FNs are milking Canadians for all they're worth and Liberals are helping them.

This article describes how the Liberals and FNs are choking billions of dollars out of Canadians and helping ensure Canadians will be saddled with huge debt for the forseeable future.  The non-partisan parliamentary budget officers give us this assessment.   Currently the amount he calculates we owe has grown from 11 billion to 76 billion under Trudeau's watch.

"

The Canadian government likely owes Indigenous people almost $76 billion for currently filed land claims and lawsuits, recent official reporting says — a sum that's nearly seven times greater today than when Justin Trudeau became prime minister.

In 2015, Ottawa counted $11 billion in "contingent liabilities," which are potential legal obligations recorded only in cases where the probability of future payment is considered "likely," according to the 2023 public accounts of Canada.

This year's fall economic statement showed the vast majority of these liabilities — 95 per cent — stem from Indigenous claims against the Crown.

It's a spike the non-partisan parliamentary budget officer, who provides lawmakers with spending analysis, calls disconcerting.

"It is very, very significant," said Yves Giroux.

"It's a bit surprising to see these being multiplied by seven."

From the Liberal government's perspective, the increase means progress, according to Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Gary Anandasangaree.

"I'm not surprised by it," he said.

"It is, I think, a part of the reconciliation process that we've undertaken. We have been consistent in ensuring that past harms are resolved."   unquote

Federal liabilities 'likely' owed to Indigenous people grow to $76B under Trudeau (msn.com)

Why do Canadians have to pay an unimaginable amount of money for things that happened in history long before the present generation was even born?  The whole world was settled by people migrating from one place to another.  How has that become a crime in Canada that we must pay for and our children and grand children must pay for?  This does not seem right.  But we are saddled with the Liberals, and NDP who are determined to make us pay.  Why?  Is it to try to build a voting base?  Or do they really believe we need to give a hundred billions dollars to FNs for just living in Canada?  What gives these liberals and left the right to impose this on Canadians?

$10 says it will be $150 billion by the time Poilievre's done watching.

WTF is wrong with you?

The grievance industry is extremely lucrative. And we always end up caving in to those demands.

It will never end either.

Let's agree. Pay it. Give them $26 billion.

The future can be a far richer place if we don't argue about the past.

IMHO, conservatives want to fix/preserve the past

Progressives want to look future.

Could print $$$$ every hour of the year into eternity . . . it wouldn't be enough for them.

There never will be an end to this fiasco.

Agreed.

Many people have, uh, a chip on their shoulder.

Progressives used to believe in the future: the world can be a better place.

It's more like a sack of cement they'll carry to their graves. Life's too short.
