Canada: Slop pails sent to reserves (that have no running water)
Post discusses racism directed towards First Nations people.
Slop pails sent to reserves
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.
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.
