Stop wasting tax payers money! Use it where it is needed, to help our future through the children: all children. Is this really Multicultural Canada? Or is this just a smokescreen for what is really going on? Look at statistics as Canada we rank 8th as a Nation we rank lower than 100. Why? Because of how we treat the Native Peoples of Canada. Open your eyes ask questions and never take anything at face value.

Since when did the government have enough money to waste on spying or getting into the spying game? Cindy Blackstock is a leader and advocate for Native Peoples. The issue the government has is that her voice is now beginning to be heard nationwide and it’s beginning to ruffle a few feathers, namely the governments. What Cindy Blackstock states is true there is a difference with not only educational funding but also housing, health, sanitation to name a few. All of these can be seen in one plae where a crisis is unfolding now in Attawapiskat. The conditions in which over 2000 women, men and children live is attrocious, no water, no sanitation, no electricity except from extension chords plus hazards of being burnt from heaters. There are also almost 50 families living in two trailers!! Something needs to be done, but sooner rather than later.
