What
if Canada Stopped Subsidising Natives So Claimed, First Nations?
There is a prevailing, well justified, truth that Canada's more than 600
supposed “First Nations and native communities” live off of monies -- subsidies
-- from the Canadian government all other citizens,
taxpayers--Canadians. “Status” First Nation documentation
requires only that:
1. The person “self Identifies’ as being- “First
Nation”.
2. That person can-some way or other , prove(which is highly unlikely impossible without DNA testing-show that they have
20% or more, indigenous native (no requirement as to for how long, or from what
country),self-proclaimed “First Nation” blood line; which of course means—a very, very, large percentage of “First Nation/aboriginal/METIS self-identify
as being so only because they envision MONETARY gain.
This is undeniably, the truth, although it is, none the
less, loudly denounced by many “First
Nation” “Tribes”???.
Such “Indigenous peoples” have been
subsided in Canada/North America for a very long time-since, the days of the
United States of the Americas’, well fabled, Geronimo (“There are very few of
us left”).
Stephen Harper’s Conservative
government have “leaked” documents in an attempt to discredit Chief Theresa
Spence, (currently on hunger strike in Ottawa).
Reporters have, justly, ridiculed the demands of native leaders??? (“First Nation”/native leaders and peoples CLAIM they want justice and
racial equality—when in fact they want non-justice, racial in-equality and special privilege,
for an extinct
people) the protest movement Idle No More.
Their ridicule rests on this foundational truth:
·
It is hard-earned tax dollars of all
other Canadians that pays for housing, schools and
health services for and in “First Nations” whether they live on a reserve or
among the Canadian populous. The myth—that aboriginals and “First Nations”
have-in whole- been unfairly, or unjustly, treated, carries a host of racist
assumptions on its back—justice and fair treatment is not
Special Privilege-justice and fair treatment are NOT gained through claiming that an extinct and
in the modern world, unliveable, life style/culture still exists. No wonder prominent voices like Simpson and Blatchford liken
protesters' demands to "living in a dream palace" or "horse manure," respectively.
·
It is true
that the Canadian Taxpayers control large portions of the cash flow
First Nations depend on—but then, most, being of sound mind, why wouldn’t they,
after all, it is their money.
·
Much of the money used by First Nations
to provide services does come from the federal budget but the accuracy of the
myth ends there—“First Nations” are paid for by All Plain
Ordinary Canadian Type, TAXPAYING, CANADIANS .
If, Canada were to stop subsidising “First
Nations”; IF, we were ALL to adopt the slogan: CANADIAN IS CANADIAN, WE ARE ALL
EQUALLY SO-it would go a long ways toward CONQUERING RACISM AND RACIAL INEQUALITY. © Al (Alex-Alexander) D. Girvan. All rights reserved.
