I would also add that as a country Canada is directly responsible for the levels of addiction and social disruption within the native community, that every single native kid in my house had either mum and dad or (pretty much 100%) Grandparents that were rounded up and sent to residential schools where they were all subjected to both horrific levels of sexual and physical abuse but were also denied any kind of example of parenting that they could learn and so do a decent job with their kids who end up at my house in foster care, as a country we are quite literally responsible and will be for generations to come for the levels of addiction in the native community, many of whom are on the DTES
