You are not above people with substance abuse issues. You are not stronger or better. People with substance abuse issues deserve health care and mental health care. They should be honoured for their strength. It’s utter torture living with substance abuse.

Hey tell your vegan friends that we can hunt animals to feed our families WHILE being gentle, smart people. The act of hunting in Nunavut is healthy. It’s nature at its finest. The polar bear doesn’t spare the seal. Neither do we. We don’t have McDonalds. We have the Nuna.
