we should stop giving natives OUR land and stop doing affirmative action to help them.

 @B2VPNGQfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, and Indigenous sovereignty over land and resources should be further recognized by the federal government

 @8TY2YD2from British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

They should give them their land back and I don’t agree how they are allocated and should be further compensated for their hardship and use of resources and should be phasing out of funding and should be intergrated into society.

 @9FL3CKFfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

They should receive less funds but be given back their land and their art such as the artifacts in our museums that belong to them.

 @8VRG3DXfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, and gave them their land back or pay reparations.

 @8VCNMXYfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

They need a good equal start then slowly phased out when they are able to support themselves and blend into society

 @8V3LJDSfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

No we shouldn’t be giving money to the Native American people anymore. We should help them to be regular citizens. What happened to them was done so many years ago now if we keep dwelling on it things will never improve.
And giving them their land back hurts the people the are currently living there. They need to get of the reservations and be part of the working mans world just like all
of us.

 @8TYTP9Kfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Tax the churches, put the resources into building healthy communities and provide clean drinking water

 @8TB3RV6from British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

It depends on the situation someone is in

 @8RHZ5CRfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, and offer assistance in the form of education, training, and social programs as well.

 @8JV5RYNNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but in the form of education, training and social programs. As well as funding for public education of why we are providing the funding and to help with systematic racism in our country towards our Aboriginal community.

 @8G5PZTWConservativefrom British Columbia  answered…5yrs5Y

Only is they're poor

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.
