CBC News (CBCNews): BREAKING | Provinces' counter-offer to Canada Job Grant, obtained by Radio-Canada, includes 2-yrs review http://fw.to/m1bqDRY #hw #cdnpoli http://twitter.com/CBCNews/status/430776138168692736 retweet of @susanamas tweet (Sent via Seesmic http://www.hootsuite.com)
I don't think AFN reserves are Aboriginal. Many refer to them as cages.
Maybe we shouldn't take advantage reprinting AFN's response to their 'delicate issue.'
A walk is a nice idea.

The AFN has recently chosen land and waters claims depending on Provinces to grant the lands and waters. This subverted majority Aboriginals and their equal claims, regardless of AFN 'communities' and claims. Resource use should be federal and a direct benefit to Aboriginals. Of course, this would cut out the AFN and Provinces large percetage of Aboriginal benefits. The federal government's response makes sense to majority, AFN disenfranchised Aboriginals, excepting no direct cash benefits to each Aboriginal that the AFN, Provinces and NDP would like to divert. Eventually there will have to be a federal audit of resource use and compensation to each Aboriginal. Wait majority Aboriginals out and grab cash and jobs as they go away.......

The original goals were to cut off Aboriginals from welfare, further marginalize and disenfranchise. 'Undesireables' out of AFN communities. Fortunately, most Aboriginals don't live in AFN communities, but have been forced out into cities. The enhancement seems to be more of a services hiring program to 'help' Aboriginals off of welfare. This money should be the direct benefit. In Ontario, for example, half the direct welfare benefit is diverted from the recipients pockets. It is federal, but the Provinces want there cut of direct welfare benefits. Cities also rely on the diversion of direct benefits for housing, hosteling and other 'services.'
The payors are also relying on AFN racial purity laws and lands claims, citing geographic communities like on reserve. Age discrimination has been epidemic by the Canadian governments, spilling over to AFN funding.
As a federal program, Aboriginals should be allowed to apply and be hired anywhere in Canada, without AFN and Provincial restrictions.
This is an old game in non AFN communities.

These new corporations will bar majority Aboriginals from working in this resource sector using AFN racial purity laws, claims and Provincial excusing. Majority Aboriginals should be encouraged to apply without restriction.

All Indigenous people have equal rights to harvesting of sea resources. The AFN can't bar them. The Provincial, Federal and AFN games might result in the AFN attempting to bar Indigenous people just as the Provinces assert claims with the Federal government.
The use of resources is the same for all Indigenous people regardless of colonial AFN, Provincial and Federal claims.
