Interesting about the money going to Las Vegas casinos and cat houses! Who was tracking these expenditures, who specifically were the recipients and how much was spent at each establishments. Links would be more convincing! :lol:
The Dump made that crap up. He has an over active gland but I can't figure out which one. Perhaps his prostate which would account for why he keeps such a close eye on it.Interesting about the money going to Las Vegas casinos and cat houses!

You are asking a lot from politicians and bureaurats. Do you thing they can account for the 60 - 70% of Indian Affairs money that never makes it to the reserves?The fact still remains
however, that we have to have accountability for taxpayers money whether it money
spent on Native Reserves or just for other on northern community living allowances etc.
We should have an accounting to ensure money is spent wisely and within the frame
work of the plan devised by the parties involved
Why is it that in just about anyplace in Canada, if you build a house according the requirements of
the National Building Code, that house will appreciate in value and continue to appreciate as long
as you take care of it.
Build that same house on a reservation and it will be a pile of junk in five or ten years. James Bay
is a prime example. We keep throwing money at these problems but we don't solve anything. It's
time to take another road.
I'm with you on this one, Cannuck, well except for the**** part.What does whether or not something happened have to do with solving the problems that already exist. If people don't have clean water, you need to give them clean water. I leave worrying about the reasons and the history for the lack of clean water to folks like you...that are full of ****.
Says in the link below that this reserve has been getting $50,000 per year for five years. Much of the money has gone to Las Vegas casinos, shows, night clubs and cathouses, one may surmise. Revealing the chiefs income, that'll help, as they keep on spending on whatever. Pre-modern people are not democratic and do not believe in equality.
Bob Rae called this a national disgrace, no it's not. Checking google news, there was nothing about this story outside Canada. Poor people are not news. Like Asia and Africa don't have millions of their own. Not too many jobs in remote areas of Asia either.
Harper vows 'action' on Ontario's Attawapiskat reserve
They got Harper on the hot seat in question period now.

In BC we did outright steal the land and the lack of treaties is a glaring testament to that.
They mentioned on the CBC that putting the reserve under third party management, was "paternalistic". Such a bad word, paternalistic. .
Not at all. The Dump wants to talk about indians, I'll talk about whitey. You have a problem with that, whitey?
The thing is we are trying to turn them into white men and they arent,as soon as those wanting to help understand this then nothing will change.

It would sure be nice if every resident of Canada could just be a Canadian with identiful rights, freedoms, privileges and responsibilities! :smile:
Give it time. Eventually you will come to the conclusion that RCS is full of it. He'll try to tell you how to raise your kids because he's such an expert you know. Then you'll make him look stupid and he'll get pissy. Then it's blah blah blah for the next forever. You're welcom for the heads up.
As for the OP, very few problems ever get solved by looking backwards. That's 95% of the problem with this issue. Most people are so busy trying to find somebody to blame they can't be bothered to look at solutions.
It won't happen until people stop listening to the special interest shrills like CB and start start focusing on actual problem solving. Step 1 is to identify the problem.
Written by the keyboard expert on everything....:roll:
That's what gets me.
We, as in the rest of Canada, aren't allowed to control how the money is spent. But, when it's pissed away, and people are suffering, we are supposed to supply more money.
It's the same with welfare, we're supposed to give people money, but we're not allowed to have any say on what's done with it.
If you want money from the government, you'd better be willing to let them decide how it's spent.
Doing anything about aboriginals in the constitution is like changing the senate, the monarchy/GG, PEI and Quebec/Atlantic Canada's ratio/number of House of Common seats, its very difficult to do anything here. Everyone hates politics, right? So some people sneak in changes that are cast in stone. We need an outside force like an asteroid to change things. That's our democracy.
In the original treaties, very little is mentioned about money, and very small amounts. If billions of dollars can't solve the Indian problem, then tens of billions of dollars will, for sure, definitely, I'm positive it'll will work, no probs, a done deal. I'm on it.
It's too bad you allmost have to shame some to get them to do their due diligence like the govt has sorely lacked in.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOqEY8pUW90
