It is a national shame and I’m sure Trudeau will apologize for it, throw money at it and do nothing else, just like he’s always done (and many PM’s before him - he’s just the latest, greatest national shame, though he seems to actually excel at it).
What needs to be done is for Canada to fully integrate FN into Canadian society. No more $billions sent to reserves with no accountability. No more cronyism among the chiefs and their families/hangers on. No more excuses for the rampant drug/alcohol/sexual abuse on reserves.
“Here is $X per FN citizen, which will be used to either establish yourself in a proper home/community and get whatever treatment/education you require. That $X is it, all you get. When that is gone, you fall into the same safety net/health care/work/live/taxation/existence every other Canadian citizen has to deal with.”
We’re done enabling you to perpetuate problems that should have been fixed 50-100 years ago.
