| I hope that if they start fingerprinting etc. in Canada, that they establish SEPARATE lines at immigration, as I don't want to have to wait long in line. Last time upon entering Canada, it took over 20 mins to get through immigration because the 5--only 5!--people in front of me (prob. Koreans) had visa papers and other documents, which slowed the line down. It took about 30 seconds to process me, being a citizen. |

Mostly true. I don't agree with your last sentence. Canada (aka Hudson's Bay Company) gave them liquor and exploited their ignorance over 100 years ago. They have had more than 5 generations to un-fook themselves.
The residential school system was a big mistake, but so is giving them autonomy. Their own people are incapable of educating themselves properly. |

Hard to straighten yourselves out when the federal government establishes a culture of dependency. And more so when said government establishes a department to oversee you. None of the officials in Indian Affairs want to change the status quo...they'd be out of a job. That said some reservations ARE slowly but surely changing. A few have casinos and are making a nice profit. At least that is true for some parts of Canada (don't know about the U.S). |

You want to demonize giving them too much? I'd love to cut off their benefits cold turkey. It'd cause more problems.
They need a government organization. Heck, they need 2 or 3. One, to teach them not to take their children out in their diapers when it's -40 degrees. Two, to teach them that alcoholism is not the norm. Three, to use birth control.
