I can't even bear to type the numbers

I'm talking about the offer the federal government has made to the natives for a child welfare deal.  It's....wait for it.....sit down.....$47.8 b---ion!%@#$#!!%@#

Firstly, why are natives given more money to look after their own children???  The 1.8 million Indigenous souls are already given billions and billions, so why an extra $47.8 b---ion piled on top of that??!!

And for icing on the financial cake, that doesn't include a separate $23 BILLION to compensate 300,000 children who were "torn" from their families and put into foster care as a result of "discrimination".  That's a total of $70.8 BILLION!!  Let that sink in, if you dare, as you walk by a homeless Canadian struggling in squalor on a city street.

Again, my question is why do we need to give HUGE sums of money for on-reserve child welfare??!!??!!!!!  Looking after children is the responsibility of parents, not the rest of us -- at least it is in normal societies.  You have the kid, you look after it.  

Naturally, the chiefs gathered in Calgary for the national assembly voted it down.  Not enough.  "This is the first offer.  We can do better," said Mary Teegee of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society.  "We voted against it because we think something better is possible," said Squamish Nation chief Khelsilem, looking the gift horse in the mouth.  Wonder what Pierre Poilievre will offer?  Exactly.  The CBC isn't the only gang that should be shaking in their boots when he takes over.  

The Canadian money tree, according to the natives.

AFN Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak says, "There are some shortfalls in the deal and it doesn't go far enough.  This is an opportunity for a reset to ensure all First Nations kids succeed."  Not far enough!!!!!!  Are you kidding me??!!??!  And by the way, how is this windfall going to ensure "all" native kids succeed?  Throwing more money at natives has done little to improve their lot.  That's an internal job.

As one of my status friends said to me the other day, "Stop giving us money and let us get off the reserve!"  Fat chance.    

Just look at the stats for kids being taken into care because of abusive, or inadequate, parents.  That'll tell you how well money is helping families.  With more than 400 chiefs, and as many hereditary chiefs, you'll have 800 different opinions.  That's why the AFN was created in the first place, to give one voice to negotiations on behalf of all tribes.  Evidently, the chiefs don't support Ms. Nepinak.  Because she's a woman?  Undoubtedly.      

Jennifer Khurana is the chair of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal -- the gang that said native children were being discriminated against and a financial settlement needed to be reached.  Evidently, Ms. Khurana sees injustice wherever she looks.  Of course she does.  That's her job and that of every member of the biased  tribunal.  (Just look at their backgrounds, if you don't believe they are inherently biased.)

It's an outrage.  As I said, use some of the billions given by the hobbled and beleaguered Canadian taxpayer to look after your own children.  Remember the baby bonus?  Ya, my Mother got $5 a month.  She did fine because she and my Father supported their own children.  Maybe mothers of the fifties and sixties should sue for discrimination?  I mean, why not?
