The government of Canada has an obligation to the First Nations people it made in the treaty it signed. It is not racist to fulfill this contract.

In your view, which part of the treaty relating to this matter has the government of Canada not fulfilled? Honest question. Besides maybe not doing enough to stop people from engaging in criminal acts against people who aren’t doing anything illegal, but I think that should probably be left up to law enforcement to deal with.

And you are correct you could add $500 to any number and it would still be moderate. However you couldn’t at 50k to it. Like any legal ruling the actual number whether it be divorce or insurance or breach of contract the actual value given to the parties is never perfect and both sides likely disagree which direction it needs to move to make it right. But that is why we have a court system.

If I’m understanding you correctly you’re basically saying you’re ok with them making above what is defined as a “moderate” living so long as they fight for it in court.

Either the federal government declares what a moderate living is or the First Nations bands do and if one side disagrees it ends up in court. That’s fine, it can be settled there.

In the meantime the government would not be able to enforce this without taking on a potentially very costly legal battle that they would IMO probably lose.
