Wow. If this isn't the epitome of offensive gall . . . I hope those who
have weaned themselves off the bottle or were never alcoholics, have
something to say to this turd about his demands.

Indigenous B.C. man denied place on liver transplant list challenges
alcohol abstinence rule
Policy requires people to abstain from alcohol for six months in order to
be eligible for a liver transplant
The Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs and an Indigenous man are filing a
complaint at the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal challenging the legality of a
policy that requires people to abstain from alcohol for six months in
order to be eligible for a liver transplant.
David Dennis, 44, who is Carrier Sekani and Nuu-chah-nulth, has end-stage
liver disease.
No news in that. Early- to mid-40s is when the boozers start kicking off...

Once again, your stupid bigotry is showing. Any person of substance would
definitely take exception to natives being labeled as drunks. Some are,
some are not. Some whites are drunks, and some aren't etc.
You're trying to justify natives being viewed as drunks by twisting language
like a coward. Some natives are drunks therefore it's ok to view all
natives as drunks.

Some food for thought:

Here in Oklahoma, we have 67 tribes represented (8% of the state's
population) and we don't have anywhere NEAR the problem that Canada does:

Some whites are RACISTS therefore it's OK to view all whites as white
supremacists?

Some heterosexuals are homophobic therefore it's OK to view all
heterosexuals as homophobic?

Some males are misogynists therefore it's OK to view all males as sexual
supremacists?


I see how Liberal-Democrats work that out.... they blame all whites and
males and HETEROSEXUALS for all the problems that DEMOCRATS HAVE.


Liberal-Democrats actions are easy to predict. They're those of a
Conservative after you take away all reason and responsibility. ;)
