Canada needs to have a higher representation of indigenous representatives in government like New Zealand does however they still have issues with inequality.
After looking at the stats, it seems Maori are rather fairly represented in terms of their population (25% in parliament vs 17% of general population), however the quality of life for Maori is still below that of other ethnicities in terms of health and life expectancy.
The current government is rather corrupt (seen through my viewpoint as a kiwi, not USA levels) and hasn’t done the Maori population any favours.
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?
