Thanks, but no thanks.

> People don't die on reserves because they're lazy drunks(as is often portrayed), they die because they don't trust the Canadian health care system

Interesting take. When a white person doesn't trust "official healthcare", they are bigots/antiwaxers/idiots/you name it. But if they belong to FN, it turns out to be a noble thing. All of a sudden, "we've been doing it for hundreds of years" trumps science.

Same with education. It's horrible that these children were subjected to a sterilized, culture killing national/standardized education, and killed their individual culture.

Also, opposing nationalized education curriculums for everyone else means you're an evolution denier, hate minority children, and probably still think we should teach math with numbers.
