Who Pressured Whom?

Here is what I think of this topic:

600 native bands get "compensation in perpetuity" from the government . We are carrying close to 1 trillion dollars of debt in this country now, so who is going to pay the bill? Who is minding the store? This may sound painful , but 33% of the people in this country are paying 100% of the bills , and we are bleeding a lot of red ink every minute of every day. We cannot afford to pay these people out , and it boils down to the question of " when does the finger-pointing ever end"? We can't be responsible for other peoples choices from over 100 years ago. Be responsible for yourself , and take care of yourself. The world does not owe anyone a lifetime lottery cheque!

Paint me with any brush you like. But this will only get much worse. More people who don't know how to make money in charge of spending it.
Everytime I look at current school curriculum or go to a school event I grind my teeth. Every event has homage paid first to the First Nations Treaty# we're standing on. **** our forefathers who built the building we're standing in.
This will never get better. Like any abusive relationship, we just keep taking shit because it's 'safer'.

Obviously the issue was native rights. Maybe Trudeau did us all a favor but he was the fool that opened the door in the first place;

So why hesitate now? What is it that Trudeau fears? What do Wilson-Raybould and Philpott know — or could they say — if he cast them out of caucus? Speculation runs rampant, but some scenarios appear more plausible than others. The main one is that SNC-Lavalin wasn’t the starting point for the women’s discontent but only a convenient tipping point. The theory is that other issues — the government’s failure to settle Indigenous land claims, the lack of material advancement on First Nations issues — are really what made them mad. They may have concluded that Trudeau’s embrace of these causes was a fraud, mere virtue-signalling for votes, and they weren’t going to take it anymore.
