On the native issue, and you have far more experience in this as I've only dealt with the native community in city programs and associations but not on the reverses themselves, are the current programs not a viable solution?
Here is a list of Aboriginal Programs in Calgary

I know the people who get grants and funding are working really hard but systematically, is this working? Does the strategy need to be rethought? Is it window dressing?
Edit: saw Scroopy Noopers' post, same question.

Here's the thing, you cant look at Calgary and say well things are fine here therefore life as a native in the rest of Canada must be fine, I say this without even knowing if the programs in Calgary are any good, but even if they were all gold standard it doesn't mean life in Prince Albert or Dawson's Creek is ok.
Second point 'general' that's pretty much what 'systemic' means, generally life as a native is crap, generally you wont get hired, generally you will live a shorter life, generally you will be massively poorer, generally you will have poorer sanitation, generally you will not have decent water, generally you will live as a second class human being in Canada
