It's a cash cow and excuse for "some " natives certainly not all and it's a vote buyer for politicians is all it is. To many people believe the first thing they are taught and read not enough self educating in our countries. It's going to get worse before it gets better but I have faith it will get better.

          Thanks for that, going to be more inquisitive about what my children are being introduced to in school.  I've had some red flags already.  Somewhat unrelated but my boy is in grade four and one of their class projects was to take a position on the oilsands and argue it.  To me that is a ridiculous topic to have students of that age develop an argument for.  I don't currently work in the oilsands but it has put food on our table and I'm glad he mentioned it as it was a good opportunity to instill a few early life lessons as to how things work.  The whole thing came off as an early attempt at brainwashing to me.  Thinking back now there is a lot of brainwashing that goes on in our education system.
