Attawapiskat Gets Some Attention


Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath says the situation in Attawapiskat is "absolutely disgusting.''

She wants to know why the Red Cross, an international aid agency, is the northern Ontario First Nations community's only source of support.

People are now flooding into Attawapiskat, a month after it issued a cry for emergency help with its substandard housing and lack of clean, running water.
