Northwestern Ontario is dealing with a rise in the use of the opioid drug Fentanyl.
The drug has been making its way across the country starting in British Columbia.
Authorities say it is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people.
Now that the drug is in Ontario, First Nations leaders are worried about what comes next.
The Canadian Government won’t address it because it is on reserves. They will wait until it ruins thousands of aboriginal people and our families before pointing their fingers at us. And then maybe thinking about helping removing/stopping it. We as ABORIGINAL PEOPLE do not matter. When WE MATTER most!
