Comments by "" (@walperstyle) on "Warriors Off The Res: Aboriginal Gangs in Winnipeg" video.
Nothing wrong with being 'Indian'. But what troubles me is how a very select few even attempt to live like true natives. Its great to blame other people for your troubles, however, society has moved on, all over the world. Cultures die off and everyone learns from them. The power shift is in China and India right now, and they are not the same as when they last ruled the world. Get over it, grow up, and learn.

Also note, this is what years of NDP rule lead to. All those wonderful social programs, with a huge amount of people abusing the system and huge crime. Glad BC got out of it, Glad Saskatchewan got out of it. Do not vote for socialist NDP. ..ANYTHING ELSE

Its not a federal thing, its a personal thing. The hand out is what hurts the first nations in the first place. This is the first government in a long time that doesn't throw money at people and hope they go away. We need about another 30 years of conservative government, so the aboriginal people can keep getting jobs and be a part of the future. The whole 'colonialism' thing being alive and well today is a joke. The rest of the world has changed, so has canada, and it will several times over. We learned a great deal from the Aboriginal people of Canada. Modern Military owes a huge thanks, fishing and harvesting foods in North America, as well as learning how to fish. ...that is what we have to be thankful for. The melting pot of the world isn't going to stop to hold onto the past. Again, India and China are now getting set to be the no1 nations on the earth. They were once before, hundreds of years ago, but they are even not the same. Traditions and old ways die off because its no longer needed. 'Culture' is the in-ability to change for the future.

s0nnyburnett The jews did deal with it. Don't you know what the Mossad is?

The big taboo that nobody talks about is how many of those schools saved the lives of those kids either. The early settlers created many substance abuses problems, those schools also offered refuge for kids to escape their own parents. I'll be damned if anyone says every school was bad, because they were not. Neglect doesn't mean genocide.

Only if you are weak. Take control of your future. Don't blame your life on your past. Or ancestors past...or someone else's ancestors past.

Limited by a ruling power? again, weak. If you believe that, you are weak. Just be free, and don't throw it in the face of everyone. Sky is the limit. Ever wonder why 3rd world countries come to Canada and thrive? because they are not playing the blame game like white and native people do.

Yeah, you won't be taken serious if you are ranting. Especially if it doesn't contain much fact either. Stop with the racist assumptions.

So please enlighten us to the 'true native way'.

I like how you grab random numbers out of the air. this 90%, did you make it up or did someone else that supports you via some random website support that idea. Stop blaming others as to why your life sucks.

Candace McDougall I'm all for living the native way if someone is willing to teach it. Enlighten before claiming ignorance.

Matters not where you came from, but where you are going, and how you are going to get there. Take your Indian/Native/Aboriginal benefits, use them wisely instead of hating others every few years... This might come as a surprise, but 'the evil white man' is a thing of the past. You can either take full advantage of the Education and freebies to better your life, as well as everyone else, or you can be Racist, only care about your own people and keep protesting. Your life, not mine.

The Roman Empire conquered my land, so did the French, and so on. The past cannot be changed. Another real world analogy, my father died from lung cancer. I could spend my whole life angry at the cigarette companies or I could be positive, make the best of my life, and support those that make a difference. Cultures come and go, and believe it or not, the big bad white man culture died about 20 years ago....
