SURREY – Métis Nation British Columbia (MNBC) has produced a follow-up to a report produced last year, A Tale of Two Nations, which highlighted the inequities of the treatment of the Métis in BC.
A Tale of Two Nations demonstrated where the historic and current imbalances in provincial funding for the Métis Nation exist, the lack of recognition for the Métis Nation, and examines the rationale provided by the provincial government for this current reality.
MNBC has issued a report card for Premier John Horgan’s government comparing him to Ontario Premier Doug Ford, on their respective work with Métis governments.
While BC deserves praise for its work in Advanced Education and Skills Training, the rest of the categories show clear discrepancies, with the worst offender being the Ministries of Health and Mental Health. Out of a population of nearly 15 million, there are over 120,000 Métis in Ontario. In comparison to BC, where there are 5 million total inhabitants, there are 90,000 Métis.
