I'm not impressed with Carney's "Father Knows Best" shtick and neither are many others it appears. It's unfortunate that for many leaders, pressure and fear seems to make them turn toward authoritarianism instead of deepened collaboration.

👋 🇨🇦 A loss of rights for one person is unacceptable; when it happens to a group of people, it shows a pattern; we have only to look to the US to understand what this means.
Let's stand with First Nations and tell our government to respect #Indigenous Rights.

Jeronimo Kataquapit who is leading a Call To Action protest in the remote wilderness of the Attawapiskat River has now started a Youtube Channel.
They are now 140 km west of Attawapiskat FN in northern Ontario and moving west to the heart of the Ring of Fire mining exploration area. They are protesting Ont Bill 5 and Canada's Bill C5 which threaten FN lands.

Starting tomorrow, we need MPs' phones ringing off the wall, and their offices being lined full people trying to stop #billc5. https://www.parl.ca/LegisInfo/en/bill/45-1/C-5

Canada is not for sale’ — but new Ontario law prioritizes profits over environmental and Indigenous rights
#Indigenous rights and Indigenous knowledge are critical for planetary health. But the bill passed into law with no consultation with First Nations. Therefore, it undermines the duty to consult while seemingly favouring government-aligned industries.

#BillC5 is an #undemocratic #TrojanHorse & it is not good for #Canada. PUSH BACK AGAINST IT. Contact every MP you can & voice your concerns asap.
Do not let Carney push through this undemocratic & real shitty bill. Please, fight back.
👋 🇨🇦 Attention Please 👋
This is about Ontario's Bill 5
and the Federal government's Bill C-5
and how it abuses First Nations Rights,
and how they are trying to bring our attention to the issue.

🇨🇦 👉 BillC-5
The federal government must overhaul proposed legislation to advance “projects in the national interest” or risk backsliding on environmental standards and international climate and nature obligations, the David Suzuki Foundation says.
In its current form, Bill C-5 could be used to exempt projects from environmental laws and due process. Parliament should carefully study and improve the Building Canada Act. Projects that are in the country’s national interest should abide by Canada’s environmental laws and regulations.
“These lands are not merely some place for resource developers to invade and tear apart to make money. This land is our home and has been since the dawn of time. It is who we are as a people.”

“Canada claims it is responding to pressure from the United States — the so-called “bully”. But in doing so, Canada is using that as an excuse to bully our Nations... We are not opposed to building, but we will never be bullied and pushed aside.”
—Grand Chief Greg Desjarlais

“The Tŝilhqot’in Nation will not allow any development to occur in the Tŝilhqot’in territory without Tŝilhqot’in consent – no matter what laws are passed by the federal government.”
I think the Senate would be doing the PM a favour by sending #BillC5 back to the House. Mark Carney wants to be the guy who gets things done, but C-5 is just going to generate controversy & court challenges. Do it properly the first time & you won't have those problems, right?
Here is a short video of Jeronimo Kataquapit and his family as they journey on the Attawapiskat River in solidarity with those opposing gov Bill 5 and Bill C5 that is threatening FN lands and rights.

“We want to stand with all other Canadians… but the words that are meant to be inclusive of #Inuit or of #Indigenous peoples broadly seems like they’re just thrown around as if they don’t have meaning.
"And the problem is they have incredibly deep meaning within the fabric of the Constitution, the Supreme Court, and the legislative status of these terms in Canada.
"And that’s where, I think, we are running afoul of our shared intent.”
-- Natan Obed
“It has been Canada’s weakness for patting itself on the back for being a great champion of #Indigenous peoples and an upholder of the rule of law and respecter of Indigenous peoples' rights at the same time acting very differently through its legislation and its practice.”
All the evidence you could ever need that #BillC5 is a really bad idea. PM @mark-carney.bsky.social made decent #climate noises but in the end #BankersGottaBank & #WorldGottaBurn
