A dozen members of a remote First Nations community in British Columbia were asked to leave this week because they had not sought help for their drug and alcohol-abuse problems.
All kidding aside, its a good thing they did what they did. Now a lot of them are fighting for themselves, and that is a good thing. I wish they all went to rehab...
While I applaud their intent to make their community safer, I take exception to the fact that they're doing it at the expense of other communities.
The goal, community leaders say, is to make the area safer.
If this method of crime prevention works for the Ahousaht, I think all major cities that are overun by drug addicts should look at this model as a viable alternative to putting them in jail.
Oh wait, we can't do that now can we, since, we don't have someone elses neighborhood or city to send them to, not to mention that it might be considered immoral, reprehensible, and highly illegal for any other segment of Canadian Society to do.
This is the bands easy way out. Since they don't ascribe to the Charter as proven by their ability to run their problem people out of town, they could just as easily have made treatment manditory rather than foist these said same problems on the rest of Canadian society.
Yeah, just great. Make it whiteys problem now. Purify your own ranks and pass the buck. Remind me again why we need these little fiefdoms in the 21st century?
Drugs must die! But from the other side they are people too, the difference is only that they are ill, nothing more, they have rights too, and the right to stay with their community specially.

It's whitey's problem anyway. We pay no matter what. But it's not like us whiteys are all that pure - we create plenty of addicts of our own. And fail miserably to address the problem.
Didn't the Saskatoon or Regina Police get in some shit for running drunken/drugged up Indians out of town a coupel years back? Something to do with that thing called a prarie winter

We may create the addicts, but we don't ship them off to another country to make them some other country's problem (unless they're here illegally).

Nope. But those coming from first Nations have dual citizenship, so what can we do? We either pay foreign aid or pay locally. Comes to the same thing.
