@ChiefCopenace@JustinTrudeau@PattyHajdu@OgichidaaKav So sad for this young man, his family and community. Jordan's Principle approach needed in the ambulance system too- help first and figure out jurisdiction later.

Racism and indifference gets played out…on the lives of First Nations people everyday.
What happened in Onigaming today to this young man was a needless death.

I spoke briefly to Chief Copenace this afternoon. What happened is unacceptable. The family of the young man and the People of Onigaming deserve some clear answers.

Today a young First Nations man died in Onigaming.
911 was called. The ambulance parked at the edge of our reserve + wouldn't come help.
As his family provided chest compressions, the paramedics let this young man die.
This is racism.
There was a big crowd of family and community members trying to save this young man's life. ♥️
We could see the ambulance from our band office refusing to come help.
Everyone in the community could see them sitting there as this young man passed away.

“Grandparents were stabbed in front of loved ones who begged the killers to stop. Children were reported to have been stabbed while trying to protect their mothers.”
Healing prayers to the James Smith Cree Nation, to the relatives near & far.
