Houses are free too.
Talked to an arctic Goose Guide at the sportsman show and we all had a laugh when he had to explain that “not all Canadians get a free house when they get married” to a young Indian that thought Canada was the same all over.
That’s not uncommon to see on any reserve. Leave them on the ice at the end of winter so you don’t have to bother storing them off season.
l read stories about our northrn indigenous chopping open walls of the free houses so as to roar up the ramp and park the also free tracked vehicle.
interesting to see such direct methodology in that adverse environment.
What has no cost has no value. This is one of biggest flaws of socialism. And of social benefits.
It’s the same with Healthcare. People don’t realize thr cost of our “free” healthcare. Close to half of every Provincial budget is spent/mismanaged on healthcare. The Feds stopped paying their promised 50% decades ago.
My dad worked in the Arctic on the DEW Line for Federal Electric and told me when they shut down a base, they would bring in a D-9, bulldoze the entire place and leave the D-9 sitting on top of the hole they buried the buildings and materials in. I remember many years later that the locals apparently claimed a D-9 and suddenly the US got possessive with it and there was a legal kerfuffle over who owned it. Oh and Biden just left billions of dollars worth of equipment for the Taliban. It’s only (taxpayer’s) money, after all.
There is free housing on the rez. I have never heard of a free snow machine. The rez guys I know all pay if they want a machine. They don’t pay taxes.
This was true when I was in Yellowknife 30 years ago. The indians would run skidoos over calm open water to attempt to cross a section. If things didn’t go well, the skidoo would sink, and they’d get another one from the gov’t sooner or later.
An electrician I know of frequently works on Manitoba reserves. In one instance, he was sent to investigate a potentially faulty furnace, as the family complained that the house was always cold in winter. There was nothing wrong with the furnace, but the house did seem unusually cold. When he opened the bathroom door, he found a large hole cut in the wall right above the bathtub, which was full of water. It turns out that the family had horses, and they thought this was a handy way to water them in winter.
I thought Ski-Doos were manifestations of white supremacy.
It is also one of the reasons we’re loosing so many polar bears, the rubber, canvas, metal tracks on the doos create havoc with the bears digestive track, not like their customary diet of seal with the occassional Inuit hunter and his dog team thrown in.
Reparations … are a long term ongoing operation. That! is the TRUTH … now it’s time for some reconciliation
The floor of Great Slave Lake is littered with free snowmobiles provided by the government. Anyone who has ever lived in Yellowknife can confirm that.
I was having my boat serviced at a marina near a reserve, the yard was littered with medium sized fishing boats, when queried the owner responded, “that at the end of the season the
indigenous owners dropped them off and order a new one, all paid for by the tax payer”.
