Justin Trudeau and Federal Governments

Tahris Bear: Trudeau said Ottawa can't fix the situation on its own, adding that previous, well-meaning federal governments tried, but with horrible consequences, according to Brandon Sun. He said everyone would have to work together. Grade 12 student Tahris Bear asked Justin Trudeau at an event at her school Wednesday how he'll right the wrongs faced by Canada indigenous peoples and why he allows them to live in Third World conditions. But Bear said afterward that she didn't think Trudeau answered her question. Earlier this month, a young man in the troubled First Nation of Attawapiskat asked the federal indigenous affairs minister why his community was living in Third World conditions while Canada is greeting refugees with open arms. She said he didn't offer up any concrete actions for what steps the government would take to make the living conditions better. "His answer, honestly, went into one ear, out the other," said Bear. "I was trying really hard to focus on what he was saying, but what he said did not have really, almost anything to do with my question." Trudeau also talked about renewing the relationship with First Nations people. "Yes, the federal government has a lot of work to do, but indigenous Canadians have a lot of work to do as well and doing it together, in the same direction is going to be how we get through it," said Trudeau.
