all of the above...
4 of 10 live in poverty, so 40% of the population is poor. Obvious there is going to be more crime and substance abuse ect.
Anyway after my post last night I was accused of being "you posters" and racist against myself lol. Thought I should clear up my stance I wasn't denying racism I was just disputing the data and offering what I thought was the root of the problem. I think going after the RCMP only on this stuff is wrong. Lets look for the root causes of the vicious cycle of poverty in these communities.
again, if anyone feels compelled to do something and is still looking I recommend
