who treats Natives like shit? You can't even say anything remotely critical of Natives without being a social pariah.
If there's any group that's treated like shit these days, it's old stock Canadians.
I have had more than one instance of a First Nations person, a complete stranger who I don't even know call me names like 'filthy colonizer' for no reason. It happened twice in the same grocery store. Pretty racist right? But I guess I deserve it because I my skin is too light, and somehow I am the "racist." What a bunch of horse shit.
I would clarify my statement and say that as far as minorities would go, Natives are probably lowest on the totem pole as far as pandering goes (based on what they've dealt with), unless of course you include white people as a minority.
Political pandering ends up in the lobbyists and leaders getting rich and passing very little onto the band members themselves. The Feds spend over 8 billion a year on First Nations services and that doesn't include provincial and secondary programs. It all gets siphoned off by bureaucrats.
This will all go away in the next few decades. Old stock Canadians are declining demographically and it won't be long before they are a plurality in Canada rather than a majority. When that happens, expect the freedoms of Western Civ (as well as propping up special interest groups) to go the way of the dinosaur. Enjoy it while it lasts, it won't be here forever.
