From Crazy Bitches R Us:
Now a severe flu, likely the H1N1 has hit a First Nation. As you can see in this story, the First Nation only hatched together a pandemic plan after ths flu hit. Why? Well, it's difficult for a First Nation to pull together a pandemic plan, not only because of the lack of health services and professionals, but because jurisdictional disputes between federal departments (Health Canada and INAC) and between federal and provincial/territorial governments as well. These disputes prevent First Nations from accessing health care at the best of times.
Go to the blogsite, read the whole post, (which includes a news item from Manitoba) and please do as the author requested: write to your MP even if she or he is not a member of Stephen Harper's government.
The CBC also has the news item.
