He won't be able to. He is the kind that is interested in keeping everybody but themselves is the dark as much as possible. They all share the same tell-take methods of trying to close a topic down rather than exploring it further.

I just want to know the truth. I respect everyone's POV. What do you think about this?

The tribal units were spread to far apart and to small to be supported, they were gathered together so that more services could be offered with fiscal responsibility that is all, no conspiracy theory here

I am mortified that this happened! I thought the residential school situation was bad enough but this seems rather cruel as well. Why was I not aware of it as I certainly don't recall hearing anything about it in school, that's for sure. Learned something new today!!

They left a few other things out as well, none of it is very pretty. I wonder how many people have met the enemy only to discover it was a lot closer to home than is 'comfortable'?
The good news is strangers learned to live together, the bad news is that will not be used to help other places in the world. Even better news is to fully fix the isolation part all they need is video phones. You can bet your last dollar that is the last thing the Government and their bosses want them to have.

New mining projects, particularly in the gold sector, are expected to drive strong economic growth in Canada’s far north, with Yukon and Nunavut surpassing the rest of Canada by 2020, a new report shows.
According to The Conference Board of Canada’s latest Territorial Outlook, the nearby Northwest Territories (N.W.T.), however, face challenging times as the diamond industry there matures and production of precious stones is forecast to fall over the next six years. Yet the N.W.T is set to benefit from the growth the mines in Nunavut and the Yukon will bring, mostly in other areas of the economy, with growth in services-based industries remaining flat for much of the forecast.
“While the mining sector has been more cautious in this upswing cycle than in the past, there are still several mining projects that are advancing through the approval process and will bolster economic growth and employment opportunities in the northern territories over the next few years,” said Marie-Christine Bernard, Director, Provincial and Territorial Forecast, The Conference Board of Canada.
Fuelled by the construction and operation of new mines, economic growth in the territories as a whole is forecast to average 4.7% in 2019 and 4.5% in 2020 — easily outpacing the forecast Canadian average of below 2% growth.

Regional Distribution of Mineral Resources

Canada covers nearly 10 million km2 and has six main geological regions, each with its own characteristic features and resources. Five of these regions and their respective mineral resources are discussed here. The sixth, Canada’s continental shelf, is a source of oil and natural gas.
Canadian Shield
The Canadian Shield is made up of Precambrian rock and underlies about half the total area of Canada. This vast expanse of ancient Precambrian igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks, glacial overburden, forest and muskeg has been Canada's leading source of precious and base metals. The area has large amounts of base metals, gold, iron ore and uranium. Because of its large size and favourable geological features, the Canadian Shield has ongoing potential for the discovery of many additional mineral deposits.



Innuitian Orogen
This region, which lies primarily in the Arctic Archipelago, is underlain mainly by folded and gently dipping sedimentary rocks. The older limestone of the Cornwallis Belt contains zinc and lead, including the rich Arvik deposit on Little Cornwallis Island, Nunavut. Other minerals, including rock salt and gypsum, have also been identified in the region but are not currently economic to mine in such a remote location.



https://geology.com/articles/canada-diamond-mines/
Diamonds in Canada?

Throughout the 20th century most people would never have thought about Canada being an important producer of diamonds. [1] Most people's knowledge of diamonds was fixed on mining operations in Africa and diamond trading centers in Europe.
All of this started to change in 1991 when two geologists, Chuck Fipke and Stewart Blusson, found evidence of diamond-bearing kimberlite pipes about 200 miles north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. One of these pipes was developed by BHP Billiton into the EKATI Diamond Mine, which produced Canada's first commercial diamonds in 1998.


https://business.financialpost.com/commodities/mining/arctic-has-great-riches-but-greater-challenges
At the rim of the Arctic Circle in Canada, gold mining firm Agnico-Eagle is learning how tough it is to operate in a remote region with temptingly large, but frustratingly inaccessible, reserves of oil, gas and minerals.
Commentators rarely mention nightmarish logistics, polar bears and steel-snapping cold when they confidently predict that as the Arctic warms up, melting sea ice and shorter winters will open up the expanse to exploration.
But the rosy words obscure the reality of working in an icy wasteland that stretches across Russia, Scandinavia, Alaska and Canada. And rather than making life easier, the warming of the Arctic and the thawing of its permafrost could make operating here even more complicated.

A closer look at the far northern Canadian territory of Nunavut, one of the most promising areas for exploration, reveals challenges so huge that the Arctic may well turn out to be a niche market where big firms with a serious tolerance for risk and adversity develop a handful of major deposits.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It is remarkable how many things can be blamed by MHz on Jews!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Why is it the world has not turned on them centuries ago and limited their power?????????????????


