MS: As for aboriginals living in deploreable conditions, I blame the many years of government dependancy. If they hadn't learned to rely on the generocity of the government, they no doubt would face a better life. Of course, many would wonder what they have to complain about, contributing little if any tax, but having no problem accepting the meny benefits of modern society.

Qx: What generosities are you typing about Sprout? Generosities such as mission schools that were institutes for pedophiles? C'mon are you that far away from the realities of Canada to type to us about "generosity"?
If you mean generosity such as 5 year olds being loaded onto cattle trucks at -30C and transported from Bella Coola to Williams Lake,BC for at least tree decades as a fine example of government generosity then I don't think any native in Canada should even pay taxes for the services rendered.You should read some more about the mission school system that was in effect Canada-wide sometime. You might become wiser and not presume that Canada is a beer commercial. I'll go on and on but a handy reference might be better.

Your statement concerning native Indian people is typical of the racism that is alive and well in Canada and something that isn't unnoticed by
Americans who are probably sickened by your remarks.You shouldn't throw
rocks when you live in a glass house Mike.
