They are not entitled to any more than any Canadian. All Canadians pay for their own drinking water, so should they

@@paulburton8264 stfи u took their lands.

@@paulburton8264 they’re not able to. They’re underfunded and have no proper way to raise money outside of charity to tackle bigger problems. A proper water pump or filter for one house won’t uproot the chronic funding issues that come to plague education, housing, jobs and hospitals

Native people have the rights to govern their own communities. It's not the governments fault that they are incapable of providing for their own people. If they want the Canadian government to step in and solve all their problems then they should give up the right to govern their own communities.

first nations reserves are under the Indian Act. a law that only applies to them and excludes them from some very important rights that every other canadian has granted at birth....such as access to clean drinking water.

Not "like the rest of us." Most of Newfoundland and Labrador has been on a boil water advisory since someone realized drinking water could be bad for you.

do you know why?

The answer is simple First Nations waisted there money, that they got from tax payers ,on alcohol, now the world is supposed to feel sorry for them. Discussing.

Peter Thiessen of course not like the government just gives them the right amount of money to build it but not run it so it just rots there

Peter Thiessen it’s not a mirror

Peter Thiessen Did you not watch the video? In the video one of them said that the government gives them about enough money to build a water plant, but not enough to actually run it, without a properly working water plant they can’t access clean water. The comment you made about them getting alcohol is a stereotype placed on Aboriginal people, lots of Canadians buy, and have alcohol, but do you think their wasting their money?

Please state your solution.

​@@gregjones5388 My solution would not be a popular one, especially among my fellow aboriginals. It would be to stop taking handouts from gov't. Have all reserve land be sovereign land and become responsible for our own future. The band in Westbank BC owns a golf course and rents land to mall developers. The band in Penticton owns a winery and then there is the band in FtMckay AB that owns shares in the oil industry. These are successful bands where each member benefits from the investment and are made to feel apart of it. Drugs and alcohol are discouraged and the people don't feel victimized. sadly these are a minority and then there are some bands that are in remote locations which makes things difficult, but it would be than the status quo.

Because it's no longer practical or sustainable.

Why sell them a system that does not have people trained in the repair dept. Many times the filters are not on site and the repair guy brings them and the plant works until they are plugged? A community well with drinking water could deliver it to each building in the 'fly-in Village' by wagon or sleigh. They could also clean out the septic tanks and bring that to a treatment site. The ones that sell equipment to customers that they cannot maintain are crooks in it for profit rather than good service that fits their skill level. The same goes for the home they are sold, 5 years later the roof is leaking and mice are coming through holes in chipboard.

Federal spending went up from $100B to $360B in the first year of the plague. Seems like there is no limit to the amount of money that is available when the health of (certain) individuals is in question. Of the $4B Ottawa spent on clean water, all of it went to Canadian businesses that service the equipment as well as supply the parts and labor crews. Of the places that have clean water, there are many more remote villages that will never see their (expensive) systems fixed. Canada is operated at as the same level that France operated Niger at for their bosses at the World Health Organization.

Yes they want no part of Canada but want the handouts.

that council was created by and serves the canadian government. every reserve is under the law of the indian act. which states the government will decide what is spent where, how much and when. natives have tons of cash from sales of land, timber, hydro, minerals, fishing and farming...it all goes into a trust account that is controlled by the federal government. if there is not enough money blame the government. just like if your allowance as a kid was too little it wasn't your fault...it was your cheap parents. plus the indian act makes it against the law to make a profit on any business on a reserve.

Canada's massive wealth is because of natural resources and no other reason. And as everyone knows, not one stone came over on the ships for Europe. There isn't a village or town in Canada, not even a single detached household that is self-sustaining without natural resource wealth. It cost over $100,000 just to install a crosswalk light and that doesn't even include mainenance. $100,000 just for 5 or 6 blocks of pavement. Public Transit/highways roads and mainenance costs millions and billions. We haven't even discussed healthcare and education. Most all Canadians would have to live in high rise apartments for us to even have a chance at sustainability without natural resource wealth. The wealth comes from the Natural Resources and that obviously has not equally been spent in First Nations communities...yet it's existence did not arrive on the ships with the Europeans...it was already here...the estimated resource wealth in reserved lands alone is billions and billions of dollars and that doesn't included shared lands/treaty lands. Polticians need to act like adults and educate Canadians about this myth and tell their supporters that they're taxes alone do not even sustain them. They are not supporting Aboriginal people and never have.

@@benguay7985 cut and paste much

*Exactly.* They're ruining *themselves* and blaming us.

Yes lets go make a time machine and have a fantasy in family guy where indians take over.. . pfft

They can't afford to spend their free money on anything but alcohol and drugs. Not even food for their children.

Canada is also a good country we just have some issues we are figuring out

That you for that long and detailed explanation. Happy Hour is about to start, don't want you to be late. Bye.

Mirror much.

Wayne Gabler thanks I’m on the way

u took their land. stfu

They are the loudest, and they never stop complaining.

@@tesseract2365 Of course. Then when people come to fix things they shoot at them.

There isn't a "conversation", just a one way lecture. When you live with First Nations communities, you see a different reality. In the media...First Nations are stewards for the environment. In reality...rusted bathtub on the front lawn.

You’re too lazy

@@snoaway ok colonizer... Took you a whole month to come up with that witty retort, Big Brain!

buzzy yep only a month but it was si worth it

yer mom

OK settler! You European invaders aren't so proud when your king start taking a bath In the middle of the city you guys treat it like a ceremony. Lmao 😂😂

"Some band chiefs got paid to stay quite(sic)." Sounds like an indian problem.

yer mom

what is a permavictim?

@@pandastylearmy5938 permanent victims. You re joking right??? i hate the way that we re never allowed to say anything positive about colonization. Think about it for a second and i'm sure you ll find a positive side and also deep down inside no one wants to go back to the way we were 200 years ago that includes the indigenous.

@@chais1111 I lost my entire family to genocide. I will always have a difficult time finding anything good about it.

MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Welfare destroyed their self-sufficiency.

@@shauncameron8390 welfare made them to spontaneously loose all survival skills?

@@xenxebra2559 Who needs survival skills when you can just collect a cheque for existing at all?

They are showing old videos

Send in the priests again , they'll fix 'em .

@@wallyoppal Ruthless lmao.

You first, the Indians in Northern Quebec would survive better than the people in Montreal. Turn off the power and blow all the bridges for a year and then compare the results.

@@waynegabler6570 That is a would be a ridiculous comparison. It's not surprising that you would come up with that since Liberals do not understand how numbers work.

@@waynegabler6570 Hahaha, they'd be heading north my friend, then they'll hunt all the moose and drink all the water, chop the trees down. Then after all resources are gone they'll blame the Indigenous people for it.

@@TheWorldisSoDivided While I tend to agree, this video shows that that is not the whole story.
