Answer:
The big ones have to do with our treatment of Canada’s First Nations. Somebody got it into their head a hundred or so years ago that the best way to deal with our native population was to assimilate them into society. Children were forcibly removed from their homes and placed in residential schools.
Unfortunately, many of the people running those schools were sociopathic, and there was rampant physical abuse of the students at those schools.
That history of abuse combined with a complete absence of meaningful education, job training, or really any kind of support from the Federal Government that parted them from their land led to several generations of rampant alcoholism and drug abuse all across the country. That in turn has led to First Nations people being substantially over-represented in the court system and prison population.
It is somewhat ironic that, for a country which generally is pretty welcoming to immigrants, we save our racist tendencies for the people who were here before all the rest of us.
There is a great deal that needs to be done to right the wrongs of the past. Some of it is pretty basic, like getting clean drinking water and health care services to reservations all across the country.

Answer:
As much as water is an endangered resource, we cannot live without it.
Explanation:
A compound sentence is a sentence that has two independent clauses, meaning there should be a conjunction to connect the two clauses (FANBOYS) or a semicolon.
A complex sentence has one independent clause and one dependent clause.
Note that independent clauses can stand alone as a sentence, meaning they have both a subject and a predicate.
On the other hand, a dependent clause can not stand alone as a sentence, has both a subject and verb, and will most often start with a subordinating conjunction.
<u>We have the sentence:</u>
Water is an endangered resource and we cannot live without it.
<u>We can make it:</u>
As much as water is an endangered resource, we cannot live without it.
As much as is the subordinating conjunction that makes the first clause dependent.
"We cannot live without it" is the independent clause.
You can remove "As much as" and replace it with any subordinating conjunction that makes sense, it's just hard to find a perfect replacement for the conjunction "and."

The doctor is angry at the narrator for faking his illness.
Explanation:
From the excerpt of "Homesickness", there is a dialogue between two people; a doctor and a patient, who is revealed to be his son and narrator. From the dialogue, the narrator is faking an illness and is anxious about what the doctor will tell his school as an excuse and the doctor replies that he would cover up for him.
The doctor is angry with the narrator for faking his illness to avoid school but agrees to cover for him by telling his school he has a severe case of a stomach infection.
