Poilievre: “My view is that we need to engender the values of hard work, independence, and self-reliance. That's the solution in the long run, more money will not solve it.” This is typical small minded conservative self-reliance crap. A lack of “self-reliance&rdqu o; is consequence not a cause. Also Poilievere’s timing is awful. He could not have picked a worse time to spout off. The good news for those concerned with the quality of public discourse is that Poilievre is likely in Harper’s doghouse, he already had to make a clarification, and will not be answering too many questions in the House or making any public appearances. All that being said, Poilievre is right about one thing. The reserve system, premised as it is on the notion of native rights, is a bureaucratic, fiscal, legal, intellectual and sociological abortion that does nothing save waste mountains of money, breed corruption and poverty, instill in the native community a vile sense of identity based on “blood” and breed racism in Canadian society at large. Hell, if Harper promised to abolish native rights and privatize communal land holdings, I would vote for him. Well maybe.

Why are these ex students being given the misnomer of survivors? Is the media hyping this to be a genocide such as the holocaust. My observations of aboriginals is they are mostly living in poverty and truly are not privy to the privleges of most Canadians. But I to believe they need to work and not rely on the welfare of working Canadians. I have to work, why shouldn't we all.
