“The First Nations in eastern Canada would never stand for it.”
I’m from western canada. Heck, just like Natives in America, they got a sweet deal back even in 2006 before I left:
FREE LAND, FREE WELFARE, PAY NO TAXES, FREE EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN. AND $5000 check every month. Back then, I worked for KFC back in high school and it was free delivery to the reservation AND 30% discount.
I almost married a FN chick and if did, I would be on easy street...
