Welcome to Canada's Indigenous Province

Join me as we look at a comparison of Indigenous Province, to the rest of Canada's Provinces🧵

The algo is killing the reach, so appreciate the share

Indigenous Province is comprised of all the Reserve Lands, Treaty lands, and Settlement Regions

Collectively it represents 132,000 sq km and would be the 8th largest Province in Canada, bigger than Nova Scotia and New Brunswick combined

(Nunavut is n/a and its own Territory)

Indigenous Province 'settled lands' has less than half the population density than the rest of Canada's Province's 'settled lands'

Settled lands is effectively "where people live" fancily called 'ecumene'

Indigenous Province is the 5th most populated Province in Canada, with 1.8 million people

Indigenous Province has 634 distinct culture's, while the rest of Canada's Provinces only has 2

Indigenous Province has 86 Official Languages, while the rest of Canada's Provinces only has 2

The Federal Income Tax per capita in Indigenous Province is 220% less than the rest of Canada's Provinces

(People of Indigenous Province pay income taxes if not working in province {aka not working on Reserve, remember this})

The GST/HST paid by people in Indigenous Province is 150% less than people in the rest of Canada's Provinces

(People of Indigenous Province pay GST/HST if not working in Province {aka not working on Reserve})

Canadian Federal Government spending on Indigenous Province is 450% greater than the average of all other Provinces per capita

Combined Provincial and Federal spending per capita

Indigenous Province = $27,564
Other Provinces = $15,741

The per capita GDP (productivity) of people in Indigenous Province is 592% less than people in other Provinces

People from Indigenous Province who work in other Provinces are producing 60% less GDP per capita than citizens of other Provinces

On a comparative scale, the people in Indigenous Province have a GDP per capita that is the same as Iraq

People from Indigenous Province who work in other Provinces have a productivity rate just under Lithuania

The Poverty rate of people living in Indigenous Province is more than 200% greater than the rest of people in Canada's Provinces

Those working in other Provinces reduce the poverty rate to 100% greater than those not from Indigenous Province

Indigenous Province has been granted many unique applications of Canadian law, which is not available to all other people in other Provinces, including;

- Bail hearing
- Pre-sentencing
- Sentencing
- Incarceration
- In custody
- Release

The Crime rate in Indigenous Province is much higher than other Provinces

- Violent crime - 800% greater
- Homicide - 540% higher

Comparatively, on a global metric, Indigenous Province imprisonment rate compares closely to Rwanda, or Cuba

Its homicide rate is worse than Paraguay or Myanmar

Uniquely, Canada has given Indigenous Province special authority to rule over the actions of every other Province, without being held liable or responsible for their decisions

These are 9 main authorities granted

If Indigenous Province governance and performance was extended to all of Canada's Provinces and Territories, Canada's yearly economic activity would go from $2.27 Trillion to;

Down 692% - those working in Indigenous Province
Down 60% - those working in other Provinces

If the economic performance of Indigenous Province was extended to all of Canada, the annual Federal Deficit would increase 1,500% from $49 billion to $811 billion per year

Factoring those who work out of province it grows 1,100% - $595 billion deficit per year

If the performance of Indigenous Province was extended to all of Canada it would be worse than any country in history, and cease to exist

The citizens of Indigenous Province need to fix this as much as those outside it, and victimization only serves to distract from it /fin
