      What's the original Cree word for "water treatment plant"? Do you know? Well, I'll spoil it for you- there isn't one, since the whole concept of purified drinking water was invented by the nasty European colonialists you're so mad at...

      ​@@conorcorrigan765 Those "European colonialists " are the ones who poisoned their water, ruined their land and forced them into the so called "civilization" by committing cultural genocide through education and making them forget everything they knew about survival while making a fortune and benefiting from the natural resources, the least they can do is providing clean water and a road.
      Remember those natives were able to survive on their own for generations before Europeans came.

    Canada would love to help them, but, we gotta save all of those refugees from Syria and elsewhere first, right?!
    All jokes aside, the resources that will be spent on an influx of refugees in the coming months should be going towards improving the quality of life in First Nations communities.
    Simply stated, you don't take in guests when you can't feed your own.

      Yusuf al-Kafir - I kind of agree, but lack of money isn't the real issue. It's their desire to push natives out of existence. Slow genocide. We're doing the same to natives here. See, Syria and the middle east represent geo-political interests. Natives? They've already taken just about everything from them. Australia treats indigenous peoples the same way.

Gave em land to live in their tents and hunt and fish with no regulations any time of the year . And it wasnt good enough they wanted houses and infrastructure . Gave em that and they turn it into squaller. Any money coming into a reserve is embezzled by the band and not distributed proper. A typical reserve is plywood shacks with bags of garbage everywhere . Dogs running around . Appliances out in the front yard and a car on blocks with no wheels. Go there to try and fix the water and all theyll do is toss rocks at your vehicles . Absolute impossible group of people to deal with

    1) What happened historically for this to happen?
    2) How is this a Human Rights case?
    3) Why does the community say it is important for them to have an all access
    road (Freedom Road)?
    4) What is the current situation with Shoal Lake and their Freedom Road?
    5) What happened with the 2% cap on First Nations and provincial government
    spending that was to be in place from 1998- 2004 during the country’s
    recessive times? What are your thoughts on this?
    6) The video states that according to the United Nations Human Development
    Index Canada rates between 6th and 8th place as a country, but that First
    Nations in Canada rank as low as 63rd to 78th on the same UN HDI. What are

  • @nirjecimzataby1997
    @nirjecimzataby1997 5 лет назад +1

    Shoal Lake is not "cut off from the world" anymore than any other remote community. for instance, many remote communities built their own roads, bridges and ferry services out of their own fund raising efforts and their own blood and sweat. They weren't offered millions of dollars cash to do it, never mind not going forward when the full amounts of their demands were not filled. nor were any people on reserves "forced into isolation" any more than any other people or persons. If these people had a problem with the city taking water from a lake they considered their's and they didn't fight for it, then they lost it. Trying to demand retribution one hundred years after the fact is not permissible. The kind of notice they got in the newspaper about the development of the aqueduct on the lake was the same as any other legal notice which needed public posting. "One hundred years later some of the consequences" are not those relatively new buildings languishing in disrepair for lack of paint. There's lots on that garbage pile that can be reused, recycled and repaired. Landfill sites can be established and maintained. Underground sewage leaks are also a result of not keeping a septic field in good repair. So you're right, the reserve has brought about its own woes. They might all want to take to heart Jordan B. Peterson's advise in his book "12 Rules For Life". They also need to apply the Canada Food Guide to get those children back to a healthy weight. Why would the floor rot in the water storage building? The roof and sides of the building looked to be in good repair therefore, the rotted floor should be easy enough to replace. Did he say he didn't want to live on government handouts? That would be a historic national first. If they haven't become self-sufficient and self-sustaining in over one hundred years, I don't think a road will bring that about. "If it wasn't for Treaty Three there would be no Canada". What? The treaty wasn't broken one hundred years ago by the Canadian Government. The land was legally expropriated. "For one hundred years the reserve has had to pay for fresh water"? What? The boil adversary had been for the last twenty. That guy really needs therapy. That is terrible role modeling. That breakdown was a form a child abuse in using the children like that for his props. That ferry looks like an "easy, safe way to get on and off reserve." All Canadians, who choose to live off the grid, are without running water or sewage treatment unless they devise their own. $165,000,000 amongst how many people? Is he including in this figure the free higher education, jobs, training, shares in industry profits and all the tax free perks? A 2% escalator for inflation and population growth is not a hardship considering the aforementioned ongoing perks.
