I might say "hope" is a better word than "motivation".

The sense of entitlement is another problem. Most immigrants come to Canada expecting that they will have to earn their keep. Natives get their money whether they earn it or not.

One thing I would like to see native leaders do is tie the cheques their people get into education and the like. Instead of free money to do whatever, direct some, or all, of that money towards scholarships, college educations. Give a kid the opportunity to make something of himself, and he will be more likely to do something productive with his life.
