A Native'word is taken without investigation. The poor health care workers are the ones taking the abuse

Shameful

When I was a kid in 1970. VGH emergency would take a dirty smelly hungry white hobo with a headache in to care area, over a native indian with a stab wound bleeding on the floor in waiting area.

So sad. I worked as a medical secretary in Saskatoon for over 30 years - our doctors saw many Indigenous people from up North-in fact doctors went up there to see patients much more convenient for them. People are literally, just people. Racism is learned in the home.takeastand

Another race baiting article of the day from the CBC. Of course what these 'stories' never describe are the conditions these people arrive at the health facilities (drunk, high, etc. ), or the abuse that the healthcare workers experience dealing with them. Canada 36M sample 200.

Real Canadians know that Natives are just as Canadian as any Canadian is. It's the cultural marxists and commie scum that are trying to drive a racial wedge between us. They do this because we are easier to manipulate when we are divided.
