That video is all good for the US natives...in Canada, they don't pay taxes, don't pay for healthcare, schooling or housing if they reside on reservations plus they get subsidiary (monthly) payment from the government of Canada.
With the ever changing demographics of today, I wonder how long this will be kept up? Many people living here in Canada and having their taxes used in supporting the "first nation" people are new to Canada themselves.
And it angers me to no end. You only need to prove I think like 25% First Nations/Aboringinal Peoples/what ever the fug they call themselves these days.
Just about every human race...I say human race because the conquering of people has been going on long before there were countries or nations.
Where is my slice of the pie...I'm of Irish decent. How many times do you think that island was over-run by anybody with a half decent boat.
I'm so sick of all this crying about all the ANCIENT HISTORY. Is it a good idea for anyone to dwell on what happened to "Their People" hundreds,if not thousands of years ago. The Canadian Gub/ment was not very nice to the Indian's (I say Indians because thats what my Indian friends and my adopted sister prefer) tossing them into residential schools and shid like that. How about what so-called Christians did to the ENTIRE WORLD as they ran across it conquering about 75% of the known world with a bible in one hand and a sword in the other. The Romans,the...blah blah blah.
Need something a little bit newer in history...The Nazi's,The Middle Eastern countries...etc etc.
"I'm an' alcoholic and refuse to get a fuggin' job because my Great Great fuggin' Great Grandfather suffered some kind of abuse at the hands of some sort of faction that doesn't even exist anymore.
Krap,where do I sing up? My mother had to quit school at 13 to work in a munitions factory in England to support the family and the war effort.A hard life at the hand's of the German people...at the time...well,where's my fuggin' cheque from the Gub'ment. Can't we ALL trace our lineage back to some horrific events that were not our fault?
How long should we has working tax payers have to shell out for the mistakes that some group of some sort did to someones ancestors?
Where does it stop? Canadian Indians have a case. The Abo's in Australia have a case.The people living in the Americas who got all kinds of sick and dead when the boats from Europe rolled up without an' invitation.
Is there one true people that actually have a land claim they can prove has always been theirs? Was North America not populated by tribes crossing the land bridge across the Bearing Straight? It wasn't their land,they just moved in.
Aren't most of us concurred people? I am. Where's my fuggin' cheque?
Rubb.
