93 member reserve on the Lower Mainland and the chief makes over $267,000.00 per year and the band members are living in poverty. The chief should be in jail...Each man woman and child gets $33,000.00 per year when you do the maths. I would sure like to be making that kind of money and it's all tax free..

That's OK, If Justin gets in he'll give them more money for education and let the Chiefs decide which of their relatives will continue on with their education.

Doesn't Justin realize, that education is a treaty right already and sadly, not all Aboriginals are treated equally as the treaties state...

Justin just isn't ready yet!

Actually they do....I'm not necessarily defending them but I do believe they work harder and they don't get 100% of their salary tax free. That's probably close to an average hard working Canadian making 400K a year... Total BS IMO.

Are you saying you can't see a difference between a person running a 93 person reserve making almost as much money as a Prime Minister running a country of over 35 million people. The same goes for the councillor Joanne Charles making $187,138.00, which I believe is more than a MP at somewhere around $167,000.00.

I think you better rethink that comparison. That's worse than the Mayor of Lumby making more money than the Mayor of Vancouver or Calgary. It is absolutely ridiculous. In fact he should not be making as much as the mayor of Lumby.

great points

off topic

a crook is a crook no matter what color he/she is.

But right on topic - is the ability of the media to expose small crooks
and totally keep us sheeple ignorant about big crooks. Isn't that amazing?

Sure - the guy is a crook. There are a lot of crooks in the world. But the fact
we're talking about him and not talking about other thousand times bigger crooks - is incredible.

sad but true, blame the press
