Both monetary funds and we should instead offer assistance in the form of education, training, and social programs

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

 @9GFVHJMfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

they should receive some compensation for all the unceded territory and we should help fund revserves and check in on them to make sure that it is working properly and we should remove laws that restrict traditional indeginous practices (I am Inuk)

 @99XL2YKfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

They should recieve a better enviroment to live in, also have the basic necesities like clean water.

 @96N67MSConservativefrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, and fresh drinking water and more funding. And give their land bank

 @8VRCWKXfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but increased education, training, and social programs are of highest importance.

 @8VMW7J2from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes but have an agreement to where it ends. When is enough enough.

 @8VLQ88Sfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Don’t care.

 @8RSJ9WYConservativefrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes along with education, training, and social programs, and the money should be given directly to each person, not through the leader of their tribe.

 @8RP9TDPfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

We need to get every reserve clean water!!!

 @8PN7HVXGreenfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Aboriginal peoples in Canada should have the right to self-determination who are not forced to rely on government funding.

 @973TZLZNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Maybe not more funds but better funds and creating a liveable life for them still with their beliefs. And give them clean running water.

 @8NSV2FMfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but the government should settle land claims/treaties and allow more self-governance

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.
