QOTW

Don't blame me. Blame the CBC....

Oh shoot, before I read the link I thought this was going to be a thread about the Liberals drunken performance in parliament today.

Whoops...
So much for "personal responsibility".

Stricker - are you following the continuing discussion here?

LOL!

I need a drink after seeing CBC on SDA.

Naw couldn't be, probably all broken up about the dying polar bears and were mistaken for drunk.

This would be front page news if any seals and European alcohol were consumed.

When I say, I'm a raaaaaacist.

Gee what a surprise !!!

Kate, that discussion on Facebook is funny. How long can you keep those turkeys going?

I see sled people.

In 2002 the community at Davis Inlet (about 700) was moved to a brand new location at a cost of $200 million. New school, sports complex, etc. I thought it was an expensive experiment doomed to fail but there had been much weeping on CBC about the social problems and the fact that the suicide rate for kids was 12 times the national average. So the government acted. http://archives.cbc.ca/society/poverty/clips/11526/

Now it appears not much has changed. Money keep pouring in and problems continue. If you watch the clip, towards the end, the reporter asks where the money from INCO has gone (beside gov't money, INCO pays to run a mine in the vicinity). The leader said it was secret. Apparently, all matters relating to money are secret. One fellow who signed the invoice for bringing booze in was a member of the council. A bottle of booze went for around $300 and there didn't seem to be a problem to come up with the money. It's a sad, sad thing but it looks as if all the millions of dollars only served to move the problems along with the people.

I can't believe the CBC left the comments open!

McCallum fell off the wagon agin????

Prohibition is a band aide. Has never worked, & never will.
If you want real sobriety. Change the focus of the Culture from one of eternal adolescent dependency on Government. Into one of construction with individual responsibility owning their own efforts.
People with pride in what they do or earn, don't have to prop themselves up with booze.
Although living in a land of snow covered waste all year would depress a saint.

When you have no where to go (work) and nothing to do......and enough money and food...why not drink....may be the FOOD Bank should open a branch there so people at least have some where to go.....

Obviously not all tribes are created equal.

RE: KG McMillan's comments on Stinkyfingers fb pg.

so if Wall can't have a 2nd residence in Arizona does this mean all the Albertan's that have cabins in NW Sask should sell too?

Hey, fair is fair. Talk about unintended consequences LOL

Sorry to poop in the thread, but word is coming out of Ottawa that the Coulter event had to be canceled because volunteers were attacked by "anti-racists".

All they need is some berries, water, sugar and yeast...presto wine! How can they stop that from happening?

"All they need is some berries, water, sugar and yeast...presto wine! How can they stop that from happening?"

You really expect alcoholics to educate themselves, wait several weeks, bottle, even allow the primary fermentation to complete? and those berries don't pick themselves, that requires hard labor!

When the government gives you more cash than you know what to do with what's a measly $100 for a mickey of Silent Sam vodka eh? :P

Aw come on. It's not like the liberals little experiment cost us anything... oh? never mind.

The Indian Act is the most reprehensible thing Canada has inflicted on pre-columbians.

Guns don't kill people, drunk people kill people.

The burning question (please pardon the pun!) is 'were these people smoking cigarettes?', if so; then they are indeed reprobates in the first degree ..guilty of child abuse, slow suicide, infringing on the AGW RIGHT to cool the earth.....

If I was a Native American I'd be shitfaced all the time too.

Hell, Mr. pok, I'm not even related to a native, and it works for me.
