Dear Barbara Anne Saulnier, I have read your post and it grieves me to learn of you and your families suffering. What’s more, I know it is REAL. Truly I say this to all of us that call ourselves Canadian’s: “until all the Treaty person’s living on and off Reserves in Canada ARE NOT LIVING IN 3RD WORLD CONDITIONS, we cannot call Canada a First World Country. This is your Country Barbara, and honestly where you can go to get fair treatment and help, I don’t know. You, letting the World know is a Really Great Start. Sincerely, Tracy Polhill
