How can this be happening?! I see the shady hand of Cindy Blackstock in this. Blackstock is the head of the Caring Society for First Nations Children and is obviously once again a key player in this giveaway. Virtue-signalling Trudeau is handing native bands another $542 million for child-welfare services -- millions more we don't have and the natives have already been given! This works out to approximately $1,355,000 per band -- on top of the billions they already receive!!!
Reading through my previous blogs, I realize this is not the first time about the same numbers of millions have been handed Cindy-and-her-Merry-Band for the exact same thing: Child welfare and education.
What will that achieve? Please tell me! No one asks the question as to why a hugely disproportionate number of native on-reserve children have to be taken into care in the first place. No one would dare ask. Why is that? Just once, I'd like to see a journalist actually follow the native money and go public. Afterall, it's our money, yet only Stephen Harper had the nuts to ask for accountability, which Trudeau cancelled with the stroke of a pen before even taking off his coat when he first walked into the PMO.
And why has the native kinship program failed to care for children taken from their parents? Natives demanded this program, but since it doesn't often work out, they've asked for more money!
What will that do? Nothing. Throwing more money at natives never works. Never. In fact, it is a disincentive. Natives always claim they can't look after their own children because of a lack of funding. That's complete bullsh-t. Apparently, the good money now being thrown after bad is to, "support negotiations with provincial and federal authorities." "Negotiations" always means "give us more money".
Natives need to move off reserve and join mainstream society. They can still have their friendship centres and maintain their own culture -- just as hundreds of other ethnic groups manage very successfully. But they will never move off the reserves because that's how the money flows to them, via The Indian Act. They claim they want to reform the Act, but that's balderdash.
It's all a tragedy for the children, Cindy. Here's the headline from 'The Globe and Mail'. Shame, shame.

p.s. Murray Sinclair is finally retiring from the Senate, but says he fully intends to keep bleating on about how hard-done-by natives are. What did his "Truth and Reconcilliation Commission" achieve -- other than five years wasted and millions spent traipsing across the country, dredging up old wounds and and making sure ancient grievances remained fresh and fanned? Nothing. Volumes and volumes sit gathering dust in some store room, along with all the others. He has one agenda: Native history and how badly all natives were treated.
In fact, all ethnics seems to have one agenda: Race. Before the CBC dumped actual journalists on the 'The Sunday Scrum', into which I used to tune regularly, and gave over the entire time slot to the incompetent Rosemary Barton, I watched faithfully. At least one could hear some semblance of objectivity from John Ibbitson. Unfortunately, it was at times accompanied by the bleeding heart of Susan Riley, for example and even worse podcaster Vicky Mochama (whoever she is/was) and Courtney Skye, from the Yellowhead Institute (another who's that?), the latter of which broadcast from her car, into which she could hardly fit.
And speaking of the unspeakable, can anyone bear another second of Barton? She, like the also CBC-trained Evan Solomon, can't shut up. In asking a question, she first lays into the unsuspecting guest with an entire treatise of her own irrelevant opinion, obviously coaching him/her about what she expects as an answer. As the guest tries vainly to answer, it reminds me of that scene in 'Uncle Buck' in which John Candy tries to explain himself on the phone to his girlfriend. All we get from Buck is, "But....let me.....I didn't.....please.....come on...." Doesn't stand a chance. That's Barton to a tee. Always laughing in the wrong places, plus a whole bunch of other inappropriate noise. Gawd!
On 'Question Period' predictably, Vicky and Courtney ONLY talked about issues from the race* perspective, Vicky being Black and Courtney native. The interviewer could ask a question about the price of tea in China, but inevitably the answer would veer into into the horrors of colonialism and residential schools. Not once did these two ever say anything objective about any topic introduced. Not once. And that seems to be the issue with every public figure who isn't Caucasian. They may start out trying to be objective, but they always slide into race, which in my world renders their opinions meaningless.
But I digress. All I'd like to say about Senator Murray is, thanks for bringing such a positive impact into the public thoroughfare.
