Over the years I have continually heard about the injustices the First Nations have received from Canada. When are we going to stop paying for what happened over 150 years ago? Drop it and stop using it as a crutch. People like to use things from the past to limit their own progression in life. Stop thinking that Canada owes you something. Go out and get it yourself. How can you have self worth and strive for a better life if money is thrown at you to do nothing? It has not worked in the past and it's still a very prominent problem. I have seen first hand how the money and accommodations that are openly given to the First Nations is abused and defrauded. I am not limiting this to this section of society. It goes out to everyone. If you are surviving on what you think someone owes you, you are a sinking ship. Move on and grab your future by the tail. Don't limit your own expectations by the colour of your skin, what social class you came from, what nationality you are. These are limitations you place on yourself. No one owes you anything, you owe yourself to be a contributor to society, not a life sucker. I remember a wise statement made years ago. Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country. I don't think sitting back on the couch collecting money unearned, or what you think is owed to you, is what this statement had in mind.
I mean I'm really...
