Premier Ford was asked about the ongoing mercury poisoning crisis in Grassy Narrows and calls to shut down the Dryden mill. Instead of taking responsibility, he dodged the question and passed the buck to Ottawa. The people of Grassy Narrows deserve action not excuses #FreeGrassy

At @CdnClubTo today, @fordnation was asked: “Grassy Narrows is still being poisoned. Will you compensate Grassy Narrows for the ongoing mercury crisis?” Ford’s response was, "we will focus on one thing, the economy." Grassy Narrows is still waiting for justice. #FreeGrassy #OnPoli

Chief Ackabee “@MinisterCarney’s joke that he could 'outlast' a Grassy Narrows woman sent a negative message to our youth that their concerns do not matter, and that mercury poisoning will not be taken seriously by the government” tinyurl.com/4bek864z #FreeGrassy #OutLastCarney #ShutDownDrydenMill

Last week, the PM chided the CEO of Air Canada for lack of French in a condolences speech - every mainstream media outlet ran stories on it. CEO resigned. PM says something FAR MORE monstrous to a woman dealing with mercury poisoning this week and there's nothing.

In Dryden, 20,000 pounds of mercury were dumped into the English-Wabigoon River system in the 1960s, causing symptoms of mercury poisoning in more than 90% of the Grassy Narrows population. Even today, effluent continues to be discharged – increasing the formation of the most toxic form of mercury.

For more than two decades now, the Grassy Narrows First Nation has been fighting against industrial logging. In 2007, they declared an official moratorium on all industrial activity – and in 2018, they banned all mineral staking, exploration, mining, and logging.
