Staggering in the middle of 2nd, sleeping in Tim Horton's, and fighting in the parking lot of 7-11. This is what greets me when I arrive in P.A. on any given morning. Stay Classy.

Only they can save themselves, and as long as if they are not driving or hurting me - i dont really care.

Welcome to PA. Unfortunatley the problem seems like it is only going to get worse. With Some First Nations start to ban trouble makers from the reserve, some northern communities starting to go "dry" and "drug Free" it simply relocates these trouble makers into the cities where they have even more access to the stuff that they shouldn't.
Maybe time for the cities to ban people and look at going to a dry an drug free community!

If booze was banned very little would change. Do yourself a favor... watch shopping flyers for deals on mouthwash... then checkout the store. Be amazed when you get there and the shelf is bare...
Ban alcohol based mouthwash? they'll just find something else... it's a fight that's impossible to win.

livintheIRdream: I too lived and worked in Buffalo Narrows.... in '84, and in '86
it was about the same or worse for drunks
but it was by FAR more Violent than ANY other place I had lived. ( I didn't live in LaLoche, but I did visit friends there ) Things must have changed some over time. BN had the most Racist folks I had ever had the displeasure of meeting!
as for P.A. Until the Community stops condoning this type of behaviour with free needles, free drugs and cops told to look the other way, this will NEVER CHANGE!

Everybody has a issue with what has being going on for years everywhere I have been. There is so much traffic with this issue. It is still the same issue though. At least it is consistant. Addictions. Does a group fight the problem of dealing with addiction. Or deal with the visible results as public intoxication with a show of force by police. Your choice.
Anyways. Maybe we should make drugs and alcohol illegal. Then bring in our armed forces from other areas in the world and lock down P.A. But hey this might be what people are saying and maybe the local P.D. has no back up. Thats right. The legal system. So what is a officer suppose to do with these people. Well. can't really charge em with much as they WERE NOT DOING MUCH that would IMPOSE A SENTENCE of a million years. Well this is certainly an issue as per how a person prevent this without imposing on the one time people

Perhaps Chief Clarence Louie has the answer, although I'm sure it is not popular with many of the aboriginal peoples!
Check it you and see if you agree:

Okay, I'll get sucked into it more. I am not sure if I see the benefits of this "BOOM" either in P.A. Maybe more government programs and maybe taxes go up less. I think any group has just as much opportunities as the next around here. In my books, at the end of the day, we all still have to have JOBS. The original land owners still had to go out to hunt and gather to get their food and clothing etc
Btw. who cares about land with potash and oil. Mineral rights count baby.

is it about society turning it's back on them, or are they not living up to their obligations and responsibilities of being one in that society?
You do not have the right to be respected.
respect is earned.
you earn that respect by fullfilling your responsibilities in society, or you move on.
