I live within an hour of a few major cities and it cost me roughly $15k for my water well to be put in on my rural property.
I do not understand why some people think turning a tap on and receiving water is the government’s responsibility, especially when they live in remote wilderness communities.
And water was never 100% clean and safe from lakes or rivers, it has always been full of harmful pathogens.
Yes. It's racist to believe that the government must pay for your water if you are aboriginal. And treating aboriginals like children does them no favors in the long run.
What makes you think a breed of human that was naturally selected to dance with feather hats around fires instead of building houses and infrastructures can do that? 400 years ago they were not even aware you could use utensils to eat food, or that you could build mirrors. Why on earth would they suddenly, 4-5 generations later, be able to take control of their destiny?
It will be interesting to see how they squander $8B, especially since the vast majority already have clean drinking water. It will take impressive amounts of corruption and incompetence to spend it all, but I've no doubt they are up to the task.
Or, you know, they could also just live any fucking where else in Canada where drinking water is available. This is an outrageous waste of $.

No. We shall give them 16 billion as 8 billion was not enough.
Our treating aboriginals like children is counter-productive. Aboriginals must take control of their own destiny and pay for their own water.
