Connected Scandals
The Ford government is fast-tracking Ring of Fire mining and road construction through its Bill 5 "One Project, One Process" system, overriding the objections of Grassy Narrows First Nation — a community still living with mercury poisoning — bypassing a federally required environmental assessment, and pushing toward a June 2026 construction start that Neskantaga and Attawapiskat First Nations are physically blockading.
As Minister of Indigenous Affairs, Rickford attended the June 2026 Webequie Supply Road groundbreaking, representing the government driving Ring of Fire development amid opposition from other First Nations.
