National Chief Phil Fontaine - Make Poverty History

[jeremyhall35]

I enjoyed watching your video! thanks for sharing!

[SarahLee1]

Fools this is not about Native Americans! They are Canadian First Nations people.

[Ellavella]

This vid has created quite a response on my fb. :o) simple but sends the message.

[trakkaton]

If you want to make poverty history you have to kill all the stinkin rich assholes that make the majority of the people poor. Yes, that simple. And no, no way around it.

[2LittleSister]

waysidefish, I have an education, something I feel you don't, since you can't spell right. I pay for all my taxes, I also pay for all my medical care. Nothing is given to me. I pay for everything I receive. Oh yeah, I do shower daily, unlike you, dirty ignorant white man. I do know that not all white men are as stupid & closed-minded like you, but you lower than what I poop out. Yes I am Native & very very proud of it!

[metta108]

@2LittleSister : very well said...on behalf of every Native person everywhere....that's telling him sister!!

[2LittleSister]

this is to all those ignorant & big mouthed people who put down the native american. For one thing, I don't just sit on my ass all day & drug deal. I have a college education, I work 10 hours a day at my job as a medical advisor to all the hospital in the state of North Dakota. Why don't you get off your lazy asses & quit bitching about the native americans. Your the ones that raped & murdered our people for land. if anyone owes anything, its the white who owe us for what they took from us.

[mcanadiens14]

@2LittleSister Get with the 21st century buddy. i think you useless fucks can pay taxes now, its not like right now were doing all this shit to you. It happened along time ago so get ur mind out of the past and stop crying that we took your land. WE TOOK IT SO GET OVER IT

[p00ner2010]

@mcanadiens14 I find it hilarious you know absolutely NOTHING lol. I'm not sure about the States laws but when we work off reserve here in Canada we pay taxes like anyone else. Also residential schools only ended in 1996 so where does this 'long time ago' come from? Furthermore, since we're still living under the laws you forced on us you clearly ARE still doing it to us. We will not forget about it, your people have done this worldwide and under your own laws it falls under 'genocide.'

Indoctrination

See there are certain human right laws and 'stuff' the white colonized countries don't sign onto because then you'd have to basically re-negotiate everything and the things you did to us would fall under those laws. There's way more to add to that list too.

[mcanadiens14]

im just gonna say this bout indians, i live directly next to a rez and i say FUCK indians. there no good non tax paying fucks who sit on their ass and drug deal while they collect the tax money that WE the WHITE men pay

[WaysideFish]

@mcanadiens14 exactly. wanna know what we call them? ''dirty bogans''. they dont pay for SHIT!

[2LittleSister]

@WaysideFish your the dirty bogan! I pay for everything I have in my life. All you can do is sit around & bitch like the bitch you are, because your life really sucks.

[WaysideFish]

@2LittleSister A dirty bogan is a native who deosnt pay taxes. I'm not native. I am caucassion and I am lucky I am so i don't have hate. I dont sell drugs, I pay taxes, we get health care, WE HAVE EDUCATION (something you guys I've never seen happen). I proove my point. also im guessing you're a native. oh yah, TAKE A SHOWER.

[p00ner2010]

@WaysideFish Here's hoping you have another heart attack cocksucker.

[2LittleSister]

If you dislike the native americans that bad, then why do you live by them? just so you can have something to bitch about? boy your life must be really boring if you have to sit around & complain about people that do you no harm. I work for my living, I do not deal drugs or drink. So for your information, I pay the white man taxes.

[manitobasuntanner]

@2LittleSister their not called the white man taxes...they are just taxes and no matter what color u are you still have to pay.

[freakoutguitarsolo1]

the prophecies are happening

[StormyKniight]

Thanks to the Obama administration I have now made poverty history. I'm completely out of money. Thanks, O!

[fourx4ever]

Get in line buddy, there are lots of poor people in a bad way. Just because your DNA makes you an "Indian' doesn't mean you should get special treatment. We were all born here in Canada too. Anything else is discrimination against the millions of other people born in this country!

Moreover if you are down and out, get up and do something about it, don't wait for the government to come wipe your running nose. To people of all colors: get out there and work, do something for yourself!

[rmarsonutube]

pay no taxes get a monthly cheque then should i care about your poverty? hell no.

[wovokanarchy]

@rmarsonutube Steal Indian land, rape little Indian children, and murder Indian missing women Should I care about your serial genocide? Hell Yeah!

[jblackrupert]

@wovokanarchy

You might want to knock on a few chiefs doors and ask them why they are living in big houses with 2 cars, making frequent trips to Hawaii while the band members are living in squalor.

7 Billion dollars a year to a population of less then a million and NOTHING to show for it. Where is the money going?

[wovokanarchy]

@jblackrupert According to the government's own stats most of the money is spent on administration at the Department of Idiot sorry that's Indian Affairs which is staffed primarly by non-native white folk. That's where all the money that Canada made off Indian lands and resources from is going and certainly not Indian reservations. I agree a lot of Thief and Clowncil (sorry again, that's Chief and Council) members are corrupt and self-serving but what politician isn't? Look at Brian Mulroney.

[jblackrupert]

@wovokanarchy

And to quote Chief Clarence Louie of the Osoyoos band. (A rich and successful band.)......

"“Our ancestors worked for a living, So should you”

[wovokanarchy]

@jblackrupert I do and so many other Indians as well. The problem is racists such as yourself who can't see minorities gaining traction in life. What's the moto? "Last hired first fired"?

[dithbmine1]

stay in school, and stop expecting government or others to support you.

[diabe33]

@dithbmine1

I really hope you never need support of nobody

[DannySmith300]

I feel bad for them. But my video is proof that most parts of canada is not bad!

[456japan]

its time the world recognizes the plight of the native americans,they are suffering under the regime of the white man!!!enough i say,start giving back their pride,no wonder why there is suicide....what would you do??????

[Mrreserveatim]

Fact mostly isolated reserves once our prisons forgot freedom trade.Fact $1 billion could employ 40,000 persons to earn $25,000 each yearly.We need rebuild own towns once ours ie Toronto Odawa.If given $8 billion could employ 320,000 persons yearly.2000 manhours is work year.Need leaders uses heart to build up our peoples 10,000 days (almost 25 years) to earn 700 paydays.Prayers we all succed

[totenkopf999]

why dont phil we need more funding fontaine give some of his money to help these poor underprivilaged indians

[proudproject]

I started an initiative just recently which aims to address these serious social issues.

Simply lookup "The Standing Proud Project" over at the GiveMeaning website.

I'm glad I came across this video.

[meagen77]

People need to take action soon tomorrow is too late most people don't see this in there own community & still wonder why suicide is so high in F.N communitys

[beautifulday2004]

Canadians need to wake up and see whats going on in "their" own backyard - instead of pointing fingers at other third world countries...look no further - truth, respect and honesty. Honestly, when will it stop?

[disanator]
