Chapter 199: Cause 2
This time, not only did the Indian tribes of all Canada begin to march in the streets, but even some Indians in the United States began to show solidarity with their Canadian compatriots, and even threatened to hold an armed uprising to take back their ancestral land.
Hong Tao couldn't help but think when he heard this: "At the beginning, because you were not united, you always wanted to pull the white people to fight other tribes, but in the end, the white people broke you all, and now I think of unity, it's too late!" Not to mention uniting all the Indians in North America to revolt, even if you unite all the colored people, it won't be enough to make a machine gun tank assault. ”
If this matter were placed in China, it would not be a problem at all, and the city management of all districts and cities would be thrown into the streets, and even the police would not have to show their faces, and for several hours the Indians who marched had to line up in front of the hospital. However, the national conditions here are different, and in the face of public opinion pressure from the outside world, the US government has also begun to complain about letting the prime minister, which roughly means:
"I said Xiao Jean, you are not reliable in this matter, isn't it just a few pocket money, can you make such a big move? Especially if you still provoke these Indians, we were about to kill people in the first place, and the means are a little dishonorable, and in the past few years, you have just used a little money to paste their mouths, and when you come like this, they have to make a fuss again, you say that I have national issues in the United States, how can I go to the world to maintain peace, and how can I blame other countries for ethnic and human rights problems! Hurry up, I don't care what you do, you have to keep the situation down for me anyway. ”
The situation has developed to this point, just waiting for the prime minister to make a statement, but this matter has a P relationship with Austin's family? Why did they run so far to join in the fun?
It turns out that Austen's grandfather is also a chief, and it is estimated that he does not get wool from that government grant every year, and now that the old chief is old, let alone a hunger strike, it is difficult to even walk, so Ignatius and Austin have to represent the old chief's faction. Assemble at Piwonac and discuss with the other chiefs how to deal with the Canadian government.
"I don't know much about the life of the Indians, are they really poor and discriminated against?" In the days when Hong Tao came to Toronto, he saw a lot of Indians, most of them with pigtails on the back of their heads, some of them mixed well, some of them begging on the sidewalk, and he couldn't figure out what the Indians were like here.
"Well, how to say, like Austen, their families are more civilized or more integrated into modern life. They are no different from us, the only difference is that they earn money and get government subsidies at the same time, while we can't. Pavey was a little unhappy with that.
"Is there a subsidy for everyone?" Hong Tao asked again.
"As long as there are people who go to the government to register, it is about more than 1,000 Canadian dollars a month." Harrison seemed to know more about the Indians, even the amount of the monthly payment.
"That's a lot, even if you don't do anything, you don't have any problems with your monthly life." As soon as Hong Tao heard this number, he knew what Lu Dao was almost capable of, and he often went shopping. I also inquired about the rent here, which is almost equivalent to the income of many newcomers from their first job, and it is definitely no problem to support 2 people.
"Most of the Indians on the reservation don't work, except for the Indians in the cities, who go to work. At most, you can earn some change from tourists during the tourist season. Harrison shook his head, although he had Indian friends like Austin, he didn't seem to be very happy with the Indians.
"Then how can they be poor? Could it be that the relief money could not be sent to them themselves, and they were all withheld? Hong Tao thought of a possibility. If that's the case, the chiefs are too grandsons.
"Oh, that can't be. The relief money must be distributed on a person-by-person basis, and no one dares to touch it. The problem is that when they get the money, they go to alcohol, drugs, gambling and prostitutes, and you see a lot of Indians in nightclubs, strip clubs and bars for the first few days of the month, and then they all disappear a few days later, and then you will see them again at the same time the next month. Harrison shook his head, rejecting Hongtao's speculation.
"Actually, they were quite miserable, when the United States and the British were at war, they sided with the British, but the British lost and withdrew, but they couldn't run; Later, when the United States fought a civil war, they were on the side of the slave holders, but the slave holders lost, the United States was unified, and both sides beat them together; We have no problem with giving them a little more money, but the money must be spent clearly and not in vain. "Pavey is clearly on the side of Jean Prime Minister, and he is in favor of strengthening state regulation.
"People are on hunger strikes, let's go have fun, is this appropriate?" Hong Tao suddenly thought of a question, these Indians are going to rally, march, hunger strike, these people run over to hunt, fishing and playing, it seems to be a very unreliable choice, in case the government dispatches the police to suppress it, and then catch yourself, then the fun will be great, you and the Indians are black hair, black eyes, don't hurt by mistake!
"Ha Lu Haha, you can know if you go, they are still on a hunger strike? They don't eat solid food, but they drink Indian fish soup, and 2 salmon with seeds make such a small pot of fish soup, and after the hunger strike, they not only won't lose weight, but they will have to gain a few pounds if they don't get it! Harrison heard Hong Tao's concern, and Harrison laughed.
"They toss theirs, let's play ours, don't worry too much, those are all government problems, it has nothing to do with us, where is the polar bear sanctuary, although it can't be hunted, but the photos are not bad, what do you say?" Pavey could tell that Hong Tao was a little worried.
Hong Tao sacrificed his own big killing weapon again, and with Harrison's help, he finally found this place called Piwonac in the northern part of Ontario near Hudson Bay. Why do you think you have found it? The main reason is that Hongtao's map is just a tourist map, and it is really not detailed enough to represent every small town, so in the place where the town of Piwonac is located, there is a landmark called Piwonac Airport.
Hong Tao according to the map marked the location roughly measured, this Piwonac from the Great Bear territory straight line distance of at least 1200 kilometers, and more than half of the distance is no highway to go, in fact, the most convenient and fast way to reach Piwonac is to take a plane, both fast and comfortable, only people like Harrison and Hong Tao this newcomer 25 will choose to drive thousands of kilometers to experience the cruelty of the harsh winter in northern Canada.
After driving onto Highway 11 from Huntsville, it was white and white, and although there was no snow in the sky, except that the highway was black and the sky was blue, no matter where you looked, it was covered in snow. The snow reflected the harsh light in the sun, and the three people in the car had to wear glasses to prevent their eyes from being blinded by the snow.
When Hong Tao and his party had traveled more than 500 kilometers, had dinner in Kapuskasin, replenished their supplies, and were ready to drive on the provincial road to the north overnight, Austin called, and the group had flown safely to Piwonac.
To say that Harrison and Pavey, the two uncle-level guys, are physically strong, and they can't see the meaning of fatigue after driving for several hours, after eating, Pavey took Harrison's place, drove down the highway, and began to drive all the way north along the ordinary road.
Hong Tao regretted it a little at this time, it was better to take a plane with Austin and them, I wanted to enjoy the scenery of Canada's north, but after driving for a long time, I didn't see the bullshit, and there were not a few cars. Now driving into the ordinary highway, the speed of the car slowed down, Hong Tao began to think that Pa Wei's driving skills were not good and did not dare to drive, but after driving for more than an hour, he realized that it was not that Pa Wei's skills were not good, but that the road conditions were too bad.
