Perhaps it's time to trim the fat from the top.

The average Native Reserve has a population of 1,000 people. Each Reserve has a Chief and about 11 Council members and school trustees. Add in all the administrators and then throw in all of the Regional Band Councils, Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs and others.
Winnipeg now has around 750,000 people. If we had the same Political system as the natives, Winnipeg would have:

750 Mayors earning $150k

8250 Councillors earning $150k +

3000 School Trustees

Several thousand administrators doing whatever they do ???

Millions of dollars in travel budgets

You get the idea ..... Winnipeg would be broke, before we even turned on the lights !



??? so because they are only 1000 people they shouldn't have a chief,band council etc??
Then by that reasoning Invermere shouldn't have a mayor,town council,school board etc either..


Sure if they want to pay for it, just like I have to pay for my Mayor and Council as I am sure the residents of Invermere do as well.
