At risk of doxxing myself, I'll say that I know one of her daughters personally from when I was younger, in my university days.
The charges were dropped for both the daughters when the mother accepted guilt, but make no mistake that the daughters are 100% complicit in this fraud. They've taken hundreds of thousands in tuition dollars and scholarships as well as native-only government business grants. As faux natives they've never paid any tax in their entire lives. One went to law school entirely on the taxpayers' dime -- and she got in just for being "native" -- which is approximately $100k in tuition even in Canada.
These girls absolutely knew what they were doing, and the court claiming to make an example of the "mother" here is an absolute farce when the girls walk scot-free after also defrauding Canadians for years. The mother was a convicted serial fraudster even before this and several of their family members have shunned them for years prior. Fuck every single thing about this case and them.
You get no argument from me. I can't stand all the perks they get, but it'll be a long while before this country smartens up and revokes it all. There are about a thousand political battles that need to be won before that.
But anyway, this case clearly demonstrates that it's advantageous to be a native. Any leftist who argues for the poor disenfranchised minorities can twist themselves into a pretzel explaining the motives in this one.
Mandatory reminder that the Inuit are not native to the Canadian Arctic. They genocided their way from Alaska to Greenland and finally Northern Quebec possibly as late as 1500, shortly before the French arrived in Quebec.
So they are as ''Aboriginal'' as the ethnic Quebecois.
As faux natives they've never paid any tax in their entire lives.
None of it takes away from your overall point, but this absolutism is certainly untrue. (Unless there's additional Inuit exemptions that I am aware of).
They would've been exempt from provincial/territorial sales taxes but still had to pay federal ones on consumer purchases off reserve.
Same with income taxes. They would've paid provincial/territorial & federal taxes on any income earned off a reserve.
So they would've benefited from exemptions on things like provincial sales taxes and taxes on gasoline, but still would've been paying other sucker taxes.
Thank you, didn't know this. Sidenote, one thing I appreciate about this place (and your comment) is how corrections are mostly offered respectfully. Your response actually got me looking into the Indian Act and native tax exemptions to better educate myself.
Since they were claiming to be Inuit in the High Arctic but living down south, it's certainly possible that they managed to benefit from other Northern tax perks that I'm unfamiliar with.
I know the rules better for mainland Canada where the biggest distinction is on vs off reserve jurisdictions.
Given Inuits don't live on reserves AFAIK, there may be different idiosyncrasies how things work up in the tundra.
At risk of not doxxing myself at all, I know a bunch of people who claimed to be Indian to get preferential admissions and scholarships in the US. No one did shit. I think there are some barriers for people who just want to take, but I've never heard of a prosecution.
Instead of jailing her, how about scrapping race-based benefits for Inuit, who genocided the Native Americans who lived in the Canadian Arctic a few centuries ago?
Of course it is politically-incorrect to flat out say the Inuit genocided the Dorset.
We're supposed to believe the Dorset simply ''moved'' without leaving a genetic trace anywhere among other ethnic groups, and ''took their high seas boats'' ( lol ) to ''move'' when, after being pushed to Eastern Greenland, had nowhere left to go and ''moved'' from there too.
The Inuit had folk stories about them fighting and killing ''giants'' who inhabited the land before them.
Yeah, it does appear to be very suspicious. And their low numbers and state of technological development made them ideal candidates for territorial acquisition through 'forceful means'. "Kill them all!"
Wait, doesn’t this ruling fall afoul of Canada‘s self identification laws?
Self identification only applies to gender. Not ethnicity. This is because of reasons.
Income from casinos < Income from mutilated vulnerable people and kids, I guess.

I would argue that Canada has been defrauding its citizens by making these sweet deals for the "natives" to begin with.
They were conquered hundreds of years ago and allowed to live. They can get the fuck over it.

Honestly this sounds based as fuck and I think everyone should do this.
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
If everyone did this we'd be closer to getting rid of it. I am Spartacus.

Any good link to read about that?

Ah, The Warren Maneuver.
In Australia if you say you are aboriginal they don't check.
That would explain all the blond aboriginals. :')
