I disagree. I am sure 90% is an exaggeration, but I would wager a guess that way under half of the natives that live in or around Calgary are productive to society. No science or anything to back it up, just first hand experience. I work downtown, and without a doubt the native race cause the most issues when compared to other races.
Anybody that has been to a resevervation knows that the entire native Canadian race has some serious issues that seem to be getting worse. Substance abuse seems to be a massive problem with natives in particular for some reason. I think a lot of Canadians attribute our "system" of dealing with natives as the biggest contributing factor of these problems, and are sick of it.
