Time to fix First Nation issue
To the Editor,
Re: First Nations received more than benefits from colonizers, Letters, Jan. 29.
I agree many injustices were done to the First Nations.
But, where does the turmoil stop?
When will First Nations leadership get concrete, final proposals that will stop the financial bleeding that is taking place now?
Hundreds of millions of dollars given to First Nations people over the years have simply disappeared. In many cases there is little infrastructure, job creation, education, policing of miscreants, and accountability.
As a matter of fact, when accountability is brought up, it is heavily put down.
The First Nations situation is like the Middle East – it has been going on more than long enough.
Let’s get everything finalized once and for all and have the First Nations part of Canada, be Canadian citizens or independent, and on their own financially as well.
