Government’s acts are always foolish in the mouse of its citizens. However, in these citizens’ mind they like the “protection” government provided. Just like these local Canadians, they fought back the “Indian Act” on their mouse, but the truth is they like to be protected by the new government. They have their materialized benefit of having zero tax which gives them a much more viable economic status compared with the foreign people.

Compared to their cultural discrimination, local Canadians, in their soul choose to kneel down toward materialized benefit.

 (Indian bow to the government)

And now, the government finds out that their cultural invasion has been so successful that they do not need to give welfare to the local Canadians. So, they was trying to show out another policy to make “a fair play” for all Canadians. Now, the local people in their mouse say the government learned to respect them while in their heart being sad for losing their privileges.

Nonetheless, what can they do? They could only say yes to the new policy because now the key to the play is not on their hand anymore.

Government, on the surface maximized the utility for Canada. When the truth is the huge profit for hundred years of cultural invasion has to be even more.
