Small rant.

Shipping body bags to First Nations reserves isn't a crime, people die there too and health care workers need proper materials to prepare the body. Sending them in larger numbers along with influenza supplies... I can understand the upset, but come on people.

Were they to ship all other supplies at a different time? We'd be complaining about Health Canada wasting resources next.

I highly doubt that the people of Health Canada were thinking: "Wow it's a First Nation community, we aren't going to help them fight the 'flu, so we're just going to send them body bags".

Asking for an apology: appropriate. Asking for their job? Not needed.
