I was shocked, like probably ever Canadian with a heart, seeign video in 1993 of kids as young as 10 huffing gasoline and shouting at the camera that they wanted to die, on a remote Innu reserve in 1993.

What on earth would cause a 10 year old to destroy themselves like that?

The government, shamed by the odeal, spent hundreds of millions of dollars to build a brand new comunity elsewhere and move everyone to it, but the problems just continued.

This speaks to your comment about communities isolating thmsleves or losing their defining trait. The Innu, like other aboriginal peoples in Canada, have adopted a policy of non-assimiliation in order to preserve their identitiy and culture (actually, in Canada, often to preserve their racial purity, but that's another discussion). I would argue that their cultural isolation probably contributed to the problem.'; data[0]['blog_time'] = 'Thu, 26 Jan 2012 22:03:35 -0800'; data[1] = new Array(); data[1]['title'] = 'Re: Dear Harper,'; data[1]['url'] = 'http://www.canadaka.net/blog/Politics/index_c-1_u-31236_b-4362.html'; data[1]['url'] = 'http://www.canadaka.net/blog/Politics/index_c-1_u-31236_b-4362.html'; data[1]['username'] = 'Kazam'; data[1]['blog_id'] = '4362'; data[1]['blog_message'] = 'good and true canadian :)'; data[1]['blog_time'] = 'Wed, 27 May 2009 14:01:15 -0700'; data[2] = new Array(); data[2]['title'] = 'RE: Dear Harper,'; data[2]['url'] = 'http://www.canadaka.net/blog/Politics/index_c-1_u-22660_b-4356.html'; data[2]['url'] = 'http://www.canadaka.net/blog/Politics/index_c-1_u-22660_b-4356.html'; data[2]['username'] = 'Anonymous'; data[2]['blog_id'] = '4356'; data[2]['blog_message'] = 'XD'; data[2]['blog_time'] = 'Sun, 19 Apr 2009 20:34:45 -0700'; data[3] = new Array(); data[3]['title'] = 'Re: Politically Correct?

Free Speech does not exist so anyone can say anything, it exists to promote Unity and a Progressive Society that works towards Justice and Inclusiveness for all. Far too many have corrupted Free Speech into something that was never intended. That is to say Stupid Shit just for the sake of saying Stupid Shit, without giving a second thought to what the consequences of saying Stupid Shit may occur.

Free Speech exists so that the Minority can say things that Challenge the Status Quo without concern that the Majority will shut them up.
