'Social injustice is killing people on a grand scale': report

Article


People are dying early not only because of health gaps between rich and poor countries but also because of a lack of housing and clean water in wealthy countries like Canada, policy-makers said in a report to the World Health Organization on Thursday.


You're an idiot.

People are not dying because of social injustice. They're dying because half the world lives in petty little dictatorships (like Burma) that ACTIVELY TRY TO KILL their own population. Thats not social injustice and you can't just throw food at it. Thats active murder, thats ethnic cleansing , or racial genocide or whatever you want to call it.

They're not dying because they're poor. They're dying because they're being shot at by their own government ! (or deliberately starved to death , or whatever)

What a pack of fools this world health organization is.


In Canada, nearly 1.5 million people, mostly single mothers and children, lack decent family income, safe and affordable housing, suffer food insecurity and are vulnerable to violence, said the group's Canadian commissioner, Monique Bégin, a former federal health minister and a professor in the school of management at the University of Ottawa.


Explain to me again why these welfare bums all drive nice cars and I who work for a living cannot afford even an old beater ? You should have seen the line up of pretty cars at my friends wedding. The brides family were all on welfare. It was ridiculous.


Food banks in Canadian cities, unacceptable housing, high suicide rates among young Inuit, and the uprooting of Kashechewan Cree community from the James Bay region in 2005 and 2008 because of unsafe water and flooding are examples of areas for improvements, Bégin said.


The indians choose to live there, we can't control that and it shouldn't be counted against us. They're free to come on in to any city they like and get a job, and they get free education all the way through university and don't pay sales tax on anything either. Don't complain about the indians turning their backs on civilization thats their own doing.
