Gimbol's diatribe and screed

From the "no its not pandering" file

Of course, the AFN's enthusiasm for the Liberals is not unrelated to the $5-billion promised by the Liberals at Kelowna last year, most of which would have found its way to the band chiefs in the room.

quote by Stephanie:

He called Kelowna a "great agreement" that would solve problems with housing, infrastructure, health and education. In fact, on education Kelowna talked vaguely about "supporting innovative educational initiatives" but it was a funding agreement, not a plan of action. First Nations, provinces and territories signed on because they were being given no-strings-attached cash by Ottawa, but no one had the slightest idea what they were going to spend it
on.
