Consultation is not Consent! Canada’s FPIC is not the UNDRIP FPIC international minimum standard! First Nations should develop & implement territorial self-determination plans for Aboriginal Title and Treaty lands, territories & resources!

My concern is wasn’t there legislation brought forward, that consultation is enough 😬 bill c 5 I read it recently and was shocked to see that proper consultation is up to Gov too

"Fast Car" was a worldwide success after Tracy Chapman's unexpected performance in Nelson Mandela's 70th Birthday Tribute (Wembley Stadium, 1988). She had already played her normal set, but when Stevie Wonder had a technical problem with the equipment, the organizers called her at the last minute to fill the time. She returned to the stage with only guitar and sang "Fast Car" to millions of live viewers, which was the moment that launched her international career.

Premier David Eby continued to insist Alberta is getting special and unfair treatment from the federal government in its push for an oil pipeline to B.C.’s coast, by threatening to separate from Canada.cheknews.ca/rob-shaw-b-c-pre…

There’s a big historical, cultural & legal difference between Inuit & Indians! The Indian Act doesn’t apply to Idlout or GG, Mary Simon either! The term “Indigenous” masks the differences! Feds lose bid for court extension of Nicholas ruling - iPolitics ipolitics.ca/2026/05/18/feds…

Albertans have spoken. The courts have spoken. There should be no separatist referendum — especially after a massive data breach tied to the separatists. 🇨🇦 Get involved: foralbertaforcanada.ca

Danielle Smith isn’t a separatist. She is, has always been, a destroyer. She was on Calgary School Board. Destroyed it. She had talk radio program. Destroyed it. Leader of Wildrose Party. Destroyed it. Premier of Alberta - she will destroy it. It is what she does, what she is.

It cannot be the case that the projects that get prioritized in Canada are those where a Premier threatens to leave the country. Next week, I’ll be meeting with the Prime Minister to bring him a list of projects we can work on for the benefit of all Canadians.

Mikisew Cree Nation Chief Billy-Joe Tuccaro says building a new pipeline is a "fantasy, just like separation here in Alberta." "We will not give any consent knowing they're going to compound the issues here in community, without fixing what's in place now."

Remember! Carney gov't is using a Canada version of FPIC, which is based on legal burden of proof on First Nations & replaces international version of FPIC!

The Canadian government’s “grand bargain” with Alberta, which further opens the door to the construction of a new fossil-fuel pipeline, is “the wrong choice at the wrong time. amnesty.ca/press-releases/ca…

Indigenous Tourism British Columbia (ITBC) says it’s withdrawing its support for the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada (ITAC), due to differences on how the organization should be run. Story by @ehoneybunAPTN aptnnews.ca?p=288202

We’re sick of white grievance politics in Alberta. Right wing Albertans are the most whiny, privileged and entitled bunch of settlers in the world.

I am happy to announce that I have joined the CBC News Indigenous Team as a Sr. Reporter based in Calgary! I’ll be mainly reporting and doing TV, radio & web stories in AB, SK & BC, anywhere I’m needed from Indigenous specific stories and breaking news. I’m in WPG until July.
