If the 'system' was handled the way it should be there would be no problems. The governments are corrupt.
I do not agree or disagree with the following I just thought it would be a interesting read for some
I don’t often do this, but as I read that bloggers site I got as far as ….”First Nations are heavily subsidized by Canadian taxpayers”…..and read no further. If someone writing about the Native people thinks they are ‘subsidized’ and does not know it is ‘their’ money…..then the person is truly uneducated.
However, just to be fair I did go back to see who the writer was and read her bio. I found it interesting that she treasures animals and the environment. (rather hypocritical considering she is supporting those who have no qualms about destroying both for money) Then I read the title of another posting by her called Me Heap Big Injun (a totally defamatory title). Then I read another comment by her “Imagine the Indians to be a crying baby.- Imagine the rest of the population to be a strong, well-armed adult.” That blogger’s elevator does not go to the top floor and why anyone would use her blog site as an example of anything, short of ignorance, is beyond me.
Now this is what I call Keeping your way of life well building a bright future
Casinos are interesting. I do not however believe it is the way to go for the Native people and some Chiefs, Reserves and the people on them are intelligent enough to feel the same way. Gambling can be fun….it can also be addictive and very destructive to people, families and societies. It is not something that I believe First Nations people should get themselves involved in.
So you’re probably thinking….”oh Mr. Prude”. You would be wrong, so let me save you the time and trouble. Since the days of high school where I use to shoot pool every night and often for a bill a point (that’s a hundred dollars for the uninitiated), to the countless nights and days I use to play poker and blackjack in private hotel rooms, to the day when casinos came into Ontario and I’ve played and stayed at everyone of them……I have learned two things……gambling isn’t for everyone and those it is not for it destroys their lives......and the house always wins. I did Very well, I always do, but I know a never-ending list of people who did not. I could go into a lot more detail and real life examples, but it would be too lengthy. As for the First Nations people, to go into this line of endeavour is once again just playing into the hands of those who attempted to destroy them previously. There are far too many better things to get involved with in life that are more productive, long lasting and give a true feelings of pride and accomplishment.
It seems to me that it is simply saying It's not working .. Wheter it's what the goverment is doing or it is what the natives are doing it is just saying it is time to find a new way of doing things
If the First Nations people got all the money they deserved from government and big business and if they were not tied down by many regulations imposed on them by the government (Natives can not even start a business on a Reserve without government approval) …..then they would be much further ahead.
You're doing a fine job, brande
A little pat on the head keeps a person in line.
