The Aboriginal Band councils need to be a part of Parliment and the Senate. Then thier voices can be heard, and needs adressed.

 @9VF4YNBNew Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…6mos6MO

Yes, and we give their land back along with assistance in the form of education, training and social programs so they can live on their land.

 @99YGP3Yfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes and the government should stop taking more of their lands. Military action should also be used less in dealing with protests.

 @95HLMBCfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

We need to let aboriginals decide their path forward in Canada.

 @8VHY8W9from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but should be directed towards things that will actually make a substantial improvement in their quality of life.

 @8VCV2P6from Newfoundland  answered…4yrs4Y

Release ALREADY OWNED funds to Indigenous Organizations that show fiscal responsibility, allow them to self-govern.

 @8V8G7TFfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but funds should go to communities. Every community should have safe drinking water.

 @8V563NZfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Not familiar enough with current practices

 @8SPV872from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

I don't believe the solutions are solved with these answers as it's too complex.

 @8RCKS7Gfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, please change this to "Indigenous"

 @aaliyahvNew Democraticfrom New Brunswick  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, and the government should give them their land back. Also, we should offer assistance in the form of education, training and social programs, and abolish the Indian Act.

 @8NMY8K6Liberalfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Take the Truth and reconciliation act seriously, and follow the recommendations laid out, it will solve all the problems

 @9CKJFNNfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only to become entirely independent.

 @8PDQ35Dfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

The systems of dealing with Indigenous issues are fundamentally flawed and need extreme changes to be effective, whether or not that involves changing government funding

CEOs Love Talking About Their Fast-Food Jobs

A stint in fast food is a badge of honor for business leaders who want to be viewed as humble and relatable—and proof that they worked to get where they areBut what does flipping burgers or rolling burritos have to do with running a company?A lot, say high-level managers who’ve done those jobs. Sweating in cramped kitchens and taking orders from hangry diners teach you how to handle pressure and deal with all kinds of people, executives say. Some are eager to find employees who hustled like they did, figuring someone who boxed McNuggets for minimum wage early on isn’t likely to be a quiet quitter.“Any job where you’re on the lowest tier is a really good job to have done in your life because it shows your character,” says Heather McLean, who worked at McDonald’s in high school and is CEO of McLean Forrester, a technology consulting firm in Illinois. “I always took the attitude to bloom where you’re planted so, yeah, I was just taking orders at McDonald’s—but I was really good at it.”Being a model employee is easier when you’ve got bigger and better career prospects ahead. Executives who worked in fast food say they learned empathy and gratitude by toiling alongside colleagues who didn’t have other opportunities and were trying to make a living at or near minimum wage.Fast-food kitchens were long among the few places where future CEOs and low-wage lifers mingled and learned from one another. And because just about everyone orders a burger or pizza now and then, the customer base is a cross section of the American public.

Trump Pivots: "Pease Deal With Iran Now!"

Trump proposes a "Verified Nuclear Peace Agreement" with Iran, expressing preference for diplomacy over military action and calling for immediate negotiations.Despite advocating for diplomacy, Trump simultaneously issued an executive order reinstating his "maximum pressure" sanctions policy from his first administration.The sanctions campaign aims to completely halt Iran's oil exports, particularly focusing on exports to China, which currently receives about 1.7 million barrels per day.Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi responded by calling the maximum pressure strategy a "failed experience" while indicating openness to discussions about their nuclear program.The executive order includes reviewing and potentially rescinding existing sanctions waivers, including those related to the Chabahar port project operated by India.Iranian oil exports had previously dropped from 3 million barrels per day in 2018 to 420,000 barrels per day in December 2019 under Trump's first-term sanctions.Iran currently maintains a "shadow fleet" of oil tankers operating outside Western banking and insurance services to circumvent US restrictions.Oil markets showed limited reaction to Trump's announcement, with Brent crude dropping 1% as traders doubt the ability to completely block Iranian exports.Analysts suggest Iran could become a negotiating tool in US-China trade discussions, with China potentially willing to reduce Iranian oil imports as it modernizes its refining sector.Iranian analysts indicate Tehran would likely reject any agreement attempting to restrict their ballistic missile program, which they consider their primary deterrent.
