Its the duty to consult not the duty to demand they compromise
Rob Shaw@RobShaw_BC

.@Dave_Eby tells First Nations leaders they need to come to the table and compromise with his government to resolve DRIPA dispute, as he tries to shift blame off his government. My latest in @BIVnews: biv.com/news/commentar…

Lawyers like Premier Eby know better. They should be taking a very strong stand against the economy of anti-Indigenous and racist misinformation post-Cowichan. This is the wrong direction and will not help the party keep its mandate.

Mark Carney and the premiers are offering ownership stakes to Indigenous communities to make mining and oil projects more attractive. Janelle Lapointe explains that it’s just modern-day beads and trinkets to buy off resistance to destructive resource projects.

@Rob_T_E_Ashton I’m begging your comms team to stop using AI. Surely you can think of a way to say you stand with working people without using ChatGBT.

was “surprised I didn’t support North Coast Transmission Line” because electrification is in her mind, a “good thing.” I told her clean electricity for people and communities would be something Canada could be proud of, $6B of taxpayer dollars to electrify an LNG project is not.

The Minister of Environment and Climate Change looked me in the eye today and said that the projects Mark Carney announced yesterday must match communities desires, and that Canada has a duty to consult Nations before projects are a part of the One Canadian Economy Act. #COP30
