by system i mean the way the funding is doled out to the bands, for example one band in canada got a lot of heat last year for getting millions in funding that could never be accounted for while their people live in trailers with no heat or running water. there needs to be more accountability for how the money is spent ensuring that if they are going to get it, it's spent properly.

but i know how you think. fuck everyone, no one deserves help or any handouts, you just expect people to suck it up. well guess what, that is no going to work no matter how high you hold your nose in the air at these people. its a cultural problem that needs help and understanding to change. not ignorance and apathy.
