This makes me uncomfortable. I think you should refrain from lecturing us what you think the "natives need to learn". That has a long and dark history.
I understood why Indian may have been perceived as racist but have no clue why Native and Aboriginal were also that and now we use Indigenous?
What I was saying as Indigenous is it hard to believe that politicians wether Conservative or Liberal lie to them and promise them things they never follow up on? They do it to all of us. I am also saying there is so much corruption within the Indigenous communities themselves. Just read an article today an Alberta Chief embezzled 1.5 million from the community.
As for a long and dark history It still amazes me that residential schooling went on while my parents were alive. I even asked my sister how could anyone stay silent while that went on?
Again I have said its tough to garner sympathy when you have no sales tax, no AHC premiums, lowest corporate tax rate and personal tax rate, and two school systems
Kenney cut the corporate tax rates and will cut further with pipe dreams it will create jobs. If your already at the lowest rate cutting it more just does not make a difference.
Maybe I am just a grumpy old man sick of waste at the federal, provincial and municipal level
Congrats on 10 K posts and the fact we can debate all this civil
