All too true. I grew up in Northern Quebec and I can tell you first hand, the kids showed up for the first day of high school, picked up a healthy check and stayed in school for exactly three weeks until moose hunting season started. Hey, they had to stay in town for long enough to buy new gear, but that was the sum total of their contribution to the community and the economy. White men destroyed their lifestyle not with modernization, but with welfare.
And we act surprised when we see their leaders like the one just stripped of his Order of Canada liken themselves to the Palis? Clearly his intent was to expose oppression, but ironically it exposes the folly of a socialist, secular state. Ditto the increase in Islam among African American inner city populations. Same cultural death at the same hands.
I have also seen this first-hand among the Canadian Inuit and Canadian Indians. They live in a total welfare state, cradle to grave.
Everything is supplied for them except hope, independence, self-reliance.
They've learned now for seveeral generations to blame the White Man for everything and beg the White Man for more.
The big bureaucracies that control them are killing them.
It has everything to say about out-of-control bureaucracies that nobody can rein in.
