no, because how do you know what they are using those funds for? the funds should go directly towards what needs them and it should be used to educate the enitre world not just for aboriginals

 @9SZ2Z7PConservativefrom Alberta  answered…7mos7MO

I think that aboriginals should be allowed to exist somewhat separate from the rest of society, not needing to worry about funds and living as they see fit. If any of them wish to integrate into society they should feel free too,

 @8WNNQGGfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Give the aboriginals 1/4 of the current funding they're receiving so that money can go to other services.

 @8VRLFZVfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

No, continue as is with more support for another decade when they are made aware that monitary funds will be qualitied for as anyone else. They should be receiving more mental, social, educational supports, and better land where they have more access to the economy and support in development of jobs in these locations.

 @8VRD278from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Depends on how bad they need the funds and where its going to be used or allocated.

 @8VPW4LRfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Canada should owe indigenous for inflation on treaty money as the Canadian dollar does not equal what it use to be.

 @8VGXXJ8Conservativefrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

This question is the problem. It's their money they are fighting for not our taxes.

 @8V9G57Rfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but we should not preserve their land and their culture

 @8V4NKBZfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

It's fine as it is. Reparations will take longer to pay and with the residential school system in public eye it would be wrong to remove or decrease funding to aboriginals.

 @8DCHBFBfrom Alberta  answered…5yrs5Y

They should not get anything anymore because they get a lot already they should pay more taxes

 @97RQQ6Nfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

Doesn’t apply to me

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.
