" Our governments would be better off investing the subway money in 1 of these mega projects. I'm hoping it's the Ring." Depends on what you consider "better off"? As far as getting re-elected goes the government would be better off spending the money where the voters are. They know that and that is part of the problem. Furthermore any huge expenditures on the natives by any government is not going to get them what they want and will end up being their downfall. If the government had any long term vision they would abolish the Indian Act and the reservation system and treat everyone as equals.
