"Irregularities"

That's what Indigenous Services Canada is calling a $28 million dollar boondoggle swindle in how the Saskatchewan Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) spent federal money.

Gee, what a shocker!  I have been raving about this for years.  A forensic audit has found that this money was ineligible because records were missing, shipping and bills of lading not delivered, customs declarations and proof of delivery were non-existent.  So where'd the money end up?  No one knows -- or if they do, they're not telling anyone.

Folks, we all know that fraud on this file has been occurring forever, but because Justin Trudeau cancelled accountability, it just continues to run rampant.  Not all Indigenous leaders are guilty of this.  Chief Clarence Louie, chief of the Osoyoos Band in B.C., for example, is someone I have a lot of respect for.  Rob Louie, who I assume is related to Chief Louie and is president of the Band Members Advocacy and Alliance Association of Canada, is demanding the matter be investigated by police.

"The forensic audit appears to show a reclassification of cheques and other suspicious financial transactions that would suggest fraud under section 266 of the Criminal Code of Canada," Louie wrote to FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron.  "There is still time for you to make things right.

Chief Rob Louie is smelling a large rat.  Good for him!

"The federal government is not the problem; the accounting firm that carried out the forensic audit is not the problem and white people are not the problem," he continued.  "The problem is that somewhere along the way, a culture of entitlement was created that needs to be rooted out of the FSIN immediately."

Mr. Louie has demanded the resignation of the FSIN executive and a public apology, among other remedial actions.

Amen Chief Louie!  What do you think will happen?  Mandy Gull-Masty is the minister of Indigenous Services and she's a Cree, so I'd wager nothing.

My blogs tell you that I am a Maclean-Hunter journalist, trained to pull back the curtain to find out who's involved and what's the agenda.  That's what I still do.  What I have found on this file was, that as usual, we're being had.
