Die Ontario First Nation ruft wegen Banden- und Suchtkrisen den Ausnahmezustand aus

Netmizaaggamig/Pic Mobert First Nation is a beautiful community. It has a lot of great things going for it – with year round road access, and some really strong involvement with fish and game tourism.

But with a year round road, like just about every other reserve, gangs and drugs follow. On reserve law enforcement is chronically underfunded. The five police officers mentioned in this article? Yea, they aren’t just 45minutes away they are in Marathon and cover a region the size of the GTA.

More funding for mental health counsellors, more funding for addictions treatment, more funding for the basic building blocks of society is direly needed.
