If you had any goodwill, kindness or compassion you wouldn't be f_cking hookers.
Hardly ancestors. The natives got completely fucked during wwii and atrocities continued up until the 1980s with the residential schools. I'm sure some of it is exaggerated but still
if you know anything about the violent and conquer or die nature of human history you would reconsider that remark
we each carry the burden for our own individual acts / decisions and nothing more.
do not hold me responsible for acts / decisions made hundreds of years before my time.

It was the erasing of culture over a few generations that was the real crime of the residential schools.
There are about 1.8 million people in Canada saying they are Indigenous. In the last dozen or so years they`ve been paid around 100 Billion dollars. Yet so many live in poverty, no clean water, severe alcoholism and drug use, big crime numbers and on and on. You think just maybe the taxpayers are being played hard? WTF is going on?
How did you come up with this 100 billion dollar figure?

I recall Trudeau killed the transparency requirement, when he was elected.
gabillions of tax payers $ and there are still boil water issues for first nations
when the cash flows better than the water does there are only two possible root causes:
- incompetent government bureaucracy
- corruption
Wonder what percentage of our tax dollars get eaten by these two factors.
I'd hate to be in that position, but if the son renounces his father's sins, should the son still be held responsible? Serious question.

The money isn't getting to the ones who need it.
I've known at least 3 people over the years who lived for some time on reservations. They said it was an alternate reality where a can of soup cost $10 but since people were given money for nothing, the price didn't matter.
Those that managed the money they received made a good life for themselves after leaving the rez and became somewhat independent...those that remained lived hand-to-mouth blowing their money on booze and never having the drive to leave.
You can choose not to believe me, just speaking about my experience and hearing this 2nd hand. I'm sure others hear have heard about similar experiences.
