Sounds like a plan, first we take apart Quebec, then we take every province one by one...A coup-d’état and we'll use the Canadian legal system to do it all - not one shot fired.
Then you can buy it back at fair market value and never have to worry about giving an Indian another red cent of your money again!
Sounds like a win-win!
Sure. We'll just buy it all back for a a few cases of whiskey.
If natives had that ability then sadly the majority of reserves wouldn't be places of such misery and despair. When I lived in Kenora we had loads of natives basically living on the streets. Why? They were there because they were kicked off the reserve for one reason or another.
In other words they got rid of their own people who weren't pulling their weight leaving us to take care off. Under your scenario we'll make sure to give everyone of them back.
Another thing that happened on a frequent basis in Kenora was free chopper rides into town. Natives would often call emerg dispatch with a faked medical emergency claiming to need to be airlifted in. By law my hospital had to respond and all to often the person miraculously recovered just as the helo set down. Off they went until they came back expecting a ride back home.
You can be rest assured that won't happen again. You can train your own medical staff and buld your own hospitals.
