I have several native friends and a couple that have been life-long friends since we were kids. One thing is for certain is that the ones that manage to leave the reserve are doing much better for themselves and are much happier. I have seen enough to know that that the reserve system benefits no one in the long run.

I would love to see a land swap offered to any First Nations communities that desire it. Promote resettlement to less remote locations where real job and entrepreneurial opportunities exist.

Now granted, that doesn't solve all the problems in Winnipeg as Winnipeg isn't a "remote" area and a lot of natives have moved there from the reserve and are still a step behind, but the conditions are still better than the alternative. And I know it isn't PC to say it, but a lot of the problems are self-inflicted at this point. In those cases, there isn't much anyone can do.
