Show Notes
Two First Nations chiefs demand apology from PM Mark Carney for mercury poisoning joke. The remark mocked their serious fight against decades of contamination in Grassy Narrows and Wabaseemoong communities. Mercury levels in fish remain dangerously high, causing nervous system damage and early deaths, especially in children. PMs Office claims Carney couldnt hear protesters, but Indigenous Services Minister Mandy Gull-Masty is pushing projects like a new health center and mercury care home. A recent study shows mill emissions are still fueling toxic methylmercury in the river. Communities wait for action that matches their pain.
