Third World Poverty out your "FRONT" door good christians!

Beginning in the 1830's the provincial legislature began promoting the sale of huge chunks of un-granted lands (really Aboriginal lands) to foreign interests in order to boost provincial coffers and stimulate immigration. And in 1837 the legislature finally wrested full control of the remaining 11 million acres of so called "crown" lands from the Loyalist -- dominated executive branch in New Brunswick only to turn them over to capitalists and railway promoters who were poised to "plunder" both public monies and the "crown" lands.

Within a few decades over a million and a half more acres soon passed into the hands of the wealthy railroad promoters, who, for the most part, were the legislature themselves!

In Myers words "almost the whole personnel of the government of the Province of New Brunswick were among the incorporators" of one railroad in 1851. In addition to voting huge government subsidies for the project, they also voted themselves a huge land grant five miles wide on each side of the railroad for its entire length. (Myers, pp. 163-164)

[Indigence]

Survival's director Stephen Corry said today: 'Indigenous peoples' ill health is the legacy of centuries of colonization, discrimination, poverty and loss of control over their lands and resources.

It is one of the most urgent humanitarian issues of the 21st century.'
