Do any of the other countries have Native communities living in Third World conditions with either bad water, little water or even no water?
I always find it hilarious that anyone ranks Canada in any First World metric when everyone just glosses over the fact that portions of the population live in complete poverty by design.
It’s hilarious when you think of the fact that most of Canada is nothing but large areas of freshwater … especially in the province where I am from ‘Ontario’, an indigenous word that is in reference to ‘great lake’ or ‘sparkling water’, generally a reference to ‘fresh water’
It’s also frustrating in northern Ontario where we are literally surrounded by fresh water lakes and rivers, yet it is the same part of the country where many semi-remote and very remote communities either have little water, dirty water, tainted water or just no water.
Freedom is not well-being. We’re free to express frustrations, demands and desires, however government doesn’t feel obligated to act on it… So scores are probably right (for the moment) but it does not translates to human rights charter being fully implemented/supported by government.
Canada needs to have a higher representation of indigenous representatives in government like New Zealand does however they still have issues with inequality.
Many indigenous people run, and win, under the Conservative and Liberal banner. You have clearly made your points regarding your feelings on those two parties, but you are also saying we need more representation.
What steps are you taking personally to see more representation in Government regarding indigenous people? Would you vote Conservative or Liberal to see more of that representation?

The freedom you’re looking for costs resources. They’re more about that $0, feelgud freedom.
