#Attawapiskat housing crisis heats up, from Parliament Hill to Twitter

With winter setting in over Attawapiskat First Nation, a cross-country war of words got a serious “twitterjection” yesterday – from Vancouver activists who managed to more than double discussion of Indigenous justice on Twitter, and even got a nod from CBC host George Stroumboulopoulos.
 
It's been nearly a month since Attawapiskat sounded a cry for help by declaring a state of emergency due to a major housing crisis which saw families in crowded tents in the snow and without sanitation -- a cry that took weeks to be heeded by authorities.
