hmmm, doesn't sound like the majority is Aboriginal either, however there may be a reserve near by.

it really is amazing how quickly some people like to try to dismiss issues as those of race. c'mon it's a mining town that shut down, it's going to have serious problem...and really if you want to generalize so much, you should likely stick with asking if the majority of the residents are unemployed people lacking higher education. if you've ever been to a mining town chances are you've seen a lot of drug or alcohol problems.....check the stats on addiction for Fort Mac....and that is most certainly not solely people of one ethnic background and those people are gainfully employed.

and in regards to the complaints about someone calling out someone's ethnic bias...why is it such a problem if someone disagrees with your assumption greco?
