These First Nations in northern Ontario have hired security to deal with drug traffickers

Long Lake #58 and Ginoogaming First Nation in northern Ontario have hired security to combat drug traffickers after failing to get sufficient action from provincial, federal, and policing agencies. This move follows the tragic overdose deaths of three young people this year, underscoring the severity of the drug crisis in these communities. This self-initiated step highlights the desperation and urgency felt by the First Nations as they seek to protect their members and reclaim safety in their neighborhoods. The situation emphasizes the need for more effective and immediate action from all levels of government to address the root causes of drug addiction and trafficking.
