Right, so right around the time of Harper's historic apology, he commented that First Nations people LACKED the values of hard work, independence and self-reliance. Hence, he was suggesting they were lazy and lived off of government support.
Not a good look for him and he rightly apologized. But these comments will make him having any moral stance over indigenous issues in Canada difficult.
