Cut them off completely! No power, no phone service no nothing until they negotiate trade agreements with both Canada and the United States. Canada didn't want Quebec to go but these bums...I say CYA and the first one that comes out and says that I am obligated to provide for these smugglers and hellions can kiss my rosey red rectum. I am done putting up with this blackmail!

That apartheid wall the Israelis built to keep suicide bombers out sounds like it could use an equivalent in certain parts of Canada, i.e. Akwesasne, Caledonia, southwest Calgary, etc. We could set up tolls and get some our tax money back.
Maybe if the Canadian government lived up to treaties it and antecedents powers signed, we could move forward and appeal to reasonable people on reserves. More than a 100 years of delaying and preventing land claim cases from being negotiated honestly is a national SHAME. Embarrassing, because it means we don't live up to our word. Up until the 1970s, politicians refused to admit Eugenics programs, cultural extermination and theft of children with residential schools was unacceptable.
It wasn't Aboriginals who came up with race based reserves. It was a racialist Canada.
If your word is your bond, we as a nation have lied for longer than any single human being has lived.
Mandate land claims and arbitration, pay out what we promised, and create a political, educational and social framework to rectify the separation by race that was UNCONSCIONABLE.
