Talk:Leona Aglukkaq

Untitled
According to CBC, Aglukkaq is not the first Inuk to be in Cabinet (as the Wikipedia entry currently says), although she is the first to hold a senior Cabinet position. http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2008/10/30/aglukkaq-cabinet.html
 * The CBC article is a bit misleading, actually — parliamentary secretaries are not part of the cabinet. Neither Anawak nor Karetak-Lindell ever actually held a cabinet position. Bearcat (talk) 06:46, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

The larger problem is that this was written by a Conservative Party hack, or at least reads like it. Aglukkaq has NOT been "lauded" for her calm and cool demeanour in dealing with the swine flu. In fact, she has been roundly criticised by opposition parties and the media for looking like she's not doing anything. This page needs to be checked by Wikipedia's editors for quality, because it's pretty weak. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.79.195.79 (talk) 19:40, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Reference #3 (http://canadianpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5hAGqH6OAVgmJeOD8yxZqpV1aVDSQ) is a broken link. Perhaps it should be changed to an Internet Archive ("WayBackMachine") snapshot of the original article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.229.146.71 (talk) 23:06, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Does anyone here actually do anything about sub-standard articles like this one? I tried editing this page once, only to have it revert to the original within a couple of hours, yet, this article is recognised as being sub-standard, and yet, nothing happens. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.51.35.184 (talk) 03:24, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

This article needs to be updated as it's two or three years out of date and has nothing on her controversial performance as Environment Minister especially given the federal government's clearance of seismic testing in waters off communities in her riding. 198.84.161.5 (talk) 03:57, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Denialism?
The section "Vienna AIDS Conference controversy" says that "Aglukkaq attracted criticism for repeatedly refusing to confirm a link between unclean injecting equipment and HIV transmission at the 2010 International AIDS Conference in Vienna[7] drawing accusations of denialism" etc. The cited article contains no such statement, and I can't find any other source online asserting that she made such a refusal. I can find many people complaining about her government's refusal to support safe injection sites as a way to reduce the risk of such transmission and of other harms, and sometimes seeming 'denial' that such programs work, but that's quite a different thing. Is there ANY evidence that she refuses to acknowledge the link? Mikalra (talk) 16:39, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Addressed these weaknesses with verifiable information in my subsequent edit. Mikalra (talk) 21:59, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
