Who in their right mind would spend two billion dollars on a road that some ungrateful residents are promising to instantly blockade? Canada, that’s who. And that’s in a region where the national highway largely remains a two lane road.

Neskantaga First Nation and Attawapiskat First Nation have built a settlement where the proposed road will cross the Attawapiskat River. The Canadian Press visited the region last year, including the settlement, where community members plan to block the road whenever construction crews arrive, years from now.

This ought to give the Eby campaign a deserved boost.

The B.C. NDP government has committed to hand over approximately 400 parcels of public Crown land to First Nations, while promising just days before the snap election that it would change the law to limit compensation to forest companies affected by the losses.

The revelation is contained inside briefing documents labelled “confidential” but obtained by Northern Beat. The briefing is dated Sept. 10, less than two weeks before Premier David Eby called a snap election. Anyone who wanted to see the material was forced by government to sign a non-disclosure agreement to remain quiet during the election period.

“One mechanism used to advance reconciliation is through the return of Crown lands to First Nations under treaties and other negotiated agreements,” reads the document, titled “Forest Compensation Framework.”

“Presently, there are approximately 400 parcels committed for transfer through Treaty and reconciliation agreements.”

[…]

The proposed solution is to change the compensation rules to make it cheaper for government to remove the logging rights from forest companies on land earmarked for First Nations by, in some cases, not compensating the companies at all.

The documents show the Eby cabinet approved the policy in July.

More from @RobShaw_BC: The @Dave_Eby cabinet approved the plan in July, put stakeholders under NDAs 12 days before early elxn call, then did not include any of the details for the public in its Foresty elxn plan to voters Wednesday. Docs show a re-elected gov is prepping legislation for spring 2027.

Translation: We want a bigger bribe.

“Sometimes when that happens you’re going to hit the ground, and that ground is our First Nations. Because regardless of any legislative changes, regardless of their processes, we still have our rights — they’re still intact,” Mercredi said.

“What they’re doing is weakening their own processes to develop the resources, which does not work in their favour if a (legal) challenge comes from a nation. They can still hold the key. That’s what people have to remember.”

Back in the day when I ran for provincial and federal office a few times, the buzzword when dealing with aboriginals was “self-government”. Naturally, no one could define what that meant; you were just supposed to agree with it. Same goes today for “reconciliation”. If you can get to the end of the article without feeling physically ill, I congratulate you.

Littlechild said that while Carney has been focused on securing overseas investments, he’s ignoring the rights of Indigenous Peoples at home and sidelining their traditional economies by fast-tracking legislation that would allow for quicker project approvals and environmental reviews.

The “carrot” approach can be seen in how Carney’s cabinet is encouraging First Nations to back the Trans Mountain pipeline through a low-cost loan and a $2.5 million payment for willing investors that some are comparing to a bribe.

What perpetrator of vehicular manslaughter wouldn’t be rehabilitated by spending more time “in nature”?

He considered how colonialization of the Six Nations band had led to a “major disconnection” to Wilson’s culture that, in turn, led him into “over-consumption of alcohol and unhealthy relationships.”

“This crystallized into the tragic events of Feb. 11, 2022,” said Edward.

The judge considered Wilson’s guilty plea and how he has spent his time since the crash in nature, focusing on cultural teachings and traditional practices, according to his mother.

Fraser Institute: B.C. government’s land deals with First Nations threaten its ability to borrow money

Like any borrower, for the provincial government to borrow money there must be an investor willing to lend. The lending side has two groups—bond rating agencies and the actual lenders. Rating agencies analyze the sustainability of government debt to help lenders determine credit worthiness and the level of interest they should charge given the financial strength and creditworthiness of governments.

There are already worrying signs, with five downgrades of B.C.’s provincial debt by rating agencies in recent years. And there’s a real possibility that lenders will be increasingly reluctant—or potentially outright refuse—to provide debt financing to the B.C. government as its debt grows and the reality of bilateral agreements, related court cases and provincial legislation regarding Aboriginal title become clearer. This is not hyperbole. Lenders refused to provide financing to the governments of Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan in the 1990s and to Greece from 2009 to 2018. And in the early 1990s, lenders were increasingly worried about Ottawa’s debt level, causing marked increases in interest rates.

For the B.C. government (and thus, B.C. taxpayers), the financial risks linked with these agreements and court cases could result in marked increases in the interest payments lenders demand to compensate them for increased risks. Indeed, a one-percentage point increase in interest costs on the government’s existing debt would equal roughly an additional $1.9 billion this year alone. That means even more borrowing as the deficit increases.

And Victoria has racked up an almost unimaginable amount of debt in recent years, and the scale of the increase is unprecedented. Coming out of COVID in 2020/21, total provincial government debt stood at $87.1 billion and is expected to reach $183.4 billion this year (2026/27) and $234.6 billion by 2028/29, which is a total increase of 169.3 per cent in just eight years.

Shut up, racist. It’s their culture.

An Alberta First Nation says it aims to defy Premier Danielle Smith’s government by establishing a safe haven for gender-affirming medical care — contrary to provincial law.

The Saddle Lake Cree Nation, located northeast of Edmonton near St. Paul, says health care is a right under Treaty 6 and falls under its inherent jurisdiction.

The First Nation has invoked the “medicine chest clause” provision from the treaty signed in 1876, which Indigenous Peoples interpret as a promise to provide comprehensive health care.

“All children, including trans and two-spirit children and their family, will have safety under our treaty,” Saddle Lake Chief Dale Steinhauer said on Wednesday.

Well, that’s an awkward pivot from the narrative.

Indigenous ways of vanishing.

The Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations says it doesn’t believe any managers meant to steal paintings, jewelry, sculptures or other works that vanished from a $14.4 million Indigenous art collection. It is not known what happened to scores of artworks used to decorate the department’s regional offices: “This went on for decades.”

More: Police were never called, and the department still cannot explain what happened to the paintings, jewelry, sculptures and other taxpayer-funded works…

Jamie Sarkonak;

Heller’s saga began when he spoke up about the wording in the Indigenous competency course mandated for all lawyers by the B.C. Law Society. As things stood back then, all members of the profession had to read through materials endorsed by their professional overseers to maintain the ability to practice — only, the course materials were objectively false. The thousands of professionals gatekeeping everything from real estate deals to criminal sentencing — professionals from which the next generation of B.C.’s judges would be drawn — were being told to internalize the unproven claim that the bodies of children were found at the Kamloops residential school grounds.

What’s the phrase “I’m willing to entertain…” supposed to mean anyway? That he’s going to hold the project ransom at some point? It would be nice to hear “I enthusiastically endorse…” instead, but that would probably land him in hot water with the greenies.

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew says he’s open to a west-east pipeline being pitched by his counterparts in Alberta and Ontario.

But he says major projects like pipelines need to be built the right way, by addressing environmental concerns and bringing Indigenous governments on board.

The answer to this question is obvious to any sane person, but then again you have to look at who we’re dealing with here.

The federal government’s hate speech legislation “hadn’t done the legislative analysis” on whether residential school denialism should be considered as such, Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Rebecca Alty said on Thursday.
