More thoughts
I missed an opportunity with this post. (And not the obvious one that advertising of tobacco and promotion of its use to children is illegal.)
Instead of serving it straight up, I ought to have replaced the Cancer Care and Health Canada logos with those of Imperial and Rothmans and watch the fur fly from the left about the criminal actions of Big Tobacco.
Or, alternately, substitute “sacred” tobacco with evangelical faith healing and leave the government sponsorship indicators intact.
If separation of church and state is good enough for Christians it’s certainly good enough for First Nations, yes? If tobacco promotion to minors is illegal in white communities, it should be illegal in First Nations communities as well.
Yes?
Yes?
ccon, last I looked the Catholics, Hindus and Buddhists don’t use government money to advertise the healing power of incense.
You seem to be having trouble distinguishing the behavior of “our native people” from that of over paid seat polishers in the “Aboriginal Cancer Care Unit”.
Nobody (in their right mind anyway) has a problem with “our native people” or “their traditions”. Using MY money to advertise smoking, and pretending its not harmful into the bargain, THAT I’ve got a problem with.
Go smack your head against an iron street lamp a couple times, see if the healing properties of the sacred iron help with your confusion. Be sure to find a nice rusty spot without all that nasssty paint additive.
Had a group of ‘performers’ from Oka visit out school one day and in between the traditional, ceremonial dances, a few of the males went into one of the students’ washrooms. A teacher going in later smelled their homegrown ‘tobaccijuana’. Not sure if that had been substituted for the traditional ceremonial kind.
Drink Scotch, it cures coughs, colds, sore holes, and makes child birthing a pleasure!
Krydor – of course it involves inhaling and lighting. It is DRYED so it can be lit on fire. Raw tobacco is as useless to people as raw grass.
You racist bastards should be shot and pissed on!!!
Regarding your comment, Kate, that you choose to reject the context of the ad that I pointed out to you, I think you forgot to add “nananana-booboo” at the end of what you said.
