way things are going, they can leave with nothing, can't even take an STC bus and head for the city to try to make it on their own. What political party has the balls to rewrite the Act and give them a start? Is it up to us to push for change in order to help these people - can we be the catalyst for change? Will our two generations put our heads together and say, "we ain't gonna allow this to go on under our noses?" I feel that I owe more to them than all these new immigrants piling in.

Chretien came the closest before becoming pm

Most of what see see here is for one purpose, buying votes.
Harper brought in The Transparency Act to show all finances used through Indian Bands. This was a step in the right direction.
Since this was brought in by "mean" Harper this means Trudeau eliminated this with lots of appreciation from Indian Band leaders and bureaucrats. The average band member will suffer because of this.

As far as the MMIW investigation this is another farce. The answers to who is doing the crimes has already been revealed in RCMP reports and studies. (Facts likely don't match the narrative though.)

The most racist thing that is being done in this country is the lowering of expectations for a group of people.

.....like drug and alchohol abuse and same race violence or the high risk lifestyle of prostitution?

There....someone said it!

Now what can be done to change these scourages of any segment of society?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Newfoundland wasn't included in that apology and this was for those people.

Yes I know that. And also that only people from 1949 up to 1981 can claim compensation.

I was too obscure.

Don't you find it odd that the Liberals have ran this country for about 75% or more of the last 150 years and yet IT TOOK A CONSERVATIVE PM to make the apology first in 2008?

Which is why I had to point out what a great PM Harper was.

Now PM Neveready, the drama queen is trying to appear he cares.

I dunno why the Liberals refused to do that. Maybe it was because the Liberals are known as the Catholic party and didn't want to admit to the abuses going on in their domains.

Interestingly, the 5 towns listed with residential schools have about 6000 people total population now.
Curious to see how many apply for it.

Why doesn’t our drag queen cry again and give farmers the billions we lost with the gov taking our grain for the war
