The remote Canadian First Nation of Attawapiskat declared a state of emergency after 11 members of the 2,000 person community were prevented from committing mass suicide this weekend.
Since last September 100 people of this remote, impoverished community have attempted to kill themselves.
Many of those planning suicide this weekend were children between the ages of seven to thirteen.
This is the fifth state of emergency declared for this remote group on St. James Bay in the last 10 years.
According to the local member of Parliament, Charlie Angus, the community lives in “third-world conditions” and children are “giving up hope.” “This is a national catastrophe…this is a war zone [sic] of despair,”
“The basic economy of the area is a subsistence allowance.”
No work, no warmth, everything run by the government, no hope.
There is hell to pay for the treatment rendered to the indigenous peoples of this continent.
that’s nothing
suicides in the us have quadrupled during obama’s transformation of america
who’d have thought that leftist policies lead to death by suicide, pardon the rhetorical question
The children dreading a life with US Liberals who defect there after Trump’s Inauguration.
Although most of the suicides in the US are by gun. So it’s clearly the fault of gun manufacturers and the 2nd Amendment. Thanks 0bummer!
Suicide is wrong.
Unless you pay a leftist murderer to kill you. Government assisted euthanasia is okey dokey.
Looks like they’re achieving equality.
Saw that on the news last night it’s very sad.
Billions spent on the First Nations in Canada and just like every other third world shithole, the “leadership” skims the money to live in luxury and allow the people to suffer while screaming for more, more, more.
This will not change unless there are 2 changes…which will NEVER occur:
1.) Financial accountability for the band leaderships (full audits and detailed financial reporting were rejected by the band leaders as “racist”…of course…can’t possibly shine a light on the cockroaches.)
2.) Private property rights – until people are actually able to control acquire and sell their own property, they are left in the midst of true “communistic reality” where the “government” owns everything and only looks after itself.
This is the core of the problem, if you can’t work to better yourself and your position as you have no ownership, look what happens…this is “exhibit A” of what a Bernie Sanders government program would look like.
It breaks my heart to see some amazing people caught in a cycle of hopelessness created by “Progressive” ideologies under the funding of my tax dollars…this is NOT the help these communities deserve.
There is another alternative. They could leave the res and assimilate into the larger (White) community. But as long as they cling to the insanity that their stone age culture is superior, they really don’t have a chance.
In the near future the imported Muslims will assist all canadians to commit suicide, EH!
No past.
Devastated present.
Empty, soul-killing, desperate future.
Grinding poverty.
Hopelessness as far as the eye can see,
or the mind perceive.
The epitome of socialism – the definition, if you will.
A lesson for Canada … and America.
Heed it well.
izlamo delenda est …
It’s a wonder there are any Canadians who haven’t already killed themselves.
They impoverish themselves i.e. their local government (band council) besides the money they get from the federal government, the local DeBeers mine employs natives as well as providing payments for the use of the land
A herd of government social workers must have descended upon them and convinced them that they were miserable, unhappy and had nothing to live for!
Impoverished?? They live off the taxpayers. They are free to move anywhere in Canada and get a job but they prefer to get their monthly checks, free health care and food. Even their homes are built for them by outsiders who fly in during the summer and build their homes, schools, churches and community centers. Wake up stupid taxpayers.
Pussies. Real “suicides” are committed with hand held garrotes.
Gone;
Is there anyone more impoverished than a slave?
Especially a slave by choice?
If one is not starving, poverty has little to do with wealth.
Such a complicated situation that only in depth study can truly understand what has happened to this community and how the government and the band council and the band members themselves have created a hopeless, helpless culture where these children believe there is no hope and no future for them.
Governments are good at band-aid solutions, but this will need so much more and as they are far so north, moved from their ancestral lands years ago, and isolated, there is little reason for hope.
