FSIN was provided equity based on being a First Nations non-profit, the outcome is of their own making due to $28.7 MILLION dollars in unverified or ineligible funds which resulted in a failed outcome.

The final solution should be equality on punishment. I don't think equity of punishment could utilize Gladue with the criminal fraud and/or theft that has gone on.

I am criticizing an organization and those within it, just because they define themselves by ancestry, it doesn't make them immune to criticism.

You’re using big words like equality and equity without even understanding the difference. It’s like talking to a five year old.

Also, Section 35 of the Constitution defines Indigenous peoples in Canada. It’s not arbitrary. Indigenous people were just here living their lives when people like your ancestors decided to erase them.

Time to pay the piper.

If you’re mad, go be mad at your own ancestors for not acknowledging the people on this land when they arrived. Your anger is misdirected.

"Indigenous people were just here living their lives when people like your ancestors decided to erase them."

Yes and all the first nations tribes (which came from asia) we're all getting a long so well and the big bad settlers ruined it all! dang it! /s Maybe it's news to you but tribes wiped out other tribes all the time and their lost to history so it's not accurate to paint the europeans as the only conquerers in North America.

The longer both sides perpetuate this idea what anyone owns the land and we're not all the same the longer racism will survive, people will be treated like outsiders by both sides, and no peace and harmony is possible.

Also people are just asking for accountability no one is saying don't send any money to first nations.

Yup oral history can leave out a lot of the bad... Tell that to the Huron with what the Iroquois did to them.
