Sara Anderson, a Native woman and single mother, embarked on a hunger strike this past Monday April 3rd (making today day 12). She has ceased eating and taking her prescribed medication, surviving only on water in an act of protest against the Ontario provincial government and social assistance rates. When asked how long she plans to strike, Sara replied "If it takes my life."
«Ô Blanc, reprends ton lourd fardeau :
Envoie au loin ta plus forte race,
Jette tes fils dans l'exilPour servir les besoins de tes captifs;
Pour - lourdement équipé - veiller
Sur les races sauvages et agitées,
Sur vos peuples récemment conquis,
Mi-diables, mi-enfants. »
Absolutely no regrets because, in the end, we got poor people in this town 2.7$ million dollars - put directly into their pockets - and we all see how much hope and relief this brought! If someone had asked me if netting 2.7 million was worth six months in jail, obviously I'd had answered "yup".
