			<description><![CDATA[Agree that the reserves should be phased out...can you imagine the resistance from FN peoples? great idea...with a timeline....reserves do not work, huge social issues etc...create apathy...but the "handout" will not go easily...arhaic. colonial. ineffective..shameful..]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[And I would be the first to agree about corruption in all levels of leadership, as regards FNIM people and everyone else. My dream for INM is that FNIM people would be able to collect benefits off reserve, as a first step towards ending the reserve system as it exists now. Ultimately, I would like to see everyone on the same page as well, paying the same taxes etc., but i don't think it can happen peacefully and amicably overnight. Thank you Waterwalker, I really appreciate your honesty as well.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Read John Rileys book on the native questions. He is very insightful and has worked as a judge in Canmore for many years. Listen, I don't know what it is like to be native in Canada. I have many native friends and have spent much time on the Waywayseecapo Reserve in Manitoba.????????????? Wow. How do you get the jam to pick up your you know what and leave and cut a new life. I also know Irvin Goodon owner of Goodon Industries in Manitoba. He is native and a old family friend. Very wealthy business man. Left the reserve as a young man and went on to build 600 farm buildings a year all over western canada. One thing that is rampant in Canada is lack of responsible action of our Governments part. All parties.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Quite right John. Thanks for the insight. It is a small part. Having a job etc. is not just about the money. It is about responsibility, socializing etc. I am a small business owner and the hardest thing about making a living for my family is the tax department. I agree with thoughts to though and I know the judge John Riley from canmore who wrote the book describing that very situation. He is a native advocate but also believes there is great corruption among the leadership. My father also worked with native bands in northern manitoba and said the same things. I by the way love my native friends but also believe in not sweeping real issues under the rug. In the US they try to shoot their way out of problems and in Canada we try to buy our way out. Neither works. I appreciate the honest dialogue. Thanks, everyone.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The real "new The real "new thing" is to take in the whole picture..that "non-Native" are not all holding down a job is not new news...that is not what the discussion is about....provide an e-mail address, I'll send you info from a FN person who freely admits to the abuse of public funds...someone honest, with no axe to grind.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[robbed of their way of life??? you suggest they should still be living "on the land" in teepees? get real...you sir, are the one with tunnel vision and not seeing the whole picture. The millions allocated to reserves is easily searched on something called the Internet, try Google. That funds are mismanaged is fact. What percentage on most reserves have a JOB??? perhaps provide stats for your comments...then you'd have real ammunition to shoot down everyone you don't agree with..]]></description>
