@antennasbc F*** you!

@antennasbc The problem is your evidently privileged and insulated existence and a colonial education that has taught you nothing of reality. Colonization, the inter-generational impacts of such, and the ongoing massive disparities in wealth and opportunity as a result of ongoing and all too prevalent racism is to blame. Being displaced from your land and relocated to areas with next to no resources to compete economically is to blame....industrial civilization is to blame.

[antennasbc]

The problem is you should get a job and build your own house like everyone else. Stop crying and sitting around doing nothing. You have yourself to blame, no-one else.

This is all too common on all our First Nation communities. This is by far top 5 of the most poverty striken communities that I have seen. I completely understand the meaning of 'learned helplessness' and the popular misconception with 'laziness'.

Great Video Doug! One should be done on every First Nation Community!
