That is undoubtedly why the incredibly well taken care of Canadians and Swedes imbibe and kill themselves at world record rates.

Unfortunatley a proportionally large number of Canadians who kill themselves are native. Some non-natives resent or envy the fact that natives receive free land, free housing, pay no income or sales tax, pay no health care fees, receive billions in treaty money and can hunt and fish without quota. Yet the social results for the native communities are disastrous.

A large number of native children in a small reserve in Newfoundland are currently sniffing gas to pass the time away. Six children have died. Some parents are refusing help. The town built a community center so that when the kids pass out, they wont freeze in the woods, they can lie on the center floor.

A close friend of mine used to for the Canadian Pacific Railway company. He said that daily they would have to clean up the tracks running through the reserves in Alberta.

It's a brutal problem. They receive a hand out and its killing them.
