I am truly ashamed of my home country, Canada.
It came to me as a shock on how unprepared the Canadian government and health Canada are on this issue, especially regarding the first nations population. Makes me wonder how the rest of the Canadian population will be treated when the flu season hits and the hospitals start filling up. Will they ask you for your loved ones contact when you go to triage and ask you what color of body bag you would like?
Just being sarcastic here but it is a scary thought that when those living on reservations asked for help to better prepare for the upcoming flu season, the only response they got was bags that contained full post-mortem kits that included a chin strap, five tie-straps and three identification tags.
I used to be proud to be Canadian, now, I am just mortified by this... uncalled for shipment of death.
