Assembly of First Nations National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak is feeling the weight of the moment as she approaches something her predecessors sought for years: a sit-down meeting with the prime minister and premiers.
Carney is gonna do something very smart. He is going to do a deal with first nations chiefs, one they have been seeking for years, and do it in a way that at least optically respects them as equal nations in the deal. They may sign on to his crazy oil and resource projects if they get a sovereign fund they can develop themselves with. I see carney agreeing to this.
Meanwhile:
"Quebec Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon confirmed at an unrelated news conference in Montreal on Friday that he would not be attending the meeting.
He explained that he wants to prioritize a different approach with Indigenous peoples"
No wonder indigenous nations fear separatists republicanism. They would be colonialist white republics that rip up sovereign agreements.
Britian seeing the loss of their holdings as US and indigenous wars boiled over, was to recognize them as nations but mandate the treaties be binding. Ironically then to give britain legitimacy, now a constitutional underpinning that canada is finally embracing.
Yep, the QC separatists completely fail to understand that the Indigenous people of the province know exactly how much worse things would be for them under an independent Quebec. They and their land aren’t going anywhere.
