Trudeau later apologized for his response, made in the lead-up to the 2019 federal election campaign, but continued to stall on his governmentâs 2017 promise to build and fund a mercury treatment home in Grassy Narrows, also known as Asubpeeschoseewagong. Trudeauâs critics argued that his glib reply, while uncharacteristic of his usual âsunny waysâ demeanor, actually showed his true colours. Indifference towards the wellbeing of Indigenous peoples and their traditional territories is par for the course for Trudeau, and indeed every previous colonial Canadian government. </p> 266 267<p>This was only the latest episode in more than fifty years of mistreatment experienced by the mercury-afflicted communities of Grassy Narrows and neighbouring Wabaseemoong Independent Nations, commonly known as Whitedog First Nation. Community members have tirelessly campaigned to hold federal and provincial governments, as well as the culpable corporations, accountable for recklessly disregarding Indigenous lives and the environment. Their holistic vision of mercury justice includes cleaning-up the river system, preventing further environmental destruction by halting industrial logging, building the treatment home, and securing compensation for all people in mercury impacted First Nations. These activities are part of an ongoing process of asserting sovereignty over their land in order to restore Anishnaabe culture and wellbeing. </p> 268 269</div> 270 271 <div class="metadata">By: Ryan Hayes / 9/16/2020</div> 272 </div> 273 </li> 274 275 276 277 278 279 <li class="has-image group"> 280 281 <a href="https://uppingtheanti.org/blog/entry/toronto-g20-settlement-agreement"><img src="/images/made/images/uploads/_resized/G20-Kettling_400_381_c1.jpg" alt="" /></a> 282 283 <div class="listing-content"> 284 <a href="/blog" class="badge accent-color">Blog</a> 285 <h2><a href="https://uppingtheanti.org/blog/entry/toronto-g20-settlement-agreement" class="accent-hover">Class Actions, Mass Movements: Policing, Politics, and the Toronto G20 Settlement Agreement</a></h2> 286 287 <div class="summary"><p>A decade after the Toronto G20 summit, two mass class actions brought against the Toronto Police Service (TPS) by people caught up in kettles and/or imprisoned at a temporary detention center have been settled. After a detour to the Supreme Court of Canada â the TPS unsuccessfully attempted to have the lawsuits dismissed â a settlement which includes $16.5 million in financial compensation, expungement of arrest records, and âa public police acknowledgement regarding the mass arrests and the conditions in which protesters were detainedâ has been reached. The settlement still needs to be approved by Ontarioâs superior court in October 2020, but there is no doubt that it is a victory â a rare example of police being held at least somewhat accountable in the aftermath of social movement repression. Beyond the TPSâs âacknowledgingâ of their misdeeds, however, it is worth thinking through the potential impact of this settlement â and especially the specifics of the TPSâs âcommitment to detailed changes regarding policing of future public demonstrationsâ â on street protest and broader organizing in Toronto.</p></div> 288 289 <div class="metadata">By Irina Ceric / 9/9/2020</div> 290 </div> 291 </li> 292</ul> 293 294 295 296 <div class="pagination group"> 297 <div class="pagination-current">
