Jordan, a five year old indigenous child, died in the hospital because the govt of Canada and Manitoba couldnt decide who would pay for his home arrangements and needs, due to which he spent his last two years in a hospital and never got to leave. To make sure this doesnt happen again, Jordan's family protested and so, Jordan's principle was put into place.
