Black mould in the homes of a small First Nations community in northern Ontario has left some children with respiratory issues and rashes, while one child has had to be airlifted for emergency treatment.

Good thing PM has sent billions $$ all over the world to look after every cause thinkable ....except this one! Shameful!

From the heart out guy has lied over and over. First Nations are a photo op or a dress up opportunity to him.

Not a national disgrace. It’s their responsibility to look after their homes and kids like the rest of us. Stop this endless blame game😏

Instead of doing as he promised Trudeau sits on his hands and idly watch’s this tragedy unfold as does nothing

Pink Fong Pink Fong Dino World

So look after your own property like everyone else does and stop waiting for the government to fix it. Problem solved.

Look into the fact that this community is in trouble without the ice roads

It's ok Trudeau is busy helping Saudi's and Libyans.

It is disgraceful that our proud indigenous people aren’t in a position to take care of themselves. What conditions have we created that prevents them from being self reliant . I can guess

I’m not going to feel disgrace because someone didn’t take care of their own home. The pics reveal the filth way beyond any mould and it’s clear the signs were showing ages ago but nothing was done until it could be turned into a sensational story.

The tits drying up. Time to move out of the nest and grow up. Time to wean the funding

Stop mass immigration and cut foreign aid so we can fix our own backyard. To keep Canadians Safe.

If these bands are self governed, shouldn't they be asking their government for help?

Why for them it’s a national disgrace and for Toronto poops that can’t offer better it’s not, CTV? Everyone is supposed to maintain its home, why can’t the natives!?

They get free houses, don't take care of them, then come running with their hands out again.

And why is it a “national disgrace” CTV news We had mould in our basement...we had to pay to have it removed...I don’t blame the government and call my mould problem a “national disgrace”!!

Yet another reason why indigenous people should not be living segregated.

Where does all the $ go that the feds pay... between the payment to the bands and the actual $ getting to the members there is a disconnect. Forensic audits are needed for a lot of band councils.

My initial reaction to this was “why didn’t the home owners deal with the mould issue sooner?” Then I looked up the community on a map. It’s extremely remote and isolated. If you wanted to fix a leak or replace drywall, you are out of luck because it all has to get flown in.

But no refugees have mold where they are housed. Need a leader who puts Canadians first!!!!!!!

It is not a national disgrace at all. Bands are given millions of 🇨🇦tax $ every year. The disgrace is how this money has not been spent properly over the years. Accountability must be insisted upon.

Sad situation, but I think a lot of Canadians are asking ‘why is this my fault’, i.e. why is this a national disgrace? Why is it everyone else’s fault when indigenous people need a home, need water, need heat, need jobs, need transportation, need anything? It’s perplexing.

Trudeau is a disaster.

Unfortunately CTV’s lover boy JustinTrudeau only cares about those who countries other than Canada

What responsibility for care and maintenance of homes do these communities have? Every other Canadian maintains their own home and suffers the consequences of any lack of maintenance - health, cost, etc.

This is absolutely disgusting!

But we just sent 53 million to Venezuela. Again zero support for First Nations

A two way street.

Your right JustinTrudeau is a national disgrace

If it was in South Africa or Mali or any other place on earth Trudeau would have sent millions. shameontrudeau

But JustinTrudeau gave $10 million away to an African charity via a Tweet when we have people in our own country, living in poverty and unhealthy homes? My Mum always said, “Charity begins at home”. Perhaps it’s time to take proper care of Canadians? Disgraceful

It is disgusting and those children suffering. Anyone with lung issues at severe risk. But I’m sorry, those houses we disrespected by their inhabitants as well. Need to install pride of ownership.

....so if I get mould in my home one day, who will be responsible for its removal?
