Most Canadians don’t want to see anyone suffering or living in poverty on Canadian soil, and would genuinely love to see First Nations thrive.
Disrobing the Aboriginal Industry describes the problems facing Indigenous reserves customarily ignored in what it is still a primarily liberal-leaning country. Those at fault include Indigenous leaders, for whom keeping their people poor results in a rain of federal manna from Ottawa, and their white progressive allies whose job it is to kowtow, bow and scrape, and never, ever, question any Native claim, however outlandish.
But the fault at large lies with the mostly non-Indigenous ‘industry’, primarily lawyers and consultants, who receive obscene amounts of government money defending the Indigenous in court (land claims are THE best way to get rich), with the help of their kind-hearted progressive lapdogs.
