Dozens of B.C. First Nations failed to file financial statements by deadline
Unabated. Unopposed.
Shameful. Hateful. Unjustifiable.
This shaming treatment of First Nations leaders must stop.
I hate Harper for this. I hate the Canadian government for this. I hate Canada for this.
The Harper government gives to First Nations communities all the pennies it had discontinued, and then demands absolute accountability upon each and every god damned cent. Every cent must be tracked, three times signed for.
First Nations bands are paralyzed with fear for any misstep invites in third party management, which is more often than not, utterly worse at managing First Nations communities than the supposed corrupt leaders it displaced. Third party management is the new age Indian Agent.
Cities are not subject to this humiliation. Provinces are not subject to this dishonor. Harper himself stonewalled his own Parliamentary Budget Officer when he was being asked difficult questions about his own spent monies.
Why are First Nations governments subject to this treatment?
Because we're vulnerable, obviously. We're not of Canada, but from an era when a Canada did not even exist. We're red. We're different.
We're easy targets to hit when the governments needs someone to snipe out for political points, as though they're playing a video game.
When it comes to First Nations, the worst of Canada comes out to express its hate and fear of us, and the liberals and social-democrats shut up.
The only political party who's ever consistently stood with First Nations, all this time, has been the god damn Communist Party. The NDP and the Liberals run for the hills in fear.
The only names I know of, men who've consistently stood with First Nations have been Charlie Angus, and Paul Martin. The former's been removed from the NDP front lines in favour of more headshots of Mulcair, and the latter's retired from politics, altogether.
At this point, I can only state the truth. We First Nations probably can't count upon the NDP or the Liberals. We probably shouldn't trust them, either. Don't vote for them if they promise nothing or very little for First Nations. Only vote for them if they promise the moon, and can deliver it to us, overnight.
What is needed for Canada and First Nations is a completely new system of cooperation. What is in place, now, simply does not work. AANDC is a joke of an organization, which is too vulnerable to the political machinations of government. It was purposely designed that way, too. It was designed with failure in mind, because it served the purposes of the Canadian government, to be able to manipulate First Nations governments with ease, and rob us of lands, titles, and rights, at their own leisure.
My First Nations people Do not be tricked by this coming election. Nothing will change for us, no matter who wins the election. We must continue to oppose the Canadian government on all fronts, until we win back our full rights as human beings.
