I believe that they should get funds in order to get proper housing, schooling, clean water, and rehabilitation services since the substance abuse rates are extremely high in their communities. They should not be able to use that money for casino's, gambling, etc.

 @8VHLQFBfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

This should be decided by the indigenous peoples themselves.

 @8VGNJDYfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but after accounting is reviewed by independent auditors and they should be offered assistance in the form of education, training and social programs.

 @8T823L4from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, we should compensate more, give more land back and offer more programs

 @8SHG5G6from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes I still think the government should give indigenous people funding but also more services and resources to help them thrive in their society.

 @8S6B9RKfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

No, we should be giving them what we owe them and reinstate their rights of landownership in their own community’s, and be away of reservations.

 @8QD4VXZfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but put more focus towards education, training, and social programs.

 @8QD4VNBfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but also have more education, training, and social programs

 @Matt117589Greenfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

No, assisting a population financially based of ethnic background is belittling, and racist. Assisting all populations that have a low socioeconomic background is more productive for society

 @8PJHVBZNew Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

In between, I think money should be put towards education into proper money management and to improving their economy and making more sustainable.

 @9C4N53Jfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

yes, but they should allocated towards education, and other programs instead of their pockets

 @99C5LNMfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

yes, we have ripped them off for over 100 years, this will help provide for long term self sufficientcyu

 @9942TSXConservativefrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

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.
