Officials from Indigenous Services say they’re upset that none of the communities they do the bare minimum for have thrown them a parade yet.
“So our country underfunds them for decades, holds them back when they try to do more than just survive, then when we decide to start throwing them a few bones—not a lot, mind you, no one is writing blank cheques here—they don’t even have the decency to throw us a parade?” said a department spokesperson.
“Doesn’t even have to be, like, a big parade. You know what, I’m honestly not even sure why we bother.”
The department also said that it thought for sure fighting a move to compensate First Nations children harmed by its chronic underfunding would have garnered at least a small amount of applause.
