So the source isn't even "trust me bro", it's one level removed from that? You believe it because some people told you, and you want me to believe it because you're telling me that some people told you?

You realize how weak that is, right?

It's not true, Issac is just a grievance monster.

I don't know exactly what a grievance monster is, but in my experience @isaacsapphire seems like an intelligent person who has actual reasons for their beliefs.

So I believe there are some reasons here, and I'd like to hear them. Even if it's not true - which, to be honest, seems likely to me - it's probably not based on nothing.

#I do have family who work in social services here in Ottawa #and helped one of them with a study on homelessness among Inuit women #which would be ground zero for this kind of thing if this kind of thing was happening here #especially given the massive amount of money that's been poured into (ostensibly) trying to fix the problems of the Inuit #so I think it's significant that this narrative rings utterly false to me #maybe it's different in the States #or maybe it's not #I think all the desperate people who depend upon public largesse feel discriminated against #interacting with bureaucracy is just Like That #if I was homeless and I heard about that study I'd likely make wildly inaccurate assumptions about how much Inuit women actually benefited
