Oups. Just wanted to set something straight here, created an account just for this.

The text doesn't read that there are 250 km seperating Kuujjuaraapik and Whapmagoostui from each other, but that there are 250 km seperating those two communities, one of which is physically inside the other, from the Quebec roadway system. There are a lot more people living in Nunavik than 1380, a lot of people who currently need to cope with the reality of having access to food and other supplies by air only. A lot of people who don't have the means to cover the extra costs of sending essentials by airplane. And a lot of people the canadian government needs to stop ignoring because they live in a part of the country it's expensive to get to; they still live in Canada, and if Canada claims Nunavik territory as its own, it needs to ensure the well-being of those who reside there.
