4147...This Indian Thing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am not supposed to call them that. So I will call them whatever they want to be called and I will also stand alone and say that they are not getting screwed so much by the Canadian government and that they historically are getting screwed by their free loading, soft pillow loving, expense account charging leaders.

I don't know if there were any winners in the forming of Confederation but there was one group of losers: Indigenous peoples.

So sad, too bad, a century and more ago. They got screwed. But in the 136 years since the biggest bad guys have always been helped by the leaders of the Aboriginal communities.

Let's try and get your sh*t together for n o w 2012 Chief Shawn Atelo et. al. and instead of whining about days of yore look forward and help your folks. I read in the Toronto Star this morning that "Across this country there are native children who can’t go to school because their community doesn’t have one. Tap water, assuming their home even has running water, is too dangerous to drink. And they’ve never seen their parents go to work because there are no jobs where they live."

The last sentence is most telling "And they’ve never seen their parents go to work because there are no jobs where they live."

Here is a crazy idea but, perhaps your people, Chief Atelo, could do what, for example, everyone else on the planet does: Move to where there are jobs.

That is a starter.
