If you treat a people like children they will become resentful and never gain responsibility. Aboriginals must solve their own problems and take responsibility for their own actions. If aboriginals want western-style water they need to raise their own funds then build it like white communities do. If they are happy with their traditional water supply that is also their decision. This white savoir approach has been a consistent failure.
We've built water treatment plants for remote communities already, but they insist that we train and pay locals to maintain them. Then the plants break down when those locals can't be bothered to show up and do their work.
At some point this vicious circle of just throwing more money at dysfunctional aboriginal communities has to stop.

The First Nations in Canada are sad and pathetic. Everywhere in Canada water is handled at the municipal level with little to no problems.
If these First Nations folks tried doing a little bit of hard work and stop drinking and huffing gas their water would be just fine.
Amen to that.

I am in favor of cutting off funding and letting them sink or swim.
First nations close their roads to contractors then complain the work isn't done on time, fuckin goofs
