Must not be frank about Canadian Indians
Indigenous Canadians are heavily welfare-dependent but mentioning that in plain English is a no-no
One of the biggest news stories in Manitoba this week was that of now former Conservative youth-wing president Braydon Mazurkiewich.
Last Friday, Mazurkiewich wrote a Twitter and Facebook post saying that a planned urban First Nations reserve on a former military base was designed for "hard-working men and women of the military, not free-loading Indians."
Mazurkiewich resigned his post almost immediately and offered a somewhat veiled apology. Manitoba Tory leader Brian Pallister finally spoke out against the comments on Thursday, but rejected a call from aboriginal leaders to apologize on behalf of the party.

"im glad i dont live there"
Too bad you live here.
"Free-loading Indians".
Were they free-loaders before we stole their land?
So all people of indigenous birth are are doomed to be what they always have been and not progress like developed nations? They are to be pitied by future generations as living museum exhibits so that the do gooders feel good about themselves in that they have retarded another native tribal culture to never advance to a better life. How selfish can you get.
Annon 6:40 Please move to outer mongolia if you want to im not going to stop you
Hyawatha and Minihaha
4:25 pm - I like your thinking. Europeans came in and moved all the indigenous people 'out of the way.' Then they ruled over them to the point they couldn't hunt, defend or support their own people.
Bring me the head of Wayne LaPierre.
