I am Canadian. I want to build a mine somewhere else, let's say Finland. I'm going to build it where no one lives, so I don't impact anyone's home. I'll apply my own laws on the site, even if they contradict Finnish law. I'll totally promise to clean up everything and restore it to what it originally was when I'm done. Do you think Finland would be totally cool with that?

These Bands are effectively sovereign nations, though nearly all of their lands have been seized, their communities displaced to wherever their conquerors wanted, stripped of their resources and culture, and yet, not only do you call them tyrants, you question why they want a say in what happens on what little land they have left.

We did, that was the whole point

The Liberals are the old Conservatives and the Conservatives are the Reform Party

I mean in a sense we got the Canadian version of Harris-mini in place of Trump-mini, a Bill Clinton, or in our terms a Paul Martin type. We avoided the mistake our neighbours made, thanks to a glimpse of the consequences.

That said, I am still confident that with enough attention paid to resistance movements, Carney's Liberals will be able to turn it around. Liberals aren't always conservative or progressive, all the time. There's ebb and flow, give and take.

So I'm not saying "relax, everything's fine" but it's not "the sky is falling" panic situation either. Targeted action, supporting progressive bills and protesting regressive bills is what we as Canadians to do to deliver the federal government we asked for.

When something seems too good to be true, it usually is. Carney definitely seemed to be entering that territory in the run up to the election, so I've always reserved some suspicion. At this point if they form a coalition government with the conservatives, as laughable as that idea seems, then we know we've definitely been had.

The NDP who wanted to import millions of people that don't care about indigenous rights?
