@sarobertson_ hey great. so extending the analogy, filing a project application required no consultation. if you want to build a major oil sands mine or a pipeline, there is zero need to do any consultation with indigenous groups prior to getting an approval because approval isn't guarnteed

@cbcwatcher Rath has also suggested that if the petition has enough signatures, they could just unilaterally declare sovereignty so I doubt the sincerity of anything he says

Jeffrey Rath was on Power and Politics tonight... full hit
"If you do IT under section 1 of the Referendum act, there's no ability whatsoever for the court to get involved because even Justice Leonard agrees at that point. The Supreme Court of Canada and the secession reference says the courts have no role to play and no jurisdiction because it's a purely political issue."
And after all the accusations of separatists being foreign funded, Rath points out that the fist nations are being foreign funded "And I'm sure that the first nations, because they're being funded by the Tides foundation and funded by George Soros and funded by foreign money, will fight every single step of the way because they have billionaires backing them." @JeffreyRWRath

@CoryBMorgan Right. No rights for indigenous. They were right to be concerned

Trudeau-appointed Justice Leonard didn't stop an independence referendum from coming.
And she gave a great example of one more thing we must escape from in the federal system.
Liberal, activist judges.

@Martyupnorth in what way does preventing construciton coal mines have any effect on indigenous rights?

@KristinRaworth @GrahamG22047543 At what point then? The language out of the APP is that they would take about 90 days after a referendum. The question needs to be constitutional from the outset

I spent a large part of my career working on the First Nations consultation policy, specifically on what triggers the duty to consult and the level of consultation required. As a side note I am not in any way a separatist.
However the court decision today not only seems premature in assuming the impact on section 35 rights (which trigger the duty) but also has broader implications in terms of when and how First Nations should be consulted on citizen referendums. Regardless of topic.
It’s massive overreach by the courts and it won’t stop the separatist movement, it will simply make them more angry and more motivated.

@CoryBMorgan May as well admit the UCP are the same as the parti quebecois. They are a party captured by a separatist agenda

Now it's up to Premier Smith to schedule the referendum.
If she doesn't, she will share the fate of Jason Kenney.

Hey you awesome Canucks...
Dunkin' Donuts is coming back to Canada.
A Canadian company just made a huge deal to open hundreds of Dunkin' shops here.
So, are you patriotic and you're going to stick with your Tim Hortons (regardless of franchise ownership) over an American multinational coffee and donut company?
Or are you going to be switching to Dunkin'?

@EricLDaugh must be getting closer to an announcement on a Trump third term to have so much focus on a guy who hasn't been in power for almost 10 years

@KirkLubimov did you identify him as being from somewhere else by a t shirt he was wearing?
