We're in trouble. The Supreme Court has just ruled that Metis have to be treated exactly as "natives". You know what that means! Money! Now a few more hundred thousand people will be on the dole, thanks to this ridiculous ruling.
I know people who are not 100% native, half (or more) something else, yet who have been granted status, so how watered down are Metis? How much native do they have to possess to be called Metis and not "native"? Just watched an interview with a woman who is the head of the metis and non-status Indians and it was sickening how un-Canadian these people are. Not a thought to what they can do for this country, it's all about how-much-can-we-get.
I don't know what arguments their lawyers put forward, but they must be very convoluted in order for this to stand. Not a good thing.

Section 31 of the Indian Act plus the next generation and that is it. It took eleven months for me to prove it.
ReplyDeleteI didn't mention names, but I am aware of your status. Would you not qualify as "metis"? I just googled it and the metis are of mixed heritage. Anyway, it means another 390,000 will be receiving money.
