The federal government sent me my monthly Old Age Security cheque and there was a huge increase in January 2013 from $544.98 to $546.07
Thank you Mr Harper for the extra $1.09 a month,
All seniors across Canada thank you for the extra $1.09
Every little bit heps!
Since we are old, we easily forget. How much did you spend on those F35s ? How does that compare to the extra $1.09 you sent me?
"The federal government provides funding for Status Indians (as defined by the Indian Act)..... [Native money as perscribed by the Treaties but issued by the govenment as stated by the Crown in those treaties]..... through the Post-Secondary Student Support Program (PSSSP). Funding for the PSSSP is distributed by band councils under their own eligibility criteria. For example, some bands fund more students at a portion of the total cost of their education, whereas other band councils give a grant covering all of a student’s expenses."
It is Their money just as a white landlord rents homes, apartments or land and from those rents the money pays for his children's education.
Many Native students also work to provide for their education or part there of, because the bands do not give all students the grants and other students only get partial grants.
Next time you feel a need to pass out information....get all the information.
Who decides what students get full funding and what students don't.
Would a chiefs children get full funding even though their marks didn't justify it and some others with high marks and should get it but didn't because of Band Politics
Who decides?......the band council in some areas and in other areas councils specifically dedicated to helping their young people.
The rest of your comments are pure innuendo with one goal in mind....you know it, I know it and so do others. When you get any proof of your insinuations....let me know.
In the world of reality....I know Native students who received grants and had not even met the council.
Then there are those other students who get grants because they can kick a ball, or throw a ball, or hit a ball. There's nothing like deciding a student's intelligence by his sports abilities. But that does come in handy for the school's trophy cabinet. 😉
To really good part about Native education is the young people learn. Then they become lawyers and historians and then they get to know the treaties and then.....they seek justice.
There's a shortage of Apples, haven't you been keeping up with the news.
Oh and those 'militants'.....yeah they've been all over the place in history....the US revolutionaries and the Irish freedom fighters and the people in India disposing of British colonialism and the people in Africa and most recently the people in the Middle East and the suffering Palestinian people. Those in power with their heel on other people always 'label' those who will not take it anymore.
Many Natives disagree with prior and many disagree with pierre who is right
I think you meant to say “agree with pierre”. But anyhow…….where are all these ‘many’ Natives? I mean it’s easy to say that….but I’d like to see them. Of all the Natives I know….on Reserves (4 Reserves) and off Reserves….I’ve never met one yet who believes that treaties should be negotiated and sold off.
Knowing history is one thing but times change and it has to change for everyone
Really? Well of course those who want more from someone else will always use that as some rationalization.
a True Canadian I think believes equal rights for all Regardless of past present or history
Ah, so you believe that all the wealthy should give up their money and give it to others so that everyone has the same? You then must believe that all landlords who own property must give it to the renters because that would be equal and justified?
And Natives are of many Nations.
Canada is so far in debt
Not the Natives problem. Do you believe that a parent should pay for the debt incurred by one or more of their children (of legal age)? Take care of your own debt that you accumulated. Take the ……………….. responsibility!
but the thing I agree most on is that this is a different time we live in and they need to make new agreement arrangements etc.
Why? Take care of the agreements you have with others and then whatever is left over do what you wish with it. If you pay a Grand a month for an apartment but you ran your own debt up…..do you go to the landlord and say you want a cut in rent? If you live in a complex and you buy another car, do you park the second car in the landlord’s parking space because you feel you need more room and he has it? It’s HIS space!…….find your own even if you have to rent it from someone else.
(I don’t mean ‘you’ as in YOU…..it’s just a collective term)
Masked one
LOL….so what are you……based on your avatar……a ……..?
providing links to things that provide proof of what we are saying.
I simply asked who these Natives were. I didn’t ask for a link (don’t say I did when I did not)….but if there are ones…I’ll read them. In one breath you say to keep an open mind and then when I try….you don’t like it. Make up your mind.
As for my proof….if I can’t provide links because it was people I have spoken to……. I’ll take the person there, take your pick of any of four Reservations. And when you’re there be sure to tell the Idle No More people what your description of them was earlier. If you forget ….I saved the post.
I never said someone could not post from the Sun. That’s their decision. Some articles from for instance the LFP are articles from a subsidiary of Sun Media. There’s a few brain cells left in their offices. But I have noticed as of late that if there is an article about Harper or an article about a Conservative group….seldom are comments allowed.
He, on the other hand, once met a guy who knows a guy who told him what another guy
Go back in my posts and show me where I have ever used that combination….”a guy who knows a guy who told him what another guy”. I’ll even shorten it up for you to “a guy who knows a guy”………… Go for it.
Just came back from a really enjoyable walk. I like the night.
Oh, almost forgot puck..........you may have a Native Reservation IN London. Now you won't have far to go.
The idea is to get more people to do their taxes on line.
Then someone will put the information on an external hard drive and lose it and it will cost more than the taxes are worth for security.
