A First Nation community in Ontario believes it has been dealt an unfair hand by Doug Ford’s government that could threaten its very existence. The Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation (MSIFN), north of Toronto, owns the Great Blue Heron Casino.
Sitting down with CTV National News, Chief Kelly LaRocca calls the casino “the economic foundation and lifeblood of our community.”
“It has brought us clean drinking water, enhanced health-care services and education,” she said.
However, Ontario has green lit multiple new casinos in recent years and LaRocca believes the Ontario government has broken the terms of a deal the two signed seven years ago.
