Sure Pete.... You know everything :roll:
He's not wrong in the case of Attawapiskat. The thing that really bothers me though, is from 2006-2011, Attawapiskat hauled in around a half billion dollars from all sources and seems to have nothing to show for it.
They did stuff like tear down their school, (it really did need to be replaced though, it was a mess) but instead of replacing it, built a new arena, paid $150,000 to have a Zamboni shipped up there, and then started whining about how they didn't even have a proper school.
Pete is also correct in that too many Chiefs are using their people as political pawns instead of actually worrying about their well being. Instead they run their communities like their own personal little fiefdoms where your well being is entirely dependent on your status with the Chief and Elders.
