This was a "do gooder" mentality at work ~ incipient Liberalism at it's worst.

Notice that the Canadians were doing this "for the children" ~

Odds are this single action, the killing of the Inuit dogs, probably did more to foster diabetes among the Inuit than any other change in their traditional way of life.

Yeah - the reasons that were given to the Inuit for the killings just floored me. I have a hard time believing "assimilation" was really the goal ... but then again, nothing should surprise me about what governments are capable of.

Question, though - why would diabetes be a result of this? A sudden and forced change of diet, maybe?
