Yes, they should and we should give them their land back completely. We should also repeal the racist Indian Act.

Yes, the government should give them their land back and abolish the Indian Act, as it is outdated and racist.

 @8YZ5BBCNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes given them their land back, work with them not for them. Also do not use the word aboriginal!!!

 @8XCDZYTfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, as they are the first people to inhabit this country.

 @8V95QN2from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, they are the First Peoples to inhabit Canada, they should be treated as such, we should give them their land back 100%

Yes, they should be further compensated for racist crimes committed against them, we should give them their land back and abolish the racist Indian Act as they are the first peoples on this hemisphere.

 @8Q5CJW3from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, they are the first people in Canada so they are citizens.

 @8PYXCGLfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, they are the first-ever citizens of Canada, so they should receive more funding and we should repeal the racist Indian Act and give them more jobs in government and encourage them to run for public office.

 @8P4P98Sfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, and give their land back to them and abolish the racist Indian Act. They are the first people on the Western Hemisphere or American Peninsula, so we should take advice from them too.

 @8KLHHQYfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, we should and also give them their original land back and repeal the Indian Act as it's racist and also we should consider them true Canadian citizens as they are the first ones to ever be on this land

 @8HDGVYCfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, they should and we should gradually phase out the racist Indian Act. Don't call them Indians they are First Nations. I feel they are the first-ever citizens of this country and we should give them their land back in the form of a ethno-Province.

 @8D4X4PWfrom Ontario  answered…5yrs5Y

Yes, they should also receive reparations and compensation for how they got treated a long time ago.

 @8VHG65Bfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Give them their land back, give them and the blacks more political roles after proper training and integration of their own political ways and beliefs, compensate them along with the blacks.

 @8DC736Tfrom Ontario  answered…5yrs5Y

Yes, they must be given reparations, their land back, their original language, traditions, dances and we need to go further and repeal the racist Indian Act, which means government control of indigenous lives. The Indian Act is unconstitutional and violates their right to exist.

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.
