A disgrace. There is no other word for it.
It isn’t bad enough that Canadian First Nations are living in poverty, that some don’t have actual schools, or that that advocates for First Nations children had to take their concerns to the United Nations in the hopes of improving the lives of of an entire race of people.
No, apparently, it wasn’t bad enough at all.
Health Canada has just cut 100% of their funding for the Native Women’s Association of Canada. These funds go to run programs dealing with early childhood development, diabetes, HIV, FASD, youth mental health promotion and suicide prevention and Aboriginal health human resources development.
Why doesn’t the Federal government just give them some infected blankets and be done with it?
