Alcoholism is not hereditary.
Yes a person might be genetically predisposed to addiction, but that alone will not make him an addict.
For example, if as son as he becomes aware of his predisposition, he takes appropriate measures such as abstinence, then no addiction will occur. He'll just need to be more careful, that's all.
However, due to the residential school system, many suffer PTSD and pass it on as transgenerational trauma to their children. The pain of PTSD can lead some to look for ways to medicate their emotions. That combined with predisposition becomes a dangerous mix.
Though even, a person with the right help and support might be able to avoid it, but'not easy.

it was just fair trade (not like that manhatten deal) - nicotine addiction for alcohol addiction. lol
According to the parliamentary budget officer, Harper's tax policies halted the steady rise in income inequality and then reversed it to its lowest point in decades. Incomes of lower and middle income earners rose while taxes also increased on wealthier people. I don't expect reality to influence your thinking, of course, but those are the facts.
They already had booze just not year round with nearly on demand access. Add water to a clay pot of berries and it will ferment without having to do anything else. It doesn't work to well in winter.
Going by B0Ner's train of thought we made them addicts by genetic manipulation.
exactly. So poverty isn't the issue.. the Canadian Gov't provides enough money to the reservations.
Is Alcoholism Hereditary? Studies Suggest Yes
Early European settlers introduced Native Indians to alcohol, that is a historical fact.. even though some historians have tried to remove that from the history books out of shame and embarrassment of their ancestors.
Not to mention we also introduced them to White Man diseases that they had no immunity too, narcotics (opium) and so on.. (..and then we stole their land)
So there...
Going to cost them billions to leave too, may put them in debt.
Britain will be handed £50bn exit bill by EU when Theresa May triggers Article 50, chief negotiator for Brussels warns
All of which would have happened no matter who arrived here. And newsflash, EVERY ancient society drank some kind of fermented beverage because straight water was a killer for them. With all those nasty little microbes and bacteria and viruses that they didn't know about that were, and still are, the cause of many illnesses and deaths.
Not if they're smart.Going to cost them billions to leave too, may put them in debt.
They were stupid to leave. If there really is no turning back, then the UK would be wise to transform itself into a Singapore north and promote CANZUK. It would counterbalance the harm of leaving the EU at least somewhat.

That's why I won't hold my breath on CANZUK. Sure we should invite the UK to join, but let's work on CANZ in the mean time.
Maybe even CANZUS, though the US holds little hope of joining too.
Exactly. We could invite the UK and US to join, but make it clear that we are not going to wait for them while we work on CANZAU in the meantime.
And an open CANZAU, not Fortress CANZAU.
I'd even invite Singapore and Hong Kong to join too, though China would probably not allow Hong Kong to join.
Though China might allow Hong Kong to join in a limited way, like in free movement of people but no more than that, which would still be better than nothing.
I'd invite South Africa and Ireland to join too.
If it's an open CANZAU, the EU might allow Ireland to join in some limited capacity like China would Hong Kong. Maybe even a free-movement agreement between CANZAU and the EU.
Oops, the UK wouldn't like that. But the UK might agree to join as a junior partner allowing free movement between CANZUK but not with the other member states.
Who the fukk wants the USA to join a Commonwealth group of countries.. duh?
Only English speaking countries.. thanks..
The UK eventually when they get their shit together..
Don't you even know what CANZUK is.. dafaq?

Yes they had booze.
Fruit and corn never fermented before whitie got here?
They have ridiculous debt and their standard of living is high.
The only time debt is a real problem is when you owe someone that can enforce consequences. Like with Greece in the EU.
Otherwise, it's a fake tool for fear mongering.
