New book’s suggestion that a wave of native entrepreneurialism would flow from property rights is dreaming in technicolour 
By Peter Foster
A boriginal people are just like us. They have the same desire to “better their condition” and acquire property, and the same “propensities to trade.” The problem is that they don’t live in the same conditions or cultural environment as us. It costs Canadian taxpayers billions of dollars each year to keep native people in a squalid state of isolated dependency. Meanwhile there is a vast “Aboriginal Industry” whose interests are dependent on exploiting white guilt, extolling primitive “culture” and suggesting that the solution to all problems lies in self-government and successful land claims.

I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
