Uh yeah 25k to 50k is nothing compared to the loss of your family, language, culture, and community. Residential schools were also often highly abusive places.
Edit sorry this is about forced adoptions not residential schools

$8.5-billion, with 84% of the money going ... 850,000 aboriginal people — benefits other Canadians have to pay ... upon native Canadians are a form of reparations for past injustices

Given 2Day is Columbus day which frankly is not going so good for the former hero Columbus which of course turned out to Rape and Pillage the Native Americans
So USA has a Horrid History of treatment of Natives which is ongoing -
Canada has the British Horrid History of Rape and Pillage which is ongoing and of course the heritage of Canada is based on British past Rape n Pillage
Canada all in all is doing far more better than USA re trying to help the people they have made a mess of
Here in California many tribes have HUGE Casinos but the Tribal lands Casinos sit on look like a 3rd world nation in ruin even with the mass of money the Indians now get from Casino profits

Canada has a horrible track record of treating first nations people (and other minorities). The fact that people get so self righteous and pretend we have a good history is possibly even worse.

I think for the size Canada is - based on a quick read - They are doing more to help including medical than USA
When I was working/living in Australia - The local chief of police dropped on by my Satellite Tracking/Command/Control site and tried to talk me out of hiring so many Aborigines - When word got out I was paying the same wage Whites wood get the town was not at all happy. I explained I was following company policy.

er ya might pull up a Google Map of Reservations in San Diego County. Fact is the Casino's put on terrific Vegas styled shows with the best entertainment and one has to drive through the reservations in order to get to them.
The reservations look much like the horrid places many Chinese live in and a Single light bulb is a good Metaphor 4 wot one could expect
The Casinos of course are built and managed by the Vegas operators who take the lion share of profits - However many Local Indians end up with employment

You and I did not commit these injustices that happened in our countries years ago..
so why should we feel personally responsible..

because complicity is a form of responsibility and we benefit from the perpetration of these injustices
It is the duty of the un oppressed to stand up for those who cannkt

Really? This is a lot like how we continue a form of slavery - We underpay and overwork Latino's and Blacks and the result is not so much so nice
But hey if those programs make you feel like something is really happening and you like the Ostrich bury your head in a hole so you do not see what is really going on - Well enjoy that hole

bert is also sure that he will be shooting “the government” when there’s a civil war or some bullshit fantasy
…except “the government” would be the police and/or troops who he worships and thinks are above reproach
