today's essential read for all Canadians. “Human rights and respect for constitutionally protected Aboriginal rights and title, in addition to Indigenous Peoples’ right to self-determination, must not be spun as inconveniences to Canada’s economic aspirations,”

Whose Nation Is Being Built?
Carney’s first “national interest” project is an oil pipeline through Indigenous territories. Consent was not part of the announcement.

Just one day before the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Prime Minister Mark Carney has dealt yet another devastating blow for the climate and Indigenous rights. Who else is sick of seeing this government bend over backwards for fossil fuel billionaires?

Until now, ending a legal strike required MPs to stand in the House and vote for it, in public, with their names recorded. That was a guardrail. C-39 removes this and calls the removal reinforcement. Parliament, and Canadians, should not accept the vocabulary. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Mark Carney says he’s protecting Canadian workers. It’s Orwellian doublespeak
Subject to ministerial review, the right to strike is likely to be much weakened by Bill C-39.
