This is outrageous. A small town in Michigan did everything right to stop OpenAI & Oracle from building a $16 billion data center in their town. The people of Saline Township flooded their council meeting, put up signs all over town, and convinced their officials to reject it. The officials voted against the data center 4-1, and that should have been the end. But two days later the developers sued, and the town couldn’t afford to fight back in court. We are not a free nation when billion-dollar corporations can take over the land of our communities and towns. We are a captive nation ruled by corporations and billionaires.

**Yes, that's a reasonable approximation for total government spending per registered Indian:** the ~$28,700 from the targeted $32B federal Indigenous budget (programs, services, infrastructure) plus the ~$16,600 baseline consolidated social spending (health, education, social protection) that applies across the population where accessible. This makes per capita support substantially higher than for non-Indigenous Canadians, excluding the additional $50B+ in settlements/trusts since 2015. Delivery varies widely (on-reserve vs. off-reserve), and accountability/transparency issues persist as highlighted earlier in the thread.

@grok @Martyupnorth So that would indicate around $28k + $16k or $44k spent by the government annually on registered Indians per capita, not including the various trusts set up from the $50B of settlements.

@grok @Martyupnorth What’s the per capita social spending per non-Indian in Canada?

**Roughly $16,600 CAD per capita in combined government social spending (health $6,468 + education $3,370 + social protection $6,805) for 2024/25 (StatCan consolidated data).** This is the baseline for non-Indigenous Canadians (~40.4 million people). The $32B federal Indigenous budget is *additional* targeted support for registered Indians on top of general programs in many areas.

**Roughly $28,700 CAD per registered Indian annually from the $32B federal Indigenous budget.** As of Dec 2024 there were about 1.116 million registered Indians. That $32B covers programs, services, infrastructure, etc.—not direct per-person payments. The $50B+ in settlements/claims since 2015 is additional one-time funding (varies widely by band/claim) and has also built up trust funds.

@Martyupnorth @grok what does that work out to per registered Indian in Canada?

Non-compliance with First Nations Financial Transparency Act has increased to a staggering 59% over past 10 years....and Ottawa doesn't care. The annual federal Indigenous budget has ballooned to roughly $32 billion. On top of that, add over $50 billion in settlements and claims since 2015, which as created tens of billions more in trust funds and investments. Yet the First Nations Financial Transparency Act (meant to ensure basic audited statements and compensation disclosure) is collapsing: only 41% of First Nations complied for 2024/25, with 59% refusing to report. The Trudeau government stopped enforcing penalties after 2015, and the system is dying. Even when reports are filed, they often hide the details on hiring, contracting, business deals, and trust fund decisions where waste, kickbacks, and mismanagement happen. Multiple high-profile cases involve allegations of corruption, nepotism, and reckless spending of public and settlement money. This is your money.... with weak or no accountability to band members or Canadian taxpayers. fraserinstitute.org/studies/transp…

@JayGenXer @Sunshineways66 And the ports of BC. Hmm, longshoreman union, hell's Angel's. Look into those!

🚨CANADA’S AIRPORTS ARE WIDE OPEN FOR DRUG SMUGGLERS 🚨 CTV/W5 just dropped the bombshell: 125,000+ security clearances approved at our four biggest airports in the last 5 years. 7,500 employees were flagged for serious security concerns… and got approved anyway. Organized crime is corrupting staff. Everyday passengers are being turned into unwitting drug mules. Dozens of Canadians are getting arrested and detained around the world because of it. Whistleblowers tried to warn us. The government won’t give straight answers. This is why the Pearson gold heist happened — and why it keeps happening. Watch the full W5 investigation 👇 #CanadianAirports #DrugSmuggling #BorderSecurity #PearsonHeist #OrganizedCrime #LiberalFail #TwoTierCanada #W5

THIS IS A MASSIVE SCANDAL FOR CARNEY! During the damn election, Mark Carney stood there with a straight face and claimed he owned nothing but cash and personal real estate, right?? like some regular guy with no hidden interests. Now we find out, after committee testimony, ethics disclosures, and him voting for Bill C-15, that it looks like a blatant lie. Democracy Watch is straight-up accusing him of breaking the law! Are you kidding me?! This is the kind of arrogant, insider elitist garbage that makes people sick of politicians. He lectures everyone else about transparency and ethics while apparently playing games with the rules? “ Canada Last, Brookfield Filthy Rich! “ If this holds up, Carney didn’t just mislead voters he betrayed the public’s trust in broad daylight. This needs real consequences, not another polite committee slap on the wrist. Enough with the hypocrisy! REPOST THIS IF YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH! GOD BLESS CANADA 🇨🇦❤️

This is homicidal

INSANE A corrupt mayor in Laval stole millions from his city. He pleaded guilty in 2016. $7M was recovered from his Swiss bank account. The CRA then sent a $1 million bill for unpaid taxes. Now Ottawa is paying that bill with federal tax dollars. Our taxes are paying the tax on the money a corrupt mayor stole. And the Minister of Finance authorized this.

U.S. citizens are not required to carry proof of citizenship in the United States. Ask: “Am I free to leave?” Say: “I choose to remain silent.” Say: “I do not consent to a search.” Fight ICE, fight Trump, fight fascism with constitutional and lawful advice: gofundme.com/f/PAXIS

🚨🚨The Trump Crime Family is more corrupt than the totality of All Previous Organized Crime Families Combined in the history of the United States. ——————————————— I spent thirty (30 years investigating Major Organized Crime Families & Gangs and without a doubt, Donald Trump has committed more crimes against the United States of America and its citizens than all Organized Crime Syndicates. TRUMP is directly responsible for the theft of billions of dollars and the systematic destruction of our economy, the rule of law and our democracy. TRUMP must be Impeached and Removed from office by the U.S. Congress this year. Both Democrats & Republicans must join together to save our nation.

Former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb slams Trump’s $1.8B defense fund: "this is really just a criminal conspiracy to steal money from the taxpayers." This morning on a Truth Social post, Trump said that Americans should thank him for the $1.8B taxpayer funded slush fund: “I gave up a lot of money in allowing the just announced Anti-Weaponization Fund to go forward. I could have settled my case…for an absolute fortune.” The most corrupt president in American history, by far.

CANADIAN AIRPORT EMPLOYEES ARE SOUNDING THE ALARM! WE HAVE A NATIONAL EMERGENCY IN THIS COUNTRY AND CBC NEWS DOESNT EVEN MENTION THE STORY FROM @avehaines AT ALL! THOUSANDS AT OUR AIRPORTS HAVE BEEN GRANTED RESTRICTED ACCESS WITH SECURITY CONCERNS.

@lifewitsonduren I have seen some extremely shady stuff at Kitchener and Abbotsford. Extremely shady. YYZ is insane. I wouldn't even PARK near there.

Canada’s reckless Foreign Minister Anita Anand just pledged 64 million euros—over $100 million borrowed Canadian dollars—to build military bases in Latvia while families line up at record food banks and soldiers are ordered to return gear. This is elite treason: flush taxpayer cash abroad, ignore desperate citizens at home. Stop the madness.

Canadian PM Mark Carney: "Large American online platforms have become seas of racism, misogyny, antisemitism, islamophobia and hate in all its forms... My government will act."

@joeroganhq This fvking midget sounding like Keir Starmer the more he opens his pie hole.
