allthecanadianpolitics: awesomehawks: allthecanadianpolitics: Indigenous people in Attawapiskat cannot drink their water or bathe themselves, and haven’t been able to for weeks. They called a state of emergency. What is Justin Trudeau’s response? 1 litre per day of water for kids under 2 years old. 1.5 litres per elder. The Tribal council must pay for this water in advance before they can be reimbursed next month. This is shameful. https://twitter.com/CharlieAngusNDP/status/1152558561496616961 Tagging: @abpoli @politicsofcanada @onpoli @torontopoli @ontarionewsnow Is there anything we tumblr readers can do to help? 1. If you’re not Canadian just sharing this post and following this blog will help. Also follow these other Canadian Politics blogs and share their posts too: @onpoli @torontopoli @ontarionewsnow @abpoli @nspoli @politicsofcanada @nlpolitics @qcnews @pnwpolitic @bcpoli 2. If you are Canadian, there is a Federal Election in October. Vote for NDP. They’re the only party who has given a damn about what is going on in Attawapiskat. As far as I can tell the NDP is the only party to even visit Attawapiskat this month. Volunteer and donate too. 3. If you are Canadian, write to the PM, Minister of Indigenous Affairs and your member of Parliament and demand that they help this community.
