"I have many FN friends who do not live on the reserve and hold good jobs.."

My uncle owns a steel framing company for large office buildings and condo's, mainly in downtown Toronto. I'd say 90% of his crew are FN people. Ive seen those men work and let me tell you, theres no amount of money I could be paid to do what they do. Far from lazy. Every race and nationality has a stereotype. Im sure some of us dont even have to look to far into our own extended famililes to find ours :)
