While Canada housing refugees, indigenous population suffering

kazenatsu · Sep 19, 2018

While Canada is struggling to house all the refugees coming in from other countries, this is how Canadians are living in the Far North:

Guess it's a question of priorities.

As a aboriginal Canadian and having spent time on the Samson Cree reservation, I'll just add my thoughts on this.
First of all I would say 99% of the first nations, Metis and Inuit want everyone of those illegal border jumpers expelled from Canada right now.
That housing crisis in the video is some years old.
I have to blame half of the housing problems on the government and half on ourselves. Our reservations are so corrupt. Friends living on the reservations are not shy about telling me what goes on in the tribal politics, the drugs, gangs and suicide epidemics that are growing like cancer many of the communities.
Yes the governments turned once proud and flourishing peoples into government dependants.
But there are signs of hope.

I just sent off a message to one of the producers of that film.

I wonder if M.L.A. Lenore Zann could become interested in this?

M.L.A. Lenore Zann... proposal for NDP and Conservative cooperation on....

..... I feel that her provincial riding Truro is arguably in the position of the proverbial canary in a coal mine when it comes to the threat of rising ocean levels....... which has a possible connection to a quite public plan to devalue the USA petro - dollar........ which could in theory be addressed by us Canadians in cooperation with several other nations.......

M. P. Charlie Angus... sure seems to be very active in attempting to bring justice to some serious situations.

Friends,

This one is hard to write.

This week we learned that the office of Carolyn Bennett spent millions of dollars fighting the survivors of St. Anne's Residential School. At issue is the fact that Justice Department officials suppressed thousands of pages of police and court evidence of brutal crimes. And when we exposed this cover-up, the government responded with a brass-knuckle legal strategy to try and silence the survivors.

I have spent years working with these survivors. It has been an emotionally harrowing journey because these people have suffered some of the most horrific child abuse and torture ever documented in this country. And yet I have been deeply moved by their dignity and determination to get justice.

WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL JUSTICE IS DONE.

Last spring, I facilitated a meeting between the survivors and Minister Bennett. Survivors wept openly as they spoke of their desire to end these legal battles. The Minister assured them justice would be done.

Carolyn Bennett broke that promise. As survivor Angela Shisheesh says, "She lied to me."

These actions make a mockery of the Prime Minister's promise of reconciliation.

I encourage you to email Minister Bennett (minister@aadnc-aandc.gc.ca) regarding her willingness to employ such brutal tactics against the survivors.

If you prefer to send a letter by mail, here is the address:

Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada
Terrasses de la Chaudière
10 Wellington North Tower
Gatineau QC K1A 0H4

Thank you,
Charlie

Yes........ that video is encouraging.......
turning the outside of buildings into works of art is really quite a brilliant way to make
buildings seem more like home!

I deeply appreciate your candor about the corruption that goes on........
but we Anglo and French Canadians sure have some admissions of guilt to make when it comes to corruption:

The right to eventually table an anti-feticide bill is not the only reason why I wish to campaign for the office of M. P. I have noticed that Canadian politicians seem fearful to educate voters about the colossal error made by then Prime Minister Pierre E. Trudeau in 1974 that caused the Canadian national debt to spiral out of control:

The Public-Debt Problem
Written by Alain Pilote on Monday, 30 June 1986. Posted in In This Age of Plenty (book)
.....

I taught English in Quito, Ecuador for over a year and seeing real poverty with my own eyes caused me to become determined to educate Canadians about the flaws in our central banking policy. I did address various aspects of this in all four of my previous campaign writings:

My 2006, 2008, 2016 and 2004 campaign writings as ART.

From 1940 to 1974 the Government of Canada put roughly half of the total money supply into the economy through loans issued through the federally owned Bank of Canada. Provincial and municipal governments could borrow the money to build roads, schools, hospitals and sewage treatment facilities at zero or one percent interest. In 1974 we changed our system and since that time a higher and higher percentage of all government debt is financed through loans issued through privately owned banks. At this time it is ninety eight percent. This policy may be great for our banking sector but it was estimated that in the one year of 1995 alone our federal government could have saved roughly SIXTY BILLION DOLLARS in interest payments if we had gone back to creating half the total money supply through these low interest rate loans issued through the bank that is OWNED BY ALL CANADIANS.

Three courageous Canadian economists wrote the best article on this that I have found so far:
