Protection Racket

Well, that response  took all of about ten minutes to develop. Maybe fifty percent unemployment across the country would change their attitude, but I’m not too confident about that.

Assembly of First Nations chiefs voted unanimously on Tuesday to demand the withdrawal of a new pipeline deal between Canada and Alberta, while expressing full support for First Nations on the British Columbia coast that strongly oppose the initiative.

The resolution also urges Canada, Alberta and B.C. to recognize the climate emergency and uphold the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

 

Protection Racket

Hardly a week has passed since the memorandum of understanding with Alberta, and already the Libs are laying the groundwork for endless “unavoidable” delays. At this rate, I don’t know why Guilbeault found it necessary to quit caucus at all.

On his way into a cabinet meeting Tuesday morning, the former minister of Crown-Indigenous relations told reporters he sees a difficult road ahead for any pipeline project.

“If everyone thought Thursday was difficult, that was probably the easiest day in the life of that pipeline,” Miller said.

Sovereign Money Pit

What’s not to love about a sovereign wealth fund where others are forced to pony up the seed capital? It also helps to imagine that such a fund could not possibly make anything but the wisest investments.

Chief Joe Miskokomon said the fund would be a “critical step” forward in bolstering the economic capacity of First Nations.

“We’re not saying to take out the banks,” Miskokomon said in an interview.

“What we’re saying is the banks don’t need to have as much as a say as they do.”

We Are All Treaty People

National Post;

Canada has paid billions upon billions to rectify past wrongs — figures that supersede what we spend on the military, and yet are still not enough.

Here’s a partial list: $23 billion to settle the lawsuit for the government not adequately covering the costs of Indigenous children in care; $1.72 billion to cover the cost of farming equipment that was promised to Saskatchewan First Nations 150 years ago but wasn’t provided; $14.9 billion to resolve special claims since 1973; $1.1 billion to settle a lawsuit by patients of federal Indigenous hospitals; $1 billion to an Alberta First Nation to adjust 19th-century treaty payments to modern dollars and $10 billion to another in Ontario, opening the doors to other nations doing the same.

And there are many more on the way. Some Manitoba First Nations are suing Manitoba Hydro for a share of the energy company’s profits, some Ontario First Nations are seeking $95 billion and the power to halt all development in Treaty 9 land without Indigenous consent. It all adds up to complete economic stagnation.

The Liberal government’s attitude of pulling punches and paying claims out the nose — and appointing judges who are open to the idea of more and more compensation — has swelled this into a problem of scales hard to comprehend. Oh, and when anyone points out the sheer cost of all this, they can expect to be accused of perpetuating the “colonial mindset.”

Be careful there, buddy.

Gravy Trains

Not only are they demanding payment for any future infrastructure projects, but nearly a billion dollars up front just to figure out what those payments might be. They’re like a contractor who charges you to develop an estimate or a realtor who demands a commission prior to a sale.

In her opening remarks, National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak pointed to provincial bills that also seek to fast-track major projects. She praised chiefs in B.C., Quebec and Alberta for standing up for their rights and territories by pushing back against provincial governments.

The assembly recently put forth a pre-budget submission to the federal government recommending $800 million over the next two years to support a First Nations review of national interest projects.

Gifts For Grifters

The headline needs a correction: taxpayers bought a share in the terminal, not First Nations.

The three equal partners say the deepsea terminal’s primary purpose is transporting critical minerals such as copper concentrate to market from sources including Newmont’s Brucejack and Red Chris mines in Nisga’a and Tahltan territories.

The price of the terminal isn’t included in the statement, but it says the province provided a $5-million grant to the Tahltan and Nisga’a nations to support the purchase.

 

Things You’ll Never See On The CBC

Candice Malcolm (threadrolled);

Meet Jordan Tucker, a former CBC reporter.

This is her own profile picture – note the pride progress CBC logo. It’s too perfect.

Last Spring, Tucker attempted to do what CBC does everyday: push a woke activist agenda and pretend it’s real journalism.

She interviewed Professor Frances Widdowson on April 1, 2024 for a hit piece

But what she didn’t expect is that @FrancesWiddows1 also RECORDED the conversation and posted it on Youtube in July 2025.

Here is a preview of the absolute TRAIN WRECK that unfolded.

It’s Not About The Money

Blacklock’s- $704M Graves Fund Requests

A federal fund for exhumation of suspected graves at Indian Residential Schools is heavily oversubscribed, says a report. First Nations have applied for more than $700 million in funding, triple the original budget.

Rebel- First Nations request $704M to exhume alleged graves

In 2021, following the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation’s claim of 215 graves at a Kamloops Residential School site, cabinet announced the fund. Though no remains were found, the First Nation received $12.1 million for exhumations and DNA testing.

Team Players

Basically, we’ll pretend to be on Team Canada if you fork over enough protection money. After all, you want to avoid “conflict”, don’t you?

First Nations also need to be partners in protecting and growing the economy in the face of Trump’s potentially devastating tariffs, the leadership council stressed.

“There can’t be a ’Team Canada’ [approach] if you don’t have a strong contingent of First Nations leadership sitting at that table with you,” Casimer said.

To avoid conflict and to craft a unified response, First Nations must have a voice at the table when decisions are being made that affect their lands and resources, she said, noting the council hasn’t been approached to be part of the tariff strategy.

 

Chief Randy Big Screen TV Of The Libranos First Nation

CBC;

Alberta MP Randy Boissonnault has resigned from cabinet amid allegations about his business dealings and criticism of his shifting claims about his Indigenous ancestry.

“The prime minister and MP Randy Boissonnault have agreed that Mr. Boissonnault will step away from cabinet effective immediately. Mr. Boissonnault will focus on clearing the allegations made against him,” a spokesperson for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement. .

That Trudeau is a fickle one.

#Pocahontas – come get your boy.

For years, Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault spoke in Parliament and at public events of his great-grandmother as “a full-blooded Cree woman.”

Now, facing scrutiny over shifting statements he made about his connections to Indigenous ancestry and, presented with records suggesting otherwise, Boissonnault’s office acknowledges that this was not true and his adoptive great-grandmother’s family in fact had Metis lineage, and she was not “full-blooded Cree.”

Questions surrounding Boissonnault’s heritage emerged following a National Post report revealing that the business he co-owned called itself fully “Indigenous” and “Aboriginal-owned” as it tried to bid on federal contracts reserved for Indigenous businesses.

The minister has said his former business partner made that bid without his knowledge and did not consent to it.

How DARE you call that Pretendian a fraud!
