More that $3 trillion

That's how much money the natives have been handed by Canadians since since 1946.  Actually, it's $3.3 trillion, but hey, who's counting?!  Certainly not the Indigenous leaders, who keep demanding more.

The Canadian money tree, repeatedly shaken by so many.

Has this avalanche of money made any discernable difference?  Rhetorical.  And still they want more under the guise of "reconciliation".  A high school student I know, who was doing a class project, asked me what reconciliation meant?  "Money", I replied.  She immediately got it.

When you hear Patti Pettigrew, founder of the 'Thunder Bay Woman Lodge', say natives are being "nickel and dimed to death", you want to scream and hand her the bank statements of the 'Indian Trust Fund".  Today, that fund is holding $625 million.  And that's over and above the 2024-2025 allotment for Canada's 1.8 million natives, which is $32 billion.  $32 billion!!!

Why doesn't Ms. Pettigrew ask her own leadership for a few clams out of that fund?  Why doesn't she ask her leaders where the money has gone?  Oh, wait, she can't because the first thing Trudeau did when he took office 10 years ago was cancel the Accountability Act, which attempted to compel native leaders to account for the money they were given.

That I don't get.  When I was working and travelling, I had to account for every coffee in my expense claims.  But they don't have to account for billions?!  It's only going to get worse until Trudeau exits because he said the other day, "I'm going to do exactly what I want, now that I'm leaving."  Never mind that, he has done exactly what he wanted -- or what Katie Telford told him he wanted -- since he set foot in the PMO.

Is the Indigenous leadership so incompetent it can't run a bath, let alone a reserve?  Is that why no one knows where the money goes?  Or maybe it's because they simply don't want Canadians to find out.  Patti Hajdu should demand answers on behalf of all hard-working Canadians, some of whom have to decide between rent and food every month.

I wrote to Bob Fife about this and he replied that it was a foolish decision to cancel the Accountability Act.  Obviously, I agree.  But I am sure Trudeau is relieved Trump has distracted us from all this with his tariff threats because Trudeau can now focus on being 'Captain Canada' again.  Do you think he actually might stick around?  Do you think there's a chance the Liberals could sneak in again?

Gawd help us.
