| If FN's were allowed to open casino's - their whole communities would change. There would be bumps and thumps maybe with 'fast $$ syndrome' and corruption, and once that's over and a 'reality' grip of the reins in hand. Life would change for far, far, better.

I've been single mom and taught my sons to handle loneliness with learning various activities- both are fantastic guitar players, chess players, great at archery and rifles, and other healthy skills. All done with minimal amounts of $$ and debt. I took great care r... |

Wow people.  Quick to judgements and executioners role. Wow. Those monies will get recovered by the govt and the band will lose that amount too. It's not as bad as that guy says. The article is good at 'gaslighting' tho and who fell for it? |

| I'm Indigenous and heard many far worst 'descriptions'. A discussion with my sons, nephews and nieces - we decided 'neighbors' is best but then ... we do run into racists and they come in varying 'levels' of extremism - worst is the murderer- but we settled on 'neighbors'. |

Awesome write! ![[flag]](./images/smilies/smilie_flag.gif "Canada Flag") the thanks Indigenous soldiers got from Canada - for my family - 60s Scoop. I lost my grandfather and a few uncles in those wars. I would later lose my bio-mother, not once but twice. She passed away before I was old enough to search for them. |

| If people took a step back and took a good hard look - Canadian society is in decline. The past cons and now lib govts have 'eroded' Constitutional rights of the People. Nobody is seeing that but Indigenous peoples see all of it and where it's heading. Nobody will have rights that protect them. It's... |
