The Harper government tries to impress Canadians that they are taking care of our native people while in reality they are continuing to oppress them.
"The fact that it would cost $242 million just to bring current First Nations schools in Ontario up to par shows that $275 million across Canada will have minimal impact," said Grand Council Chief Patrick Madahbee following the federal government announcement. "The kind of disparity in education funding between First Nations and schools outside of First Nations is a reflection of just how the federal government views First Nations in general. The Harper government is proving that it views First Nations people as substandard so they only deserve substandard funding. Education is a treaty right and that the government is breaking yet another sacred promise."

Their "slash and gut" policies are hurting the most vunerable Canadians.
