First Nations chiefs demand the PM apologize 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."

@dyckron on the other hand: if this guy remains at the head of the liberal party, @avilewis and co. may have an even better chance.

Avi has a lot of work to do within NDP, first. There's enemies from within who aren't happy he won the leadership & I don't put it past them to sabotage/do crappy stuff behind scenes. I hope he cleans up/out neoliberals from within & leads the party left of center. Public trust lost can be regained, if that happens.

I'm saying that as an anarchist, who has no trust in government. I became an anarchist because of corrupt governments.
I still vote since I'm stuck under the system but we need serious electoral reform.
