Carney didn’t run with this in the platform, no Canadians were consulted on this.

Carney absolutely ran on a platform of Canadian industry independence, and building infrastructure to that end as quickly as possible. If anyone didn't see a bill like C-5 coming as a means to that end, one was not paying attention.

The harm of failing to consult on such a rushed piece of legislation is the harm.

Then I would argue that no harm was caused because bills pass regularly without further consultation from the public. This happens because we elect people to draft, vote on, and pass legislation.

Just think what PP would do with these powers?

Even if we believe Carney will act honouably, this legislation opens the door to all sorts of damage in the name of “projects of national interest” for all federal gov’t’s to come.

Fear mongering helps no one, and is not a valid argument against the legislation.

The Tribes bringing this ridiculous lawsuit to the courts is a waste of time and resources as no damage has been caused by the passing of this bill, and it is absolutely insulting to the idea of truth and reconciliation that they demand $100 million for not asking to pass the bill first to "set an example".

If they do not like how the Canadian Government is doing things they have a legal right to self determination and Governance.
