All colleges and trade schools should be paid for by taxes. Nobody should start adult life with debt.
Some taxes everybody should pay, indigenous included. Indigenous people do pay all the taxes when they’re off their land. They have such a beautiful history that the invaders did their best to wipe out and they are still living with the repercussions of today. Inter generational trauma is a thing. Some people don’t finish high school because of generational trauma. It’s a lot more complicated than just pull up your boot straps. There’s so much trauma still there.
You seem to be jealous of indigenous because you bring them up a lot.

That would be nice, but lets look at all those that go to college and drop out. Mostly because they were too busy partying.... Should Cdn tax payers pay for that? Like anything else in life, if you want it, you pay for it. Why should a technical trade have to take a Aboriginal course to get a degree. All universities have that for a graduation criteria, no diploma/degree without it. Pure political and woke bullshit IMHO.

If everyone is to be equal in Canada, they all should pay taxes on income and pay provincial and federal taxes and pay land taxes. This should include Reservations. Its only fair to all the other taxpayers.

Yes mistakes were made in the past, but I still see native art, but their History is not my problem, but lets remember they were at war with other tribes too, so in no way were they peaceful people, they conquered and did bad things to their enemies. If circumstances were reversed they would do the same to us. There is a theory that the first vikings in North America were wiped out by the Aboriginals at the time. The invaders were our ancestors and they conquered the land. Therefore the land is no longer the Aboriginals. But more importantly the reservation lands are still Canadian lands.... caused they were put on conquered land....

Caused 99% by themselves. Parents are drug addicts/drunks, they don't want their kids educated, so they don't force them to go to school to graduate high school. Its to the Reservations Leaders benefit to keep most of their people uneducated and or on alcolhol/drugs to maintain the "whine". Most kids that drop out are raised by family other then the parent or single parent. Successful reservation have banned alcohol and drugs and force their children to go to school. A successful reservation educated its people and helps them solve problems on their reservations. They maintain their facilties on reservations, not rip out 2x4 for the wood fire to keep warm (Don't repair your house and the government will build you a new one)...The billions of dollars they have received since the treaties, the Aboriginals have not learned to solved their own problems. But the one thing they know if they maintain the status quo, they will always get money from the Cdn taxpayers. So what was the money used for??

No I sick of hearing them whinning about their lives, and how it was impacted 150 years ago. The dead children in mass graves (hasn't to my knowledge been proven yet, nothing dug up - just pure propaganda for the Aboriginals) As a people they have no intention of trying to better their lives, but my most important reason is the billions the cdn gov spends on them and gets nothing in return....
Lets look up the word Reconciliation. I some how just don't like it. It assuming things that didn't exist.
the restoration of friendly relations:
the action of making one view or belief compatible with another:
the action of making financial accounts consistent; harmonization:
: the action of
reconciling : the state of being
reconciled
Conciliation:
the action of stopping someone from being angry; placation
the action of mediating between two disputing people or groups
re
Prefix
Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin
re-, red- back,
again, against
The word (reconciliation) makes it sounds like the Fed gov and Aboriginals are going to get back together again. The truth is they never were together.
Politcians should just wave the magic wand, call them Canadians and put them to the wringer that the rest of Canadians have to live with::: TAXES.
I look at the Federal Budget and they get about 1.5 times what the Department of National Defence gets to defend our country. Please note the shit equipment that the Cdn armed forces have and lack of personnel (although the politicians are saying new equipment is coming).
Right now in the world, there is a war in Ukraine; which might spread to all Europe (and nuclear war) and in the South China Sea and the Pacific China is coming more and more militarized and taking over islands in the South China Sea which is not theirs to claim or take. China is threatening to invade Taiwan ( a free country).
Canada most important resource area (the Arctic, Nanuit, Yukon, and NWT) is undefended by Cdn troops. What troop exercises they do have is in the summer. It not maintained all year round. The north needs 5-7 bases put in to properly defend cdn interests up their. To show the Cdn presence. And its fucken cold. You should note that China was building icebreakers 15 years ago, and they don't get ice. Canada needs to keep an eye out up north eh....
So those new ships might come too late for northern Canada.
I look at Canada as Canada, not as some stolen land taken away from the Aboriginals. If you want a better description they were conquered by British Troops and RCMP etc in the 1700-1800s. Instead of killing them, they put the Aboriginals on Reservations. Promised them the world, let them to die, and gave them reservation schools to educate them on English society.
