I live in Texas. So I have always been fascinated by the maps I have seen of the vast spaces in Canada, of seemingly endless forests with few roads. The pictures I have seen were always beautiful. I found this place cause I came across it on Google Maps, and looked it up on TH-cam expecting to see prestine,sparkling lakes and such. This was heart rending. We have similar situations here in the US. My prayers for these people!
"Sometimes racism has to be put aside, it's not just an indigenous problem, it's a human problem" very true!! These indigenous people are human to, canadians always forget that, how would you feel if you lived in a city that had no access of clean drinking water, Canada and resources would help without question, Canada and politicians need to start working on a faster and better solution fast instead of talking they will help, why is this even a problem when we all know if Toronto, Thunder Bay, Kenora, and Winnipeg had poisonous water Canada and resources will help and action will take place.
@@kubo8762 don't like it don't read it? I don't waste my time and energy reading things I don't agree with on TH-cam.. everyone has different opinions and beliefs in this world and everyone should respect one another. It's 2022 now not 1960s
no one should ever have to worry where their next meal comes from, or having acsess to clean drinking water. not only did all the fish die, but now they can't even use the water? unacceptable, the federal government needs to do their job. my heart goes out to all the people effected by this.
I don't even know what to say after seeing this. This situation is so wrong. How has this water not been cleaned up already? How are we not holding those responsible, accountable for this? @JustinTrudeau these people need clean water. It's a basic human right.
I don't feel that JT will do a damn thing about this. I don't know what the process might be to get the methyl merc cleaned up, but its a serious stain on the Canadian flag cause these Canadians don't have clean water. if there was a way of helping clean this up I would like to be on the list. This has been a problem since the 70's and the government still can't seem to figure this out. If the Ottawa water was contaminated the gov would not wait till tomorrow to fix this, they would start today. Perhaps its time that people stepped up
This is Terrible, They should make the Hungry greedy Corporations who cause this contamination to put it right and look after those who are affected. This is a tragedy and someone should be held responsible :( I pray the people get the help they deserve.
Wtf!!! How do they bathe!!!😭😭😭look at the fucking trees. All of our natural water resources in canada are destroyed. Its sad to drive by a river everyday in ottawa and know u cant even swim in it unless ur a fucking pig. Money and power over people. wow government suxxxxx period
This is bad for Canada and its reputation on the world , im Canadian and like orher Canadians help our people , that water should be crisp clean natural drinking water its a shame .
Our Canadian government have lots of $$$$ for Ukraine but zero $ to clean that river. I'm not suprise at all, Native people are not WHITE. It's all about Power, Greed, Racism and $$. It's evil and disgraceful that people died, many are sick, their community is suffering. Our government turned a blind eye..shame on you. Why Canada First Nation people always have to fight for their basic needs and rights to education, health care and housing just to have a simple healthy life. Not having clean drinking water in RICH CANADA for our First Nation people is an Indigenous human rights issue. ☮🕉
It’s so sad to see how mankind can be so cruel..these brothers and sisters need fresh water to drink, to bathe in and all they get is sarcasm and name calling. Hope you get fresh drinking water soon but for this generation it looks like they are already contaminated. 😩😢😭
As was said in the video its Big industry. When the Treatise were signed the Canadian Government was to give half of the money made from mining etc. to First Nation to live due to these projects happening on Their Treaty Lands. But this has never happened due to greed. White man again has forked tongue. I myself am from an immigrant Mennonite Family who came in the late 1800's.My mother remembers Indian people coming to their farm and given work and food. They lived in harmony as ALL NATIONS should. BIG business only want to rape the land for their share holders and not for the future people of this land. As we watch these videos there isa New storm brewing in the Northern Ontario Region again. The Circle of Fire is about to be put into action. This is mining that will be started and again the water shed is heading to Attiwapiskat First Nation that also has a terrible water issue due to mercury run- off. Debeers diamonds are just the beginning. My opinion

Ha ha you don't know how the Canadian government works.

This is heart breaking. When I vote, I want a candidate that’s talking about these issues and DOING something about it.
This is a disgrace by our government and society that we cannot fix this
we are an advanced wealthy nation, this is unacceptable :( all residents must have clear, clean water and protection for their home surroundings.
i was sent here from me teacher

Just seen something on the news about this the other day
Shame on Canada! Look after your people!! Fix this, too many have already suffered, you have to fix this now!
Trudeau do something it's been too long
We are writing letters to him as an assignment because it is a big problem
Its getting too dangerous
Such a disgrace that the mercury has not been cleaned up.
This is Terrible, They should make the Hungry greedy Corporations who cause this contamination to put it right and look after those who are affected.

I feel so bad for you guys
ridiculous how little views this vidoe has
And 11 thumbs down. Stupid. Some people just don't care about things like this until it happens to them.
@@cameronashton6987 bro some people were just sent here from school.
This is where I’m from, and my cousin lives here and she might have mercury, she’s going 2 hours away from grassy to go get her mercury test
Wtf!!! How do they bathe!!!😭😭😭look at the fucking trees. All of our natural water resources in canada are destroyed. Its sad to drive by a river everyday in ottawa and know u cant even swim in it unless ur a fucking pig. Money and power over people. wow government suxxxxx period
I hope she is ok
This makes me ashamed to be Canadian.
The pulp and paper industry should pay to clean it up.
Mercury contamination and nothing has been done?
7 years ago this video was made. Has anything changed out there since?
We made upgrades to the existing water treatment plant a few years ago and are now designing a brand new plant and water tower.
5:05 my cousins house is on the right side and it’s the last yellow house 😂😂

look at these cringe comments 🤣
this nation has been dame da ne'ed
fucked up
Dangerous is better than homeless.
doesn't make it any less of a problem
Natives can't be made homeless on their own lands lol. You should read more.
xD
what do u mean they can go homeless on their own lands? they dont have clean water and their running out of money. bozo
Its probably clean and fixed long time ago but this community just wants money more then likely
it has not and they just want clean water
@JustinTrudeau
