Agreed. First Nations peoples should get the vote and the right to have elected representatives in all levels government. I just don’t understand why people would vote no to that.

seriously, I thought I would be flamed for that post

If I had 400 million I would have spent it on educating First Nations people on how to use the power they have, to vote and stand for elected government. Government has the power to make policy and direct spending.

USE YOUR POWER.

Yeah I really just do not understand why it’s a bad thing that our First Nations peoples can have more say when it comes to stuff related to them. Like I heard one wild thing was if the voice was majority yes, then First Nations peoples would kick every person out of their house.

First, what an absolutely wild assumption. Secondly, I mean that’s what white colonisers did…
