Slop pails sent to reserves

Chief David McDougall, of the St. Theresa Point First Nation, says what they got was a shipment of water containers and slop pails.

He says each of the four community also got a sewage truck, but they don't have the resources or fuel to run it.

McDougall says Ottawa is expecting 15 people in one house to share a slop pail rather than ensure the communities have running water.

I'm trying to imagine a white Canadian community getting treated the same way in the case of a water-related crisis, and failing.

Maybe they should have offered to dress "ethnic" for the photo op.
