Fifty years after an Ontario First Nation learned its fish were poisoned, research suggests the damage is being handed down from parents to children. On the campaign trail, activists are pressing the parties to build a treatment centre for those afflicted
 

For years, Chrissy Isaacs watched her grandfather struggle with the symptoms of mercury poisoning. He was a fisherman and a guide, his health damaged by the contaminated fish he ate.
