Anyone who in 1969 actually watched (live) Pierre Trudeau and a young Jean Chretien discuss better ways to properly, legally, morally integrate (not assimilate) indigenous into Cdn society — and then see the absolute rejection of these proposed very generous ideas by senior indigenous leaders — would comprehend then that this rejection was clearly based on those same leaders losing their powers in any such move to give all indigenous a hand-up to the benefits of modern society without threatening any of their culture. The problem is not the people. It is their hereditary leaders who rule (in some cases regardless of modern guidance) as if they are still dictators.
Neither of the two men in the running to become our next prime minister will do more than tinker with this corrupt system. They are both in fact part of the Aboriginal Industry- they both rely on support from it to stay in their position of power. That is why no Conservative voted against the motion affirming that Canada is genocidal- Challenging the Indigenous Grievance Industry is political suicide because most Canadians believe the narrative that blames "settlers" for all the problems Indigenous people are facing. Canadians must learn the truth. Only then will they support change.
When discussing the aboriginal mafia and it's exploitation of it's own people let us not forget that they are just 5% of the Canadian population and the rest of us, which make up the majority of the population, have suffered as well. Of course the source of our betrayal falls on the shoulders of a glad hand, delusional drama teacher / Prime Minister who had the arrogance to assume he knew more than everyone in Canada. Well the proof is in the pudding that he didn't. The solution is as clear as the smirk on Trudeau's face. Let the RCMP do a complete investigation of Kamloops.
The leadership of Canada’s indigenous people have chosen a path wherein everything bad that happens is somebody else’s fault; they have asserted an embellished and falsified residential school narrative, they have tried to sell a totally false situation regarding missing murdered indigenous women and girls. The damage to their young people on a number of levels is atrocious as they are having to grow up with adults that will not take responsibility for their own peoples actions and then they will fabricate and lie non-stop for financial gain.
Seriously, if Canada survives the next 5000 years and I truly hope it does, are we still going to be having the indigenous/aboriginal people receiving special status and benefits on the backs of Canadians?
The treaties were simple agreements that were written by individuals that had no understanding as to what Canada as a nation would become and as such those treaties now promote inequality and racism against Canadians which in time will give rise to a very serious conflict, the treaties must be ended.
Truly, the only way forward for Canada is there to be Equality for All and Special Status and Privilege for None.
The reality is that beyond the greed of Canada’s indigenous/aboriginal industry is the greed within their own people to keep the free money coming that is provided to them with no transparency or accountability. To do this Canada’s indigenous/aboriginal people have chosen a life of self-imposed segregation to the exclusion of all the Races, Creeds and Colours of people so they can maintain a thread too some long lost, nameless ancestor so that they can continue to receive benefits and privileges that Canadians do not. In making this choice Canada’s indigenous/aboriginal people have chosen caste society, a form of apartheid, a life controlled by racism.
Canadians need to ask themselves, is this form of racism something that we want within our society, as the indigenous/aboriginal way does not reflect Canadian values and standards.
The failure of Canada’s indigenous/aboriginal people to understand the harm they do by choosing to live a life of self-imposed segregation that intentionally excludes all other races, creeds and colours of people is the cause of much of the violence and criminal behavior that plagues them. This type of race based isolation manifests itself as violence and criminal behavior that is much higher than any Canadian community.
I know two groups of five indigenous persons who were adopted by white couples. One couple already had two children of their own. These acts of charity and compassion have never been acknowledged by the Indigenous Industry. All we hear are the horrors of the Sixties Scoop. In one case, their parents abandoned a family of nine, and fled to the US. The children were put into care. Four years later a white couple adopted the five youngest. In the other case, their parents were killed by an uncle. All five were adopted by a white couple. It’s unfortunate that these adoptive parents haven’t been recognized or thanked.
The financial reconciliation seems to me surreal, especially the 10 billions $ Robinson Huron Treaty settlement. As part of it, 199 members of the Zhiibaahaasing Nation living both on and off reserve became almost instant millionaires upon the final signing of the agreement. I must say that obtaining the figures for this Nation was very difficult and required complex calculations because everything is hidden as much as possible.
What is certain is that each of the 21 Nations received $175 millions $ regardless of population size, plus an additional amount proportional to its number of members. Thus, Zhiibaahaasing received $175 millions, plus $12,602,123 $ for the population-based payments (according to my calculations), for a total of $187,602,123 $ — which works out to $942,724. per person, man, woman, and child. I estimated — and I stress that this is only an estimate because I found no public document about it — that the members of this community have already received up to $500,000 cash each if around half of amount available was distributed. No other Canadian citizen even dreamed of it, and I didn't find any other country in the world that gave such compensation to their Aboriginal nations.
When we study the history of Indigenous people in almost any country the results seem to be about the same, except for parts of the US where casinos have commercialized the Reserves. Canadian Reserves have the added problem of climate and isolation....nobody can change that.
The only solution it seems, is to eliminate these remote Reserves and gradually bring the residents into the urban world. Canada wanted to try it in 1969 and we know how far that went.
Where humans are the issue it seems clear that some problems have no solution. If money solved all human conditions the Reserves would, by now, be heaven on Earth.
The aboriginal industry is built on a foundation of greed, I assert this because according to the CBC and APTN News, Canada’s indigenous economy is about to surpass $100 billion annually. So if we take the results from the last Census and do the math we see Canada’s indigenous people 15 years of age and older have an approximate income of $55,000 annually. Now this does not take into account any of the financial funding/support and benefits that are provided to them from Canada, AKA the Canadian taxpayer.
While Canadians are subjected to an endless barrage of indigenous people living in abject poverty, it simply is not true because from Statistics Canada we see that about 74% of all of Canada’s indigenous/aboriginal people live off reserve where they receive not only the benefits of living in Canada but also the extra indigenous benefits, which Canadians do not receive.
We have indigenous leaders who are profiting from this; they know that a people who feel victimised will not hold their leaders accountable, as they are too busy chasing the evil white scapegoats. And the white saviour who, because it makes them feel better about themselves, encourages natives to adopt an external locus of control, is destroying those people they claim to love. To create victims is to destroy agency and to destroy hope. It is evil, the essence of a wolf in sheep's clothing, and it destroys families and individuals.

Exceptionally wise words from a former chief judge, pointing out that separate, paternal, ward-like treatment of indigenous people has been a curse.

Very good. Points directly to the insanity that has been happening.

A tribe is not a nation. It would be more fitting to say "band" or "community". Just sayin'.
How is it that people who claim to be separate nations can vote in Canadian elections?

Same way of thinking as “safe supply”. Feed the junkies more junk and cry that they can’t get better. Doing the same things with the natives.
Trudeau reversed that. Now band members have no idea where the money goes.
