Canada

I hope more and more people understand that First Nations grievances are real, legitimate, and utterly reasonable. There is absolutely nothing they ask for that isn't the same thing we also expect to have. If anyone is concerned they are in some specific way getting more than the "rest of us" are (they're not), maybe instead of focusing on why they get those things, we need to focus on why the rest of us AREN'T getting those things. The First Nations are not the problem, and they're not the reason we're not getting certain things. Because again, the things they are asking for are totally reasonable and they are things we all should expect for all of us.

As Canadians we should all be extremely familiar with the government making big promises and not delivering, and all you need to understand about the frustration of the First Nations people and their distrust of the government is that the government has done the same to them ten-fold, and worse. All anyone wants is for the government to actually follow through and deliver on at least some of its promises and do the things a government is expected to do, to give people the things everyone knows we are all entitled to. Because if Canadian governments are good at anything, they are good at letting we the people down. And eventually, we the people, must hold our government to account, for this is a cause we all have in common. We all want the same things. And we all deserve those things equally. We are much more the same than we are different. Always have been.
