I made the acquaintance of a French doctor from Doctors Without Borders, who was returning from a reserve in Northern Ontario.  He had heard terrible stories about how inhumanely Canada treated natives so he felt duty bound to go to help them.  The problem was he refused to hand out codeine and opiate drug  to friends of the chief, and to let the chief's mother use the emergency helicopter fly to Thunder Bay to go shopping.  Ottawa refused to intervene.  After just a few weeks, he and his (nurse) wife were  literally chased out of  town, grabbing the first plane flying south.  He said he had never seen such willful  abuses of  chemicals, solvents and  self induced disease.
