Take a look at what you're saying and step back. Forced sterilization on other countries, forcing companies to build call centres in remote locations recalls the worst excesses of Soviet technocracy. And yet, you persist. I don't see you saying "hey, you're right ... I haven't got the background to consider the implications of these ideas, I will learn and listen more". Your posts are the product of a society that rewards mediocrity and is afraid to criticize people, ie the trophy-for-everyone society. I'm a different kind of conservative. I'm against deficit financing and government waste. I don't need to lick the boots of large corporations. They can step up to the plate. I'm the kind of conservative that cares about small businesses and the middle class. The policy towards the natives is failing. We don't give them job access, we give them welfare checks, transfer payments, and grants. Our model is lets just throw money at everything instead of trying to fix the problem. We think we should mind our own business, and do nothing, instead of debating what kind of intervention can work. I say open a call center in Iqaluit. Call me a socialist, I just saved you a lot of your tax dollars. Handing over a welfare check instead of a job is rewarding mediocrity. You need the right kind regulation and government intervention. You just figure out what policies are better then others. The job quota system does less harm than the welfare check. The natives that show up to work drunk can get fired, the ones that say thank you and work hard, should have the right to keep their jobs.

This simple expression of attitude precisely captures why the world is in the place it is right now. We have used force, repeatedly, and look at where its not getting us, at home and abroad.

We have used force, repeatedly, and look at where its not getting us, at home and abroad. One of the biggest reasons the worlds screwed up right now, is because of neglect. We don't face a problem head on. We just think "out of sight", "out of mind". Well these native communities are out of sight. We have neglected them for too long. We have the ability to significantly improves their lives, but we don't. If a little force gets people off their ass, and working towards fixing the problem, than i'm all for it. Many times force is overused, but in this particular instance, we need some force, or thing are going to fall apart. If I was Canadian Minster, I would increase access to opportunity by force, while decreasing the reliance on welfare. We need to redesign the social safety net, put more responsibility on cooperation to improve access to jobs, and less burden on the taxpayer for bailing out the unemployed. I'm not afraid of a little force, as long as their are checks and balances, and the right people making decisions.
