Nearly a decade after the federal government suspended enforcement of Canada's Indigenous transparency law, most Alberta First Nations have ceased publicly publishing financial audits.
Any group receiving taxpayer money should be accountable and report how it is/has been spent. It should be a sine qua non condition to receiving said money.
If the Chiefs' were to make their financial Audits public, the natives of those tribes would find out how corrupt their band leaders are. Hidden from the public - is hidden from the Tribe.
The rest of us are sick of the constant whining, guilt trips, and ransom demands of First Nations, not just in Alberta, but across Canada. It's time to abolish Indian Affairs, Reserve system and the gravy train, which only results in money for nothing.
Also time to demand that all "separate" nations within Canada, both domestic and foreign be prepared to assimilate into society and large, respect our values and laws, or be prepared to face the consequences or leave. When they are responsible for their own welfare, only then will we see change.
We haven't been at this particular crucial point before. The present government is rudderless, and we natives are getting restless. We can no longer afford or sustain the tsunami of immigration, bloated government or social programs of the last 10 years. I think, I hope, the rubber has finally hit the road. Time to wake up.
The rubber hit the road a long time ago. Unfortunately, the Liberals and those that support them are living in a dreamland fantasy where the west continues to fund them endlessly.
Remember that Trudeau gave $Millions plus power to the Wet'suwet'en First Nation hereditary chiefs who oppose a natural gas pipeline in their traditional territory in the province of British Columbia. He gave the indigenous chiefs the cash. Not the tribes. Not the real chiefs.

Great comment...far too many non-contributors being let into Canada for the free ride that must not continue to be paid by taxpayers. Maybe the Parliamentarians need to be supporting and paying for the insanity they have created. NO MORE FREAKING SALARY INCREASES UNTIL YOU FOOLS FIX THE MESSES YOU HAVE CREATED THESE PAST 10 YEARS.
Salary freezes, reducing the size of government, including useless departments and employees, cutting funding to useless and ridiculous causes,
stopping immigration...the list goes on. There are so many things they could do, but the Liberal's only solution to everything is to throw more money at it and hope it solves itself or the problem goes away. But as long as Liberal Lemmings keep voting for them, it's a hopeless situation that everyone else pays for.
And why is it an estimate? Which is a clear indication that their records are sketchy at best. I'm willing to bet that ICE Director Tom Homan knows more about our non-permanent residents than we do. If our records were accurate, people who are illegal and scheduled for deportation would be long gone.
Albertans - get informed about the vote to leave confederation. Alberta Prosperity Project. A referendum on separation from ze penetrated WEF led cabinet in Ottawa is long overdue. Time to go and set our own pathway...one without Ottawa, Quebec or Onterrible.
It is not the Liberals money to give away. It is the Canadian taxpayers money. I am so tired of reading how the liberal government think they should give our hard earned tax dollars where they feel fit. There should be a vote, not just for the billions given to the ungrateful indigenous who feel they are entitled to it but also the billions they give to the Ukraine. It is time for the backbone of the country to have a say in how things are done. People voted for mark believing his lies. This too needs to be corrected.
Harper did the tribes and the taxpayer a favour by demanding to know where the money was going. Trudeau was and Carney is the corrupt chiefs and councils best friend.
I believe it was Trudeau that repealed the law Conservatives passed requiring fn to submit accounting reports re the government funds received by their bands. Ugh!
Well the "gravy train" that goes to Ottawa and Quebec must be voted on by the taxpayers in all of the Provinces, based on annual Federal budgets identifying how much, and on what and where and to whom our tax dollars are going to and accomplishing in each category of funding for each Province and Territory.
Anyone with a brain knows there’s no such thing as “government money”, the government creates nothing, they only take. It should always be stated as “taxpayers money “, because that’s what it is! Unfortunately, they throw it around with no regard or respect for the hardworking taxpayers, who will relatively see no benefit from it, because it’s going to government salaries, thousands of bureaucrats, ideological pet projects, etc.
Here we are 8 years later and the federal liberals are still stonewalling, it all goes back to the worst prime minister in our history setting up his world agenda according to his far left woke ideas.
Now the new guy is not proving to be any better at this point in time!
The "new guy" is proving to be deeply flawed and conflicted. He should NOT be in charge of any finance issues at all. Taxpayers need a more trustworthy set up to manage how our taxes are being spent.
I wonder what would happen if all of us opposed to the nonsensical spending of our money, would stop paying taxes? It would be a rude awakening for the government 🙄
Unfortunately that would only achieve what the government is already trying to do -- bankrupt Canada. It is part of the WEF agenda, to bankrupt Canada and every other country so that they can implement digital money, a state-given income, and implement social financial controls over each citizen, so that we no longer have any freedoms under a techno-tyrannical dictatorship. The WEF has stated this clearly on their list of objectives.
Yes, and it is treason for unelected WEF idiots and their ideologies to have anything to do with OUR taxpayer dollars. We do NOT owe the WEF anything but a well-placed KICK out of their clubhouse in Switzerland.
Of course the Liberals do not want to force tax-paid indigenous bands to be transparent in financial affairs. If the native bands are expected to be transparent, the next thing you know tax-payers would expect the Liberals to be transparent. We couldn't have that, now could we?
Oh yes we could expect that, as citizens we are both the taxpayers and the shareholders. Trudeau wouldn't know what that means, but Carney certainly does. We have legal rights to vote a government OUT OF OFFICE and to hold a rogue government accountable for their malfeasance.
Then cut off any of their bursary's or whatever you call them, all funds from us taxpayers and fine them like the rest of us would be.

Not in Trudeaus world.
Why they are just operating the same way as the lieberal mob is. So that should be okay.
They are operating like the Lieberal mob but it isn’t okay
Thought I might get a rise out of someone. It was a bit of sarcasm.
I did know that but still felt compelled to yap
👍😊

Good luck. No Federal government has had the guts to cut down on waste and idiocy.

I'm with you on that for sure. But it's not going to happen, not as long as we are under this lieberal un regime.
Absolutely. All the more reason to get rid of them ASAP.
Estimate of the number of non‑permanent residents
(April 1, 2025)
2,959,825
And why is it an estimate? Which is a clear indication that their records are sketchy at best. I'm willing to bet that ICE Director Tom Homan knows more about our non-permanent residents than we do. If our records were accurate, people who are illegal and scheduled for deportation would be long gone.
Yes, and I have no doubt the stats are "iffy" at best...I suppose non permanent residents could be anywhere in Canada or the USA by now.

Trudeau killed the Native cash transparency immediately.
It must be great to be given money and not be accountable for it whatsoever.
Well the "gravy train" that goes to Ottawa and Quebec must be voted on by the taxpayers in all of the Provinces, based on annual Federal budgets identifying how much, and on what and where and to whom our tax dollars are going to and accomplishing in each category of funding for each Province and Territory.

Take all the money off the table and racial benefits and we will have no Indian problems.

What's the solution? A revolution, before they take our weapons?

The lieberals want to keep their crown jewels happy.
In Canadian politics there are NO CONSEQUENCES for illegal or immoral behaviour. None. Ever.
They won’t show us what they are doing with our money that the government gives them but they cry about reconciliation..
