RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:MATAWA CHIEFS COUNCIL ISSUE FORMAL RESPONSE TO ONTARIO GOVERFirst off, I am far from racist. You speak out both sides of your mouth though.
Canada needs to have businesses, people working and paying taxes to provide for others. The Ring could provide thousands of high paying jobs for Canadians, FN's etc ( non discriminatory ) if people want to work.
I agree in some cases the treaties have Not been honoured and this needs to be rectified. On the other hand you say some tribal leaders live high on the hog while members of the tribe suffer. Do you think some of the issues on reserve arise because of this??
Whats wrong with CANADIAN tax payers money going to FN's having a full disclosure of where every penny is spent? If nothing to hide this should not be a problem.
You speak of leaders sheltering their people, stopping them from thinking for themselves. With the ring, along comes money, jobs, education centers,hospitals, cheaper supply routes and on and on. Which would open a whole new world for those that want to take advantage.
Yes I would like to make some money here, much like all other companies I invest in no matter where they are situated. The ROF is a multi generational opportunity for CANADA, not just me, or FN's period.
Federal / prov monies will aleways be directed to the votes period!
The FN's leaders if they truly want to help themselves need lead ,to be pro active, get off their asses, accept the jobs coming their way instead of fighting it.
The enviromental policies need to be adheared to for sure, do not rape the land and leave a mess.
Instead of giving, help them help themselves, but ensure they do help themselves.
My last comment on this directed towards you. Good luck
