    1. What’s your point?? They had trouble with water for years how is them getting reconcilliation related to water??

    2. @Ray & J’s L.G.S they should have clean water like every other human on Earth deserves water as essential human right. Naturally. But will they take the $40 Billion and better their community. Fix their water problems and homes ? Doubt it. Next year they will be complaining about their living conditions and poor water conditions. The money will disappear.

  1. The culture of victimhood can never be reconciliated…
    No mater how much money is given…
    There will be less than 5 cents, on the dollar, that actually makes it into the hands of the band members, across Canada…

    1. I’d like to see money be used for work out gyms. Healing centres. Theathers for families to bond things like this will help instead of nothing on reserves just booze and drugs

  2. $40 billion…
    Do you think that there will be a paper trail, to follow, on this one..?
    lol, ya… probably not…

    1. No – the Liberals cancelled the Harper Law making them accountable. After all, it would be racist to make them accountable, according to the Blackface regime.

  3. Its nice to see the government treat different races differently. Reminds me of the 1950s Southern United States.

    1. Plus still goes on today with who can go out and who can’t if your not vacinated you can’t even leave the country your held hostage

  4. I remember when payouts to this special group used to be in the millions and then tens of millions. Next is was billions and like all previous amounts, it was never enough. Soon the payments will be in the trillions.

  5. Is it going to come out of Justin’s bank account? When it comes to public funds, nothing is too extravagant.

  6. So what about slavery I’m all for change but I’m not for giving out money for the past let’s stop this from happing but paying billions will only cause more tent jobs everyone in this country is suffering

  7. Try being a single dad in general the mother can take your kids from your abs make money from it leaving the father with no say at the end of the day lost dads want there kids in there life and no there have been holding kids hostage to get at the father for years why is this never addressed

  8. WTF….40 billion….Jesus Christ….Money money money Is all what INDIANS GET…..gimmie gimme gimme…..Just Gonna Buy Booze & Shacks with this money money cry in months we spent it
    ..😅🤣😂
