Living in the perpetual Anglos vs Francos battleground that is Quebec, I didn't even realize there were so many issues with the First Nations until this last election. I don't read the news much so the extent of my knowledge constituted the couple months in school spent learning the difference between Iroquoiens and Algonquiens and the sight of the same group drunk aboriginals downtown for the past 10 years :(

I feel they really have not been part of the narrative for too long and we have failed them greatly by shoving their problems aside by pretending they don't exist... I hope to see a positive change soon: we owe it to all Canadian citizens to be treated well.
