Looking at the top picture accompanying this article, I am wondering whether this fair skinned young woman with the fair haired little boy ever asks herself what is better for her son: bringing him up in the tradition of exploiting the threadbare victimization tale or in bringing him up in the mainstream of Canadian life. Certainly, neither she nor he would have any difficulty blending into our society. Efforts in that sense should be encouraged and supported by the government but not the defeatist clinging to a spurious tale of imagined wrongs.

BTW: What percentage of a person's ancestry has to be aboriginal to qualify for either the government's largesse or permission to live on a reserve or both?
