Amongst themselves, until the law biders denounce the criminals and and hold the crooks, thieves and corrupt to account the negative cycles will continue.

It must be getting harder to hide behind thinly veiled false excuses.

Dreadfully sad commentary. Not much hope for improvement when the media, the band leaders and the country's leader all cover up the root cause.

Why the intent to cover this up? It only makes it worse. Trudeau just enabled - if not guaranteed - another whole generation of systemic indigenous failure.

Exactly.

Stuff like this also helps, Harper had some accountability act or something set up but didn't the welfare Liberals repeal it? And you guys are absolutely right, if the status quo is enabled from all sides all the time, don't expect meaningful change soon.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation says a recent court decision ordering the Onion Lake Cree Nation to publish its financial documentsis a victory and re-enforces financial transparency for First Nations.

Last year, in June, Saskatchewan's Court of Queen's Bench ordered the Onion Lake Cree Nation to publish its documents as part of the First Nations Financial Transparency Act. On Monday, the province’s Court of Appeal upheld the decision.

"Grassroots people in Onion Lake Cree Nation have the right to know what is happening with the band's money," Todd MacKay, director at Canadian Taxpayers Federation, said.


Charmaine Stick has been in court trying to force the band to be more transparent with its finances.

"To know that, finally, a battle that's taken this long for not only for myself but also for First Nations all across Turtle Island," she said.

The First Nation could take the decision to the Supreme Court. For now, the taxpayers federation said Onion Lake must still comply with the court order.
