      Where is your statistic coming that Iqaluit is getting worse? Poverty and inequality has always existed! Im not defending this but you need to understand cause and effect! This will always be happening if income inequality and poverty is not addressed!

        Easier to break into business and steal with no real world consequence than to have to wake up at 6am every day to put in a hard days work and earn a paycheck.

          I am pretty sure they would like to earn a paycheck, and unfortunately they faced discriminations throughout their lives and were considered throws, if you’re business owner or have the capacity to hire them then start a program for the under privileged. No one ever woke on one day or see as a dream to be living in poverty and go hungry. Like a lot of people, they want to be given a chance.

          Volunteer at a food bank and assist at the soup kitchen appreciate your privilege and that you never have to wonder where your next meal will come from.

            Each individual can motivate themselves to rise.
            Opportunities are everywhere.
            If opportunities don’t knock? Chase them down like Tom Petty Running down a dream….

      I am not surprised when companies ignore land claim.ahreement and hire their friends over inuit who are qualified . Or change job discriptions to put their friends in jobs they shouldn’t have. QEC is a prime example of this.
