The ruling gives $40,000 to each person who was apprehended by child welfare whether they were abused or not and whether they were in the care of a foster home for one day, one week, one month, six months or five years. Simply being placed in a foster home should not warrant receiving compensation. Children were placed there because they were in danger in their natural parent's or where they were living. We had a couple native children for a week or so. The ten year old told us the male adult in their home had put her hand on the hot stove to teach her something. Should they get $40,000 each for being protected from brutal behavior? Many of these kids were apprehended to protect them and there was no other place to put them. Our human rights tribunals should be abolished. They are out of control. Also the human rights tribunal that ordered it has no jurisdiction to make such a ruling which could cost Canadians billions of dollars. That is why the government has been trying to appeal it. The government is willing to fairly compensate those who were really abused, but if one was treated well in a foster home, I don't see how they are entitled to tens of thousands of dollars. I cannot believe that 50,000 children were abused in foster homes. Claiming deprivation of culture or native language doesn't cut it. Provincial government's child welfare systems did the best they could with the only system that was available at the time. This could cost Canadians billions of dollars.

Argus Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 The problem is that since the Liberals have had years to stack the courts with progressive ideologues the outcome of any such case is fairly obvious. 2 Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the new 10 dollar a day daycare is going to cost some where around 70 billion, and I'm sure as shit paying off the indigenous is not going to cost that much...or how about pharma care, or paid sick leave, all going to cost billions upon billions , and we just spent 380 bil without batting an eye... tell me again why we can not afford it... you voted NDP, they have a shit tonne of social programs they want to bring in...

So if your ok with spending mountains of tax dollars helping out everyone just not our indigenous people is that what your saying. It's OK to pay out billions for really no reason at all, but when people have been wronged it is different....All those things are not essential you listed are not needed for life and liberty, just another form of welfare, another reason to get hooked on the government giving you everything...

Meanwhile the federal government is promising billions of dollars for third world countries to help fight climate change. And some wonder why people are distrustful and dislike governments.

The Liberals and NDP want to provide $10 a day childcare for working mothers. The Conservatives prefer to give families a large tax benefit so families can decide for themselves whether the mother should go out to work or stay at homes and look after the kids. Giving families the right to choose whether mom works or stays home is far better for society than the state using child care payments to force women to go out to work and having the state use day care centres to look after the kids. That sounds more like something from a Communist country. The idea that the state can better raise kids than the mother (or father) is Marxist ideology.

Giving every kid who spent some time in a foster home $40,000 is madness. It will cost the taxpayers billions of dollars and is nonsensical. I believe most of those kids were not abused in any way. The claim that they were denied their native culture and language is absolute nonsense but it is the reason the HRT decided to order the government to pay billions to them. It was not because they were abused physically or sexually; it was because of the new woke belief that they were denied native language, spirituality, or culture. This should never be a reason to pay tens of thousands of dollars in compensation. It is the taxpayers who are being abused. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationalist Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 I love this country. Even the winters. I think both the Quebecois and the Natives need to have their cultures and languages protected. Its part of what makes Canada...Canada. Hell I even like the Newfies... What I don't like is wasteful stupidity and I certainly can't abide any influence that dilutes Canadiana and national unity in any way. Thus I am forced to admit that how Canada has bent over backwards for both Quebec and the Native clans, has been both a tad embarrassing and way too expensive. But on the topic of abuse in foster homes, I would grant a one-time financial settlement, or psychological treatment should the case warrant it, or even both. But I can't accept hanging that burden of taxpayers indefinitely. 1 Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbird Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 This is an abuse of the taxpayers of Canada. They are going to pay out tens of thousands of dollars to aboriginal children who were rescued from dangerous situations and placed in white Canadian foster homes because there was nowhere else to place them. They were not abused in their foster homes. The only reason they are being paid is they were allegedly, in today's world, denied their culture. This is complete madness and shows how far our government has gone off the rails and has no respect for taxpayer's money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbird Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Another aspect to the $40 billion dollars the government has said they will now pay out is how do these federal liberals, NDP and bureaucrats now reason that the taxpayers of today, who had nothing to do with what went on with child welfare/foster homes in the past, now must pay tens of billions of dollars in compensation? How are we as taxpayers responsible to pay for past errors if in fact they were errors by provincial and federal governments? The federal minister Hajdu spoke today about the colonization, racism, etc. of the past. But how does she automatically assume the 37 million Canadians are guilty of these things or anything? It seems absurd to me to force Canadians to pay out billions of dollars for past governments allegedly denying native children their culture. These children were neglected on their reserves or the victims of domestic abuse and alcoholism. But liberals and activists are all pointing the finger at the Canadian population today and seem to be saying it is our fault and we must pay for it. These kids were in fact rescued from dangerous and dire situations. There was no other place or resource to take them. Paying them tens of thousands of dollars simply because they were removed from their reserves to protect them just doesn't seem to make any sense. I might be able to see the rationale of setting up foster homes on reserves and let the natives look after them themselves from now on, but making Canadians pay a penalty for historical events just doesn't seem reasonable. Canada is the only country on earth that is paying out this kind of money for this kind of thing. This has never happened before.

Most of the Canadian population was not even around in the mid 20th century when a lot of the FN kids were apprehended by child welfare and put in foster homes. We had nothing to do with what past provincial governments did decades ago. Secondly, I can't see how rescuing FN kids from a situation of neglect or domestic abuse was a bad thing. It wasn't considered wrong in those days. But today activists and the left consider everything white man did in the past as criminal or wrong. It's all part of the cancel culture / progressive woke movement and the red power movement to make white man pay and pay forever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
