First Nations misappropriation

Manitoba First Nation accused of misappropriating $4.6M - Manitoba - CBC News




Just taking a page from the Whiteyes playbook. WTG guys.

Nothing proven yet.

This is ONE First Nation group, that is accused of this, not "NATIONS".

Once again, misleading headlines make for a much more important sounding problem.

One or many groups of First Nations are commonly called First Nations..............What's your problem with that.?

If you're correct, it was my leader that caused the confusion, and for you to have a stroke. CBC got it right.

BTW, 4.6 mill. is a much more thing, eh. One of those much mores

Endless programs to help those who need it, but the results are still very meager. So most aboriginals live off reserve where they look to help themselves. This is Soviet-style politics that leads nowhere. Money that could be spent on lowing taxes, the debt, or on Canada's space program to improve the future.

Money to aboriginals just looks to the past and as a result, just gives backward results. Suicide rates are 11 times higher than the national average and poverty is rampant.

Not even in the remotest.

Maybe, but then you still have the fiduciary aspect of the contracts.

Because of antiquated legislation, meant to do just that, lol.

Ya, that's what happens when you force people to be something they aren't. Which has always been the single most ignorant aspect of your rantings.

Typical dysfuntion on aboriginals here. One quibbler about an "s" and another saying everything is fine when millions of dollars are wasted. Blame it all on bad laws. No problem. The politically correct say, "You're not qualified to comment. Just keep paying and everything will be fine you little people."

Well, many people, and those who are paying for these boondoggles think that being treated like cattle is not progressive and they wonder, "What if some radical event happened and the money started to be reduced for aboriginals? Would the world end here? No. Lawyers and aboriginals would start to look for realistic alternatives in their lives as any ordinary person would."

No doubt much of this taxpayer training money went to calisthentics in Las Vegas. That's what happens when there is no accountability, which is due to poor legislation, ignorance and fear.

Not just here, but in all your posts.

No one has said everything is fine. But it's not that you're unqualified to comment, you're just seriously misinformed and uneducated is all.

No, but it would get ugly.

Lawyers and aboriginals would start to look for realistic alternatives in their lives as any ordinary person would."

Maybe, but I can almost guarantee that you'd be seeing a lot of aggressive action as well.

No doubt you have no proof of that.

I agree, the legislation is poor, you are ignorant and fearful. But you posted an article about a First Nations Band being held accountable.

Skip the letter issue, do you want an inquiry to find out where the millions went?

Sounds like the Gov't already has an idea where it went.

It says so in your OP article, lol.

Now it's up to the Courts to determine if it was misappropriation or legit.

Thankfully, in Canada, no thanks to people like you, people are innocent until proven guilty.

It's bad but lets keep things in context, how much did Harper waste on G20? This is peanuts.

Next election Harper may pay a price here, no elections for Indians, same corrupt families run things year after year due to taxes going to them. Tribal dictatorships rule in Canada, much like Africa-that progressive continent.

Indians get $10 billion per year from the feds. Suicide rates are still 10x the national average. We all have a good idea where the money goes, to waste.

I didn't know we were paying the Indians to not commit suicide.

I will ask you a question - Would you want to be born as a Native in this Country?
Think on that before you answer.

That would depend in a large part as to exactly where in Canada you were born. Around here they have a good thing going. Or at least the ones with any ambition do.

No picking on where- Just born as a native.

I wouldn't want to be born white in the north either.

Go by demographics- We all know some bands have a good standard of living- Go with the odds.

Sure, if I was born into a family that controlled the band's politics and money and led the tribal dictatorship. I'd be rich and living the easy life. Odds are I wouldn't born into a rich family though. A very good chance I'd be in jail.

There's a good chance that changes come election day too....

Well my grandchildren have no complaints. But like most bands in this area they are fairly well off and have every opportunity anyone else does. I can't say the same for the more remote bands up the coast that I am familiar with.
