Typically poor news story from Mother Corp. They did send medical supplies too but but they don't give details. All they want to be is inflammatory.
Watch Question Period at 2:15pm Eastern - it's on CBC Newsworld. Watch Lord Iggy turn sanctimoniousness into a religion when he asks about it.

Another day another Liberal pretense to outrage propped up as a replacement for an actual agenda/platform.

Yup. Hard to tell the Grits want an election.
It's the scandal fabrication season again. Time for the gum boots.

I just hope that Canada is smart enough to see through it. At times like this I wish the Cons would stand up and say it like it is.

Apologise? What for? Good foreward thinking as far as I can see.

I thought the body bags were a nice touch. Let's them know just what sort of situation to expect. Frankly these far flung reserves will have deaths because of pre-existing conditions exacerbated by remoteness and poor diet. The fact they failed to inform native bands of the bags when they were expecting simply needles and disinfectant kits shows how little prepared these communities are to the reality.

Careful Scrape...that sounds dangerously close to Bush-ist neocon racisim to me.
(I'm sorry I needed to provide myself with a laugh)

Ya gotta admire the balls on Iggy. A non-resident Canadian for soooo many years talking about OUR brothers and sisters, demanding that a minister who, ironically happens to be Native, apologize to HER people. What a fuckin putz.
Seems to me that Iggy is a nationistic opportunist. First the Brits are his people, then the Americans are his people, and NOW after all these years of being absent, HE has decided that Native peoples are his brothers and sisters.
Every time that fool opens his yap all he manages to do is add to global warming.

Making fun of mods... Not cool.
I don't buy the cultural argument that they don't prepare for death either, this is an epidemic, not a ritual. This must not be allowed to run rampant and when people die they need to be removed.

Too bad the Health Minister isn't a male Caucasian the Liberals might have gotten some real mileage out of this.

More and more he's showing us that he's a more coherent version of Dion.
He steps in shit with frequency as if he likes the feeling of it oozing through his toes.
