No wonder so many apply. It is like the lottery, only better because it never ends. 
The descendants of  those who got accepted will never pay HST , their kids will get  $30,000/year to attend university (including tuition, residence, books, travel) for as many years the want.....even though they will have mixed  with non natives and have, after several generations,  a minuscule amount of 'native' blood in them and live like every other Canadian live.
