Oh, look here. Corruption connected to Native-government initiatives.
I don't know why, but this time the scandal at Attawapiskat annoyed me. It's not like there's anything new in this. Hey, I watched North of 60. I know where it's at.
There's nothing unique in people and citizens bagging a few tax dollars. Everyone does it, man.
Native corruption, however, is a secret no one really wants to talk about.
Perhaps it's time to rethink and reformulate our relationship with Native communities and adjust it for the 21st century.
When will the narrative and scrutiny turn to Native Chiefs and their scandalous behavior? Or is not PC to call them out? I mean, $90 million over six years and people live in squalor? $11 million unaccounted for?
What's so "unreasonable" to send someone in to look into the matter? This is taxpayer dollars we're talking about. Why would band leaders be against this? Do they have something to hide? I'm sorry, you want the cash, you can't just close the door behind. There's something called accountability.
The Canadian people may have an interest in helping Natives who feel aggrieved for the past, but it by no means entails freezing them out of the discussion.
Time for everyone to grow up.
