And the Rest of It

This idiot sits in an office several hundred kilometers away from northern ghettos and he is shocked! that his empty platitudes amounted to grift and laziness:

Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller says he was alarmed by revelations of a December investigation into construction practices in on-reserve water projects and said he would like to start collecting information about the performance of contractors working on First Nations infrastructure.

“I’m keen to have as much data as possible. And if it’s helpful in ensuring that the people aren’t the subject of sharp practices, and I’m glad to do that,” Miller said in an interview on Jan.15.  

The investigation by a consortium of journalists including Global News, APTN News and the Institute for Investigative Journalism (IIJ) exposed complaints about the construction firm originally hired to upgrade the water treatment plant meant to end Neskantaga First Nation’s historic long-term boil water advisory, now in effect for 26 years.

It found allegations of excessive overcharges, deficient work, delays and racism by Kingdom Construction Ltd. (KCL) of Ayr, Ont., which has worked on at least seven major water and wastewater projects on First Nations. In total, these projects are valued at close to $90 million in funding from the federal government, but how much KCL earned from the work is unknown.


Quelle surprise. 



What is something Mark Zuckerberg said?:

Australians are also deleting their accounts and asking their friends to share phone numbers before deleting their platforms permanently.  Hashtags #DeleteFacebook and #BoycottZuckerberg have also been trending on Twitter as users protest against the social media platform’s decision to delete their news feed.

Canada vowed on Thursday to make Facebook Inc pay for news content, seeking allies in the media battle with tech giants and pledging not to back down if the social media platform shuts off the country’s news as it did in Australia.

 

 

Andrew Cuomo is a son-of-a-b!#ch:

 


It's a dying language in this country. Euthanise it:

Private employers for the first time would be compelled to speak French nationwide under a cabinet proposal to rewrite the 1969 Official Languages Act. “The private sector has a role to play,” said a federal report.
