i believe if they are using the funds to grow their tribe economically then yes but if they are abusing this privilege then no

 @96J7SWVfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but make the chief show where the money goes and what it’s used for

 @8YCQ7HQfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

help them with things they need ie clean water

 @8VS823Mfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but we should also be allocating funds and resources to enriching their communities, education and job readiness.

 @8VKGLC8from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

yes but need more information

 @8VGKFLXfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

we should continue to pay aboriginals, but we should give aboriginals the ability to own and sell their land, just like every other canadian

 @8VCSY4Mfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

I think the amount they receive right now are good.

 @8V563NZfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8P8DTSZfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes but ensure the money is being out into the right things

 @8M5S3Z8from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @99VHC72from Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes. Clean drinking water & resources toward recovery of the mass residential Graves.

 @8YSWKR9from Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Aboriginals should be treated as equals and shouldn’t get extra funding, they should have clean water at reserves and should be treated as equals

 @999FLJJfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

its giving a sense of hagiarchy cuase of past problems still bad and should be apologized for but we cant do anything about it now other then say sorry and give pieces of land back and homes for them but they should be able to do work and have a job and pay for their own things just like everyone else.

 @98K7VWHfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

No, equality does not mean turning in favour of the minority and punishing the majority. It means equal for all.

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.
