Should Canadian aboriginals receive more government funds?

I think we should give more funds to improve their communities and put some funding into assistance programs

no cause all lives are precious. instead use that money to take care of the child and the goverment should provide funds for the upkeep of the child.

I feel that rather than spendning so much tax payers money, the government and indeigenous people should come to an agreement, instead of treating them like theyre different, include them. The government should still pay them just not so it hurts other people finacially.

Allocated funds should be given in terms of reoperations and support based on regulations in their life, ie. Insurance.

no because do you see most of them getting jobs im not trying to be racist or anything but most people who own houses are paying for them just to spend on drugs

Yes, although I believe that some of the funding should be put towards the forms of education, training and social programs, with only a part of the money going to monetary. I also believe that Metis, and non-status treaties people should also benefit from this funding as well.

Yes AND offer assistance in other forms (education, training, social programs)

I do not believe that the aboriginal people should get more funds as the community is starting to get dependent on the government, which is not good for Canadian government and even the aboriginal people.

There is considerable disparity amongst First Nations in terms of readiness to self govern, however many do have the human and social resources to succeed, making it beneficial for those groups to form a mutually agreeable method of development, and sharing to level the playing field to achieve success without the penalty of widening inequality. Non native Canada should partner financially but then step back.

All aboriginals, relatives, and all involved should meet, discuss a 1-time reparations fee, and implement either a lump sum or payment plan so as to do away with this issue, since it’s causing more harm and hatred then it’s causing good.

No, they should have equal funds of our society as citizens

Yes, government should lend funds to those communities that need it the most starting with those peoples basic needs. Improve funding for education, training, social programs, and raise wages for aboriginals as an incentive to work. Remove the welfare program

No, The government needs to hold there treaty obligations to todays standard and treat reserves like any other city help get clean water and power etc.

Yes, The treaties need to be honoured and promises need to be kept up to todays standard of living rather than what is literally on the treaty.

We all need to be treated fairly.

Yes, but only for specific issues.

why are we using taxpayer money on people who are going to use it on something like a toy why dont we use it on military funding

Yes, but as with any independent agency receiving taxpayer funding, they should be willing to provide data as to who is benefitting and how.

No, they should be funded as much as we are.

They have every possible chance to flourish in this nation and more. They don’t need more money. It only makes the problem worse and you damn well know it. Your imprisoning them ever longer and showing them a total lack of respect. They are perfectly capable human beings and just need to be educated in a certain way. Throw a rich dad poor dad book at them watch them flourish. Educate your people and yourselves in finance and you are soon to be very wealthy. Enough hand outs!!!

i dont now

I really don’t know much about this topic, so I don’t feel with the freedom to talk about it

Yes. And land. But each place has their own issues and require different responses. First Nations, Metis, and the Inu should be treated as an autonomous government in partnership with federal government.. making up Canada.

Yes but, government should focus more on offering assistance in the form of better and free education, training in all regards, and social programs.

No, they should be treated as any other person of society

Yes, it was their land first.

No, natives are just as equal as rights and its not fair how they get discounts on everything

Every one should have the same funds.

No, they are being given enough. Right now, the Canadian government is giving away millions, even possibly billions to first nations and thing is, the Europeans and tons of other countries before just wiped other tribes and nations off of the face of the earth which the first nations were lucky that it did not happen to them. I think that we should be treated equally.

no but only so they can be equal as they like maybe a few more dollars but no more

No, but their right to self-determination should be supported, including the return of all unceded territory.

never ever ever they can work for there money.

Yes, but more detailed criterion for spending should be set in place, with a stronger emphasis on programs that will improve their quality of life.

Yes but funding should be based on protection of families to stay together. Prevention of addiction and sexual abuse.
