Idol No More

I've been reading about the idle no more protests and I'm just so confused!

Aren't the natives to blame for the bill c-45 being created? If they're system isn't faulty then why do they have so many issues? I think native groups in Canada should start taking responsibility of their actions and instead of protesting they should start to plan. Imagine if we had protests to eliminate paying taxes and funding native bands! People would loose their shit!!!

I strong believe as a tax payer and native supporter that everyone should be audited! I mean audited in regards to making sure any government money is actually spent on projects which are funded by the government. I'm not sure why Native bands are exempt? And I feel that this has gone on for way to long! If the government gives you money then spend it on what you propose to do and if not then give it back! I'm just shocked how many millions of dollars can't be accounted for which have been allocated for housing and building improvements. Where did the money go?

"Angry native activists, fed up with poor living conditions they blame on decades of neglect from Ottawa, have blockaded rail lines and threatened to close Canada's borders with the United States in a campaign they call Idle No More."

This statement makes me angry on so many levels!

A. The poor living conditions are the fault of the band leaders and the people who aren't taking care of their place. The neglect isn't Ottawa's fault it's your fault!

B. what ever happened to getting a job and paying for your own upgrades and improvements which may I add are tax free. That's what us non natives do!

C. When is it okay to start blockading rail lines and borders! I would say to CN the trains do more damage.

D. Take responsibility for your actions and your property!!!

In my opinion, I feel that we give way to much to Native bands. With all the free education, resources, and government funding a native reserves shouldn't have issues like poverty, uneducated members, run down homes and no sources of income. Their are bands out there who actually are successful but it doesn't come easy and it sure doesn't just fall on your lap. It's called working!!!

I look at what the government provides and if us non native people had their education, housing and medical paid for plus more I'm sure we would be happy. I personally would go back to school and get my masters or doctors so I can give back and have a successful life. It's sad that money puts a hold on my education!

I think we should be protesting on equal racial rights but that's just me being silly! I think employers shouldn't have the rights to ask if you're Native or not! We should be equals! We're in 2013 not 1900 where yes we did owe an apology and assistance.

I support C-45 bill because its time for change! I think the real reason for the Idol No More protests is that they have been caught and this money issue will no longer be acceptable! I'd be protesting to if all of a sudden the government started regulating what I did with government money which in the end means I'll have to work!

I'm. It trying to offend anyone i'm just sharing what are my views!
