First Nations, chiefs demand the PM apologizes after he said he could 'outlast' protesters | CBC News

Two First Nations chiefs are calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to apologize for saying he could "outlast" protesters. Chrissy Isaacs, a Grassy Narrows woman suffering from mercury poisoning, was in Toronto on Monday to demand compensation from the provincial government for mercury contamination in her community.

Disgusting.

"Carney responded by saying, "I can outlast her," and then laughed, with Ford and Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow doing the same.

"I am disgusted with the prime minister for saying 'I can outlast her' because our people are dying prematurely. Shame on him for laughing at people who are sick and bullying a woman, and shame on those who laughed along with him," Grassy Narrows First Nation Chief Sherry Ackabee said in a statement."
