1. Companies from Montreal and across the north shore are dumping industrial waste on Mohawk territory. Meanwhile, residents complain of headaches and nose bleeds. The QC government has known about this for years but the dump still operates. https://ricochet.media/en/3277/threats-fines-and-fear-a-dump-on-mohawk-land-overflows-with-industrial-waste
2. The people who spoke to @LaVirginieAnn and I did so at great personal risk, placing themselves against a man who has threatened community members and has a lengthy, violent criminal record. They also spoke out against a band council they say isn't protecting their rights.
3. Meanwhile, our sources in the construction industry tell us it's an open secret that if you want to get rid of waste for cheap and with few questions asked, you go to Mohawk territory.
Mohawks are fighting back but putting themselves in harm's way to do so.