Do Jews have that ability to cloud men`s minds????????????????????????????



Or is it only the tinfoil hat that MHz so often wears that hs such power to cloud and confuse???????????????????


Youngstudent and MHz would be a whole lot FUNNIER if they were not actually SERIOUS about this delusional CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!


AND VOTING in our elections as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most northern communities are led to believe that new mining developments will create new job opportunities and profits for local industries. But this has not happened with the Raglan Mine on the Ungava shores of northern Quebec. This is only one example where the training programs did not achieve expected results. The underlying cause lies with centuries of inadequate educational opportunities for children raised in northern Canada's indigenous communities, compared to Greenland and Alaska – largely due to lack of government interest or funding. As Mary Simon can better explain, the degree of catch-up required for Inuit to fully participate in the Arctic's new economy is enormous and has been thwarted by the federal government's continued reticence to provide sufficient funding for education.
The Raglan Mine has also prompted social problems, exploitation, and discrimination. The use of skilled workers from southern Canada (or from abroad) creates social and cultural problems – more so if foreign workers are involved. The impact of a major influx of foreign workers on small, predominately indigenous communities has been the subject of much discussion in Greenland.



In essence, the promise of benefits from major new developments has placed the cart before the horse for local communities. Should the federal government offer to transfer all the money acquired from exploratory licenses and royalties to the territorial governments and Makivik to upgrade the infrastructure needs of each community and accelerate learning opportunities for all ages, northern communities would have a far better chance of gaining benefits. Even then, the catch-up time needed will be considerable.
One cannot and should not ignore the potential economic benefits of new mineral and energy developments in northern Canada, but local communities must be a priority. A tendency to push for speedy development should be replaced with a policy of restraint to allow time for the northern communities to develop sufficient basic infrastructure and education in skilled trades to allow the inhabitants to fully participate in the new economy. Investment in mineral and fossil fuel extraction will not foster local independence on its own – investment in the needs of northerners must come first.

We are not a northern nation, and we need to stop lying to ourselves that we are.
More people live in Moose Jaw than live in the Yukon. Compared to other Arctic regions, Canada has done so little to develop its northern economy that it is now rivalled by the tiny Faroe Islands. There’s still no four-season road to our Arctic shores. The only railroad is falling apart. There’s no longer a port, and it’s easier to fly to Africa than it is to Nunavut.
Canada needs to stop pretending that it cares about the North. Decades of false rhetoric has created expectations among those few who do live up North that someone “has their back.” No one does. They’re on their own and they have been for generations. We tell the world the North is ours, that we are protecting our sovereignty and our vast mineral wealth. But the truth is we aren’t, and those resources are so far from the nearest railhead they may as well be on the moon.
It is often remarked that 90 per cent of Canadians live within a short drive of the U.S. border. But that fact doesn’t properly illustrate how far we are from the North. Regina is on a more southerly latitude than Amsterdam. Montreal is south of Venice. Toronto, transposed to the Mediterranean shores, would sit near Monaco.
Of course, no one would suggest the Milanese can teach Calgarians how to manage a blizzard. But it helps illustrate the undeniable truth that while the atlas claims our nation stretches 5,000 km from Niagara to the North Pole, our true country, the land on which Canadians actually live, where we work and invest, and the land we defend, remains a thin strip of territory pushed as far south as we can get.
The North, where the Canadian Rangers supply their own vehicals. (Photo by John Miles / Rex Features)

