Canada's National Tragedy: Indians

I have lived in many towns and cities in Canada, and I have yet to meet a homeless Eskimo.  I’m not saying that homeless Eskimos don’t exist, but when they do, they are not pushed out in droves by their own communities.  On the other hand, more and more Canadians every day find themselves living on our streets, and too many are Indians.

In my “now past” generation, countless poor working Canadians made weekly church donations in support of the construction and operation of Residential Schools to board and educate our Indian population.

Today, these same Indians are using their educational skills to exploit their own and to crap on the rest of us from a great height.  Our generous naïve Prime Minister has apologized for the schools we built, but the endless bitching just gets louder.

The latest demand?  A Federal Government Inquiry into violence against Indian women.  Who is asking?  This time it’s the Indian Chiefs joined by the Provincial Premiers.  They are ganging up on Canada’s outstanding Conservative Prime Minister in anticipation of a pending Federal Election.

My suggestion?  It’s time for our Indians to do the “Eskimo thing” and take responsibility for their own women and children.  If the Chiefs and the Premiers want an Inquiry, they should step up and pay for it.  They want to fiddle while the Reservations burn.
