    For example - In Canada, we heavily subsidize lots of native American areas which were only relevant back when the fur trade was a thing, and would have naturally collapsed after the global economy moved on. The areas are not self sustainable, and quite frankly never were.

    Wow! New hot take just dropped! They were only self sufficient for a thousand years before colonizers came, and only became not self sufficient when we started forcibly and without consent, or regard for them changing the place they live in! The fur trade totally wasn’t unequal and exploitative and that’s totally how they always lived! Those natives are so dumb amirite?