How many Canadians actually live up north? Approximately 118,000. That’s one-third of one per cent of the national population. To put it another way, about as many Canadians live in Australia as live in Nunavut. If the entire population of the Northwest Territories decided to attend an Edmonton Eskimos game, Commonwealth Stadium would still have 10,000 empty seats.
Not only do we not live in the North, we don’t visit either. A study commissioned by the Churchill Northern Studies Centre in 2011 found that only 14 per cent of Canadians had travelled to Canada’s North even once.
This should be no surprise. It is cheaper and easier (and usually faster) to travel almost anywhere overseas than it is to visit the Canadian Arctic. There is only one train to the North, travelling on tracks so old and so worn out, it can only manage an average speed of 28 km/h on its way to Churchill.
Seventy-four years after the completion of the U.S.-built Alaska Highway, there is still no four-season road to Canada’s northern shores (just promises there will be soon). You can’t sail either. Our only northern port, in Churchill, closed last month. Which leaves flying. But flights are few, and ridiculously expensive. Want to travel from Toronto to Iqaluit next week? $3,087. Khartoum? $1,500. Bangkok? $1,000.
The sheer difficulty of getting there helps partially explain why the Canadian North is so completely undeveloped. If you define this region as including the Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, the shores of Hudson Bay, northern Quebec and Labrador, it contributes about $10 billion to the national GDP, or about one-third of one per cent.
By comparison, the Arctic regions of Norway, Sweden and Finland are each 1/30th the size of Canada’s, yet each of their northern economies are triple the size our ours. In fact, according to data collected by the Finnish economist Ilmo Mäenpää, the Canadian Arctic makes up approximately one-quarter of the circumpolar region, yet our economic production there accounts for less than two per cent of that entire region’s aggregate economy.
Unlike Russia, Greenland, Iceland and all other northern regions, there is no fishing industry (no ports for trawlers, no transportation to markets). The same lack of infrastructure means there is no resource processing like you find elsewhere in the circumpolar world. Which leaves only some mining to prop up Canada’s tiny northern economy.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


WHAT A COLLOSAL LIE-BERAL MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Youngstudent and MHz- both charter members of the tin foil hat brigade- are feeding each other Fake News!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Youngstudent is pretending not to be aware that Atiwapiskat band council got $40 million dollars from diamond mining company De Beers in exchange for mining industrial grade- meaning for drill bits and saw blades- diamonds on the Hudson Bay Lowlands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



That $40 million was added to the $105 million that Harper govt gave to Atiwapiskat council for building houses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And the 1500 inhabitants of Atiwapiskat PISSED THROUGH THE ENTIRE $150 million dollars without building a single house!!!!!!!!!!


And best of all - Atiwapiskat council DID NOT HAVE A SINGLE RECEIPT available to show what happened to the money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


When Harper govt began asking awkward questions- Atiwapiskat chief Teresa Spence basically told them to piss off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


When Harper Govt retaliated by cutting govt grants to the band- Spence flew to Ottawa to go on a hunger strike until Harper started


"showing respect for natives and rebuilding their trust in govt"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Anybody who still thinks natives are innocent victims of white bullies has NOT been paying attention!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It has been 20 years since one northern band hired an expert to study their timber resources and produce a report on what sort of profit they could get from selling timber rights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The report by the respected expert was accepted and the bill presented!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


BUT NATIVES DID NOT PAY THE BILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The expert SUED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Or tried to anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Then the timber expert found out the hard way that natives living on a reserve CANNOT BE SUED BY WHITE MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This arcane law is a hold over from the ancient days when natives did not speak or read English and needed protection from unscrupulous white con artists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Too bad the shoe is now on the other foot and Cdn tax payers NEED PROTECTION from native CON ARTISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And Cdn tax payers also need protection from LIE-berals working along with native con artists- to BUY VOTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Our idiot Boy and his LIE-beral losers have dropped the requirement -specified by Conservatives - that band councils should post all expenses online so auditors can see easily where OUR money is going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If such a requirement had been in place when Atiwapiskat got that $150 million dollars for housing then there WOULD HAVE BEEN HOUSES BUILT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Our idiot Boy and his loser LIE-berals are ENCOURAGING native corruption!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$40M is what percent of the value of the mine, 20% is the going rate and the Jews that own that company are more likely to kill off the people that make them rich. They could have paid the $400M as the money was stolen back anyways. Welcome to the world of how Jews run their business interests.


Are you suggesting they spent $150M and no material things can be found. Sound like the Lawyers made a killing. You can be sure I'll be posting more about how the Indians robbed themselves.


Apparently the 'expert' didn't know his shit, why should he get paid??


This is make an excellent thread all by itself, business section, pay off the leaders so the bulk of the people get fuk all. You are actually proud to belong to the collective that operates by these methods.

20 pages of material from the links, bit longer than I thought it would be. Thanks for showing me that going point by point is the best way to show if a retard is driving the bus or not. There are about 6 links from google that are in a row, that work for you??
I have their search algorithm running the slot machines as well, you have to be able to drink salt water without making a face to use those results as 'mileage will vary'.

These articles show the anatomy of how people are promises all sorts of riches yet when the short term business shuts down the locals are poorer than they were before as well as having a hole that should be fences off and used as a toxic dump for stuff from the south. I assume that rock is 'crack free' and will remain so for a long time. Winter road access only and having the place remain ice all the time wouldn't hurt things. Ducks don't land on ice when a lake is available.


You can see the additions will be adding a page or two to that. It will be a few hours before I soon the wheel to see which one is 1st.
