This whole thing has been a scam against the taxpayer from day one and continues to be and this is the worst they were rejected claims, what the &^%$ why is the Canadian taxpayer given these people anything. This never stops and is an affront to the taxpayers of this country who work hard and pay taxes, as these inept governments continue to spend into the heavens. 

If the Globe and Mail thinks this is so right, then send the Natives your personal cheque and do not claim it back as a charity at tax time. I can send the Globe the name of many reserves who would happily accept their money.

By the way interest rates are going to start to rise, then what are they going to do ?
