Social, economic conditions on all reserves in Canada violate Constitution

"It's time to end the appalling social and economic conditions of reserve communities across the country." Special to the Canada Native Issues Examiner - Me, Joel Benoit!! By Patrick Macklem The Hill Times TORONTO—With a logo based on the Inukshuk, mascots inspired by indigenous myth, and an opening ceremony laden with aboriginal culture, Canada proudly showcased the heritage of First Nations in the winter Olympics to the world. What it didn’t showcase are the appalling social and economic conditions of reserve communities across the country.

Dumped Again!

So I've been dumped again by the government work.....this is not a good situation and heading into the holiday season this making me very worried indeed as I had all these financial goals that I feel I will not be met unless I find something soon! There is aspiring words that the winter season is a better month to find work and I'll stay optomistic about the whole situation for a couple of weeks but from prior incidents..I cannot afford to wait any longer and without the emotional support mechanisms I once had, I cannot stay here in Ottawa. I wish to stay for opportunities in furthering my skills sets but if there is no financial support here for me, then I must leave. I had so many plans in this coming year and this being a big surprise, I don't know what to say. The last few months have been upsetting and my once proud foundations are all but gone.
