Congratulations firstly to the person reporting the event and secondly to the RCMP for their quick response.
Illegal alcohol and drugs are destructive to many of our population within Nunavut and in particular to our children.
Many thanks to all who support the RCMP and removing this garbage from our communities.
There go’s my hangover ?
Guffaw!!!
For many: there goes the hangover plus a ride by police car to the cell.
as much as this pains to see an addidct, its a step in the right direction. i need help with my alcoholism, but its hard, you have to leave the territory for addictions help. you heal outside home, but when you come back, the pain is all there. you need to heal at home, where the pain is. i can’t heal at home without help. my other half needs help too. i’m tired of hurting myself and my family. i need help.
Alcohol and drugs only shows and makes weakness, the more and longer you use them will only make pain feel real, that’s why alcoholics and drug addicts need help to quit.
I finally saw that I was hurting My wife and kids by making these stimulants/depressants being a priority that don’t help Me, feed Me and love Me so I quit cold turkey to have a loving family instead.
Keep going no alcohol allowed in our community keep on going RCMP good job.
Prohibition of alcohol in most communities is only making shortages of Nurses and Teachers in Nunavut.
What an idiot decision you have made. They’re having shortages because of not too much $$ they want more $$ and too expensive to buy groceries we don’t have that much veggies or whatever they eat. You are one of those idiots that just like troll around eh.
Yo Joe!
