Is this a sincere article? I cannot tell.
You should go read some of the numerous articles that have detailed her heroic stand against gvt... Mind you, of all the articles written, this one is by far and away, nothing but a fictional account of the events.
To summarize: Chief Spence was demanding more money from gvt to address the horrendous living conditions in Attawapiskat.... And horrendous, they are, unless you are Chief, her live-in boyfriend or a member of Council.... They all live pretty well
What Spence and her fantasy writers neglected to mention is that the community had received $100 million over the last 10 years for a community of a couple thousand people... What happened to the money you ask?... We don't know; Theresa either never got receipts for the expenditures or lost the rest.
So basically, Spence went on a 40 day diet (Jenny Craig I think) to protest - hoping that no one would notice the $100 million was missing... To cut to the chase in giving you an idea how ridiculous the article posted above was; even the CBC won't backstop this lady.... Even they know that she's nothing more than a low level grifter looking to effect some sleight of hand.
