Ep 6: Grassy Narrows - Does It Make Your Blood Boil?

The mercury poisoning of land, water & people at Grassy Narrows has the dubious distinction of being the most widely known and the least cared about public concern in Canada. Successive governments (including the current one) in Ontario have failed to remove the mercury. Opposition parties have failed to keep them accountable. It is now up to the voters of Ontario to force action and results. But in this regard, my crucial question for each Ontarian is: Does it make your blood boil?
