How many people out there would say "fuck it" to a job that wouldn't let you take a day to go to a funeral?

Health Canada employs more than 50, though, so I figured I was pretty safe on that mark.

So, I believe, does her temp agency.

Is it the temp agency or the Health Canada office that's giving you grief?

And... hrm... yeah, I think I'd say "fuck it" to the job, although I might phrase it "I'm sorry, there's been a death in the family and I'm afraid I won't be able to be in on (day X); I realize this is very short notice and I think I should be able to make up the time within (period).". I can afford to be suddenly unemployed, and the other temp agencies like me, and I don't think it'll screw my resumé (as I'm quite sure the co-worekers would give good reference). And you are, if anything, more employable than I and with a better resumé.
