Grassy Narrows hunger strike
Former Grassy Narrows Chief Steven Fobister Sr. will go on a hunger strike at Queen's Park at 10 a.m. today. Fobister is demanding justice for the members of a northern Ontario First Nation who suffer from mercury poisoning.
The First Nation group says according to an unreleased government report, the federal and provincial governments have known about the poisoning for years, but failed to provide adequate compensation or health care. Water in the Grassy Narrows area has been contaminated with mercury since a local paper mill dumped tonnes of toxins into the system between 1962 and 1970.
