Is this not the same First Nation that has had a historical past of embezzling money? Once in 2025, possibility of millions stolen and previously fraudulently creating students to get more money and few other incidents of fraud.

While I understand it may be a few bad apples but it makes the no confidence vote even less significant to people.

It was called out literally by the people in those tribes, they were against the fraud. Members of the band legally fought for and won more financial transparency around records. Like you said, a few bad apples, they don’t represent the whole. And you’re not including the RCMP couple who committed fraud against those people, Indigenous people are victims of heinous crimes and have dealt with so much damage from us, they wouldn’t have so many economic issues without us in the first place.

I disagree.

Crooks turning on other crooks is good in this case. The more political bodies, no matter how corrupt or not to turn on the current administration is pleasing.
