It all depends what more comes out in regards to the Residential Schools and any other agreements that have not been honored. I have never been more embarrassed to be Canadian and our Prime Minister, as well as the historical handling of aboriginal affairs and deals is the reason for it

 @9FGMRYCfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes but on their own terms

 @8XVT3H9from British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

If they can do a back flip

 @8VJ2YQLPeople’sfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

I think make an economy for them that they can run them selves and then don’t give them more money

 @8V99PQMfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

No, and replace the Indian Act. The government should not control most aspects of Indigenous peoples' lives. The new act should guarantee equal rights and responsibilities and promote the self-reliance of communities.

No, encourage integration, but it will take time... Education, training and many programs, BUT BEEN so long now, will there be enough jobs? Equality... I would love housing, meds, dental, eye care... I was born here, worked here, paid taxes here, supported my community, raised a family here and am dependent on gov. Pension, as any savings I had goes to ridiculous rent costs, meds, no dental, food jokes, no subsidy towards market value rent, I get no help to survive ad a senior and paid my way through life... Indigenous are welcome to be tax paying citizens who integrate as Canadians... We are all humans

They should have their own representative that hears and takes care of their people. And makes decision that is best for their people.

 @8TX9KVTfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

 @9BCZWQPfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

 @8Z5SZW5from British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

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.
