Its a generational grift and if I were native I'd be embarrassed that the rest of society & government thinks I'm inherently so weak & incompetent that I require such disproportionate social support & benefits. As non-natives we're really to blame in that we've enabled their shitty pathetic behavior. Enough is enough, there should be one class of Canadian and everyone is treated & judged the same.Another Canadian here. I would consider the First Nations to be the most corrupt and useless civilization on all Earth. Just a reminder fo everyone: that persistent faggot Justin Bieber holds a status card, and once bragged about the tax breaks online publically. He is simply representative of all the natives in Canada who's only pride about their ancestry, is that they don't pay taxes on electronics and other non-essential. They actually once threatened to block our highways and train tracks if the government took their tax exemptions away.
There actually are white Canadians with a tiny bit of native blood who don't use or have an Indian Status Card, because they feel they don't deserve it and that its discriminatory. Yes believe it or not, these exceptions would rather be part of the human race and pay equal taxes.
I have to admit, this has been a primary reason for my hatred of them. I have to pay taxes, but he/she doesn't merely because her ethnicity is different?
