Batchewana First Nation Chief Speaks Against The Ontario HST

"You don't see France imposing a tax on Mexico"

France doesn't provide housing, water, sewage, electricity, or free education to Mexico. Mexico isn't within France's boarders. Maybe if you were truly a "Sovereign nation" The Canadian government (The government that gives you all of the above services) wouldn't want to impose a tax on you.

And by the way, you guy's came over here via the Alaska ice bridge, then we came over by boat. You did not just spring out of the ground.

Giving! The government doesn't "give" anything! If anything, they just Take. They take with force! They also manipulate. They cheat. They lie. They say one thing and do the other. They make promises they don't keep. The government didn't "give", anything to the Native people, instead they are paying their taxes. It's a very minimal tax yet just like anyone else they'd prefer to pay little or nothing at all for the trillions of dollars extrapolated from natural resources.

I'm not saying the way the Government handles things is right. I never said that. However I don't agree with how your people are handling this either. Basically what your saying is because your native you should get benefits nobody else can. It's reverse discrimination, its the same as when a black guy and a white guy try to get a job, and the employer HAS to hire the black guy. It's not right. We should all pay the same tax, whether your black, native, white, purple, whatever.

@KissRocksForever Finally we agree on something. Everyone should pay taxes. No exeptions. In fact I pay my fair share of taxes even though legally I shouldn't. It's written in law that I'm tax exempt. I get no special treatment (because I choose to live in an urban community) when I consume goods and services. In fact over 56% of the Native population live in urban communities. We just want the government to pay its own taxes! The government is not exempt either! Yes, EVERYONE must pay
