Gull-Masty's Funding Boost: Progress or Patch?

0:00Indigenous Services, Minister Mandy Goh, Masthe just dropped billions in federal funding to keep key programs for First Nations running. These deals were new support that was set to dry up by the end of March, covering everything from health to community services. This move hits after last fall's budget left, Indigenous needs with next to nothing, signaling the liberal government might be steering back toward. Real commitments, it's part of a fresh wave of agreements and promises from Indigenous Services Canada. Folks are helling it as a step forward, but not everyone's sold. Former Liberal MP, Robert Falcon Welllet, argues true respect means drawing hard lines on Indigenous priorities, not just slow government drips. Goh, Masthe calls it, progress matching the government's rhythm, while critics push for faster, bolder action to match community urgency. As these funds roll out, the real test is whether they bill lasting trusts or just patch old, gaps eyes stay glued on Ottawa's next play. That's the story for today.
