Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence in hospital after ending hunger protest
- Thread starter gerryh
- Start date
Not a surprise, but as per the article, she's in the hospital overnight simply for observation.
I'll wager that she'll have to take her time getting back on solid food

and it's more than "over night"
She remains in hospital on an intravenous line as she recovers following these six weeks without solid food.
Read it on Global News: Global News | Spence’s liquid diet must be phased out with medical help, doctor warns
Right on....The rest of the comments by medical experts, were general ones about someone on a liquid diet (Armchair comments like you or I could make,...but expert ones) not examining physicians
At best she was fasting. The fishbroth cocktail that she consumed provided the basic necessities in terms of vitamins, minerals, etc. The notion that her 'hospitalization' was overnight observation tells that she is not in any real danger from this event.
Now, you wanna talk hunger-strike, I believe that all they consumed was water: here's the benchmark

This is what a hunger-striker really looks like

That must be it.
Still makes me wonder how Theressa barely showed any physical signs of the 6 week "hunger strike"... Who knows, maybe she was cheating too

Cause she is still vacuuming up a horrendous amount of tax dollars with nothing to show for it. Not even a reduced waistline.
I sure hope her OHIP premiums are paid up!
Of course @ $70,000/year she's in good shape even if they aren't-do natives even pay premiums or do we?
I suppose the gubmint teat could be said to be her full time employer.

Like Chief ExSpence-ive has any responsibility for her "people". Give me a break. Chief ExSpence-ive us protestubg against her weakening political influence. Chiefs are ineffective and the rank and file are unhappy with poverty, low incomes, low education and high crime rates. Chiefs dont care, they have their high salaries.
Nation to nation negotiations are bogus, these are villages and villagers who cannot run medical, police and education social services. Let's stop kidding that they can. Equality for all is the only solution and end the bogus treaties that dont mention BC, petroleum and and thousand other things.
