Never ends

Because of high crime on native reserves, Canada has just handed another $12 million to the Akwesasne band to fight it.  That's in addition to the millions given by Canadians every year as a matter of course.  Here's the rest of the deal:  

The casinos on the reserve rake in $91,781 a day, $944,500 per year, and each casino employee makes an average annual salary of $944,478.

I'm not kidding!

Put that in your "peace" pipe and smoke it!  It's outrageous.  They insisted on their own police force, which we pay for, but the local force still can't -- or won't -- deal with the crime there.

Just to reinforce the mess, the band offices of the Mohawk Kanestake have been raided and shut down for fraud and misappropriation of funds.  Investigators with the Quebec provincial police’s financial crimes unit are conducting searches in the community near Montreal.

The Mohawk Council of Kanesatake says provincial police are searching the band office and the health centre in connection with an investigation into the community’s COVID-19 task force.  Gee, I wonder what that's about?

The Indigenous police were disbanded in 2005, but the provincial force rarely enters the reserve for fear of violence.  So, it's basically lawless, with residents routinely threatened and intimidated to keep them quiet.

Nothing ever changes.
