The implication of this CBC news article is that the people who move in & around this location are always 1st nation’s people who are extremely intoxicated, & that "...the ...aboriginal leaders need to step up and do more to address addiction problems among First Nations people..." The article also mentions the MLCC fining the hotels that sell liquor to the " disadvantaged people who wind up drinking...illegally in public places..." While I empathize with the business owner, I would ask, is only 1st nation people who are causing the problems, or a combination of euro-Canadian & native people, along with some of our multicultural friends, who are being disrespectful to others in public places? The historical conditions that helped define the pathos of these people is entrenched with the endless dreams of fame and fortune, growing up in a society that endure two world wars, endless conflict, & the lose of land, language, & culture as a result of colonial practices, immigrational distanciation, & the development of life in a new country, new environment and a new sense of values and shortcomings. Sadly 2 say Canadian history is full of successes and failures when it comes to the conduct of the self in relation to the other. Is it a question of race, genes, destiny, stupidity, or simple series of bad luck situations and the lack of will to do better in life? How long do we strive to reach our potential in life, instead of just settling with life? We all have choices in life, and ultimately The Great Spirit allows us 2 success or failure in according each day's progression of life and death. This world creates vices for us all, but it is the ones on the street that shows the true mirror of who we are, if we judge & condemn others B4 our Creator.
