Alberta and two First Nations reach deal for proposed oilsands mine

The Alberta government has struck deals with two northern Alberta First Nations over a proposed open-pit oilsands mine that’s awaiting Ottawa’s approval.

But on Sunday, the province announced agreements have been reached with both First Nations that address bison and caribou habitats and protect Wood Buffalo National Park. Alberta Environment Minister Jason Nixon thanked Adam and Waquan, who he said worked hard to balance differing interests.

That will go South in a few days when an unelected Hereditary Chief stands up and says “even though the majority of my people want this I don’t so it won’t happen and I have a lot of white people out there who will stand with me and support my decision”.

Too little, too late

This didn’t age well...

lambert_pp cdnpoli canpoli Alberta ... only to have Teck withdraw its application for the Frontier project hours later.

Another tweet that didn't agree well.

This didn't age well...

Well shit.

All they need to do is find one chief who is opposed and this “deal” is over

That looks like a horrible use of land

Don't worry, the first Nations will get pissed off about it later when it's convenient

That’s how it’s supposed to work in the big world.

Are the Mohawks in Quebec/Ontario completely happy with this? Because they must approve every resource related project in Canada now. Awsome responsibility that they appear to have take off the hands of our Liberal federal government.

Que outrage mob, and protests.

beynate

It does not matter. The precedence has been set. Any time any radicals want to hold Canada hostage, we will pay the ransom. This isnt over, and will get much worse.

So there is no legitimate reason not to approve the project now

massive greenhouse effect ...what complete rubbish
