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.

Canadians in the lowest income group are 3 to 4 times more likely than those in the highest income group to report poor to fair mental health.

We had a low dollar and a recession under Harper.

Nobody won - which is the conbot way, by the way.

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.

it was just fair trade (not like that manhatten deal) - nicotine addiction for alcohol addiction. lol
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.

you need cash to buy alcohol or drugs

exactly. So poverty isn't the issue.. the Canadian Gov't provides enough money to the reservations.

Alcoholism is not hereditary.

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...

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.

Going to cost them billions to leave too, may put them in debt. ;)
Not if they're smart.

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.

CANZAU

Canada, New Zealand & Australia

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.

Why are we idiots? For making fun of your developmental inadequacies?

That's great but we aren't Japanese.

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.
