Considering all you need is claim to be native and have someone with status sign and vouch for you… that’s probably an easier scam than getting into the trucking business.
Hubby has had it offered to him several times at the local tim whoretons (on a rez) just merely mentioning during a convo that somewhere in his lines was some Métis at some point.
I also the other day saw a gaybook post about someone asking who can sign a status application for him or her. Replies: someone with status who has known you for 2 years. Like anyone is gonna care about the “known you for 2 years”.
To be fair, everyone should be scamming the system like this. Our government has lost the validity to government. Scam away. I think I'm going to talk to some of my native friends to look into getting a status card myself.
