Yes, but the aboriginal system is in need of deep reforms. Blank cheques and the status quo will not do. Aboriginal services should be harmonized with comparable provincial services and oversight should be mandatory.

 @9RC4NXTfrom Alberta  answered…9mos9MO

The federal government should move to harmonize federal service provision with provincial equivalents and ensure operational funding levels and per capita access to education is equivalent for on-reserve aboriginals.

I believe that they should get funds in order to get proper housing, schooling, clean water, and rehabilitation services since the substance abuse rates are extremely high in their communities. They should not be able to use that money for casino's, gambling, etc.

their goofy ahhs already get too much money and live for free They make fun of immigrants and are fully funded by the goverment they shouldn't have to get money from my l loser guy Trudeau

 @8SHG5G6from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes I still think the government should give indigenous people funding but also more services and resources to help them thrive in their society.

 @8NY4LBZfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

No, and we should immediately phase out funding. Assistance in the form of education and health care will be offered

 @8CS7JYBfrom Alberta  answered…5yrs5Y

Yes, Indigenous peoples should be compensated more for their hardships and use of resources, and a portion of the compensation should go towards educational, training, and social programs, along with the provision of housing both on and off the reserves for Indigenous peoples.

 @99C5LNMfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

yes, we have ripped them off for over 100 years, this will help provide for long term self sufficientcyu

 @9942TSXConservativefrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

 @8LHD8XZfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Aboriginal services should be integrated with provincial equivalents to improve service levels, reduce costs and ensure equality of deliver.

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.
