I believe first nations communities are ignored and mistreated far too often. We should not just throw more money at the problem, but we need to actually ensure we are treating them as equal citizens and providing them with access to clean drinking water,social programs, and other assistance
@8TX4X5TConservative4yrs4Y
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
@9TXBP2YIndependent6mos6MO
Yes, but need to verify through third party audit being received and spent to benefit of all aboriginals, or as intended when the funding was provided.
@9FGMRYC2yrs2Y
Yes but on their own terms
@8XVT3H93yrs3Y
I dont think abortions should be legal
@8VVB4W84yrs4Y
If they can do a back flip
I think make an economy for them that they can run them selves and then don’t give them more money
@8V99PQM4yrs4Y
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.
@8V7LS654yrs4Y
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
@8TY9VLT4yrs4Y
They should have their own representative that hears and takes care of their people. And makes decision that is best for their people.
@8TX9KVT4yrs4Y
No they get enough they need help managing better
@9BCZWQP2yrs2Y
Only when and where it is needed.
@8Z5SZW53yrs3Y
we shouldn’t pay them anything but we should move them off the reserve’s or give them clean running water on the reserves
