I want everyone to have access to clean potable water. But in my community, that's the manicupalities responsibility, not the federal government. Genuine question, why is that different for first Nations?
Another genuine question. Why are so many first Nations without it, if they're all seperate communities with separately managed water systems?
Treaties for the first thing, and also just an abstract moral idea that we don't leave people behind.
For the second thing, self-perpetuating poverty and trauma.
The treaties the federal government has say they will maintain water infrastructure?
Don't get me wrong, they should, and we shouldn't leave people behind. I'm just trying to figure it all out
Hmm. I'm actually not sure. There's a bunch of treaties, and each says a bunch of things. I don't think it ever comes down to provinces to supply things for First Nations, though, which is kind of what you suggest when you call them a municipality.
