OTTAWA — Theresa Tait Day, a former Wet’suwet’en hereditary leader, told MPs a pipeline project had been “hijacked” by five male chiefs and criticized Liberal cabinet ministers for making a secret deal with them.
Crown Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett met with a group of hereditary chiefs from the Wet’suwet’en community in Northern B.C. last month after weeks of crippling railway blockades. But Tait Day, part of a group called the Wet’suwet’en Matrilineal Coalition who was stripped of her title of hereditary chief after supporting the Coastal GasLink project, said the vast majority of the people in Wet’suwet’en territory want the project to go ahead.
“The Indian Act system must be reformed, but that does not invalidate the role of the elected councils,” she said.“We need to have the benefits of our land. We need to be able to have equity stakes in projects that come forward.” Bennett said the agreement wasn’t about the pipeline project, but taking broader steps to solve the land claim settlement that the Wet’suwet’en people have had outstanding for years.We need to have the benefits of our land
Tait Day agreed the broader issue needed a resolution, but said they also could not ignore good projects that were in front of them.Several Conservative MPs also asked whether the agreement would be returned to Parliament for scrutiny. Bennett emphasized this was just the first step.
Charlie Chaplin lives in Carlyn Bennet. The MILANKOVITCH cycles cause ClimateChange not EARTH's 5 Billion year old closed co2 loop
PipelineAction The Liberals, NDP and Green, and their handlers are behind these blockades and protests. Don't ever kid yourself
CanadaAction Maybe sue those wealthy funded fake chiefs. Most Canadians need the jobs and income. Guess these chiefs don’t. Perhaps tax the land to the extreme now.
CanadaAction 338 MPs elected and 5 non-elected persons trump democractic rights of indigenous populations. Makes total sense.
Finally, a news outlet picks up the story. About time!!
mogrant61 Every day Canada becomes a bigger punchline TrudeauIsNotFitForOffice TrudeauMustResign
Trudeau and the Eco terrorist's legitimized these scumbags while denying Wetsuweten members the right of self government and self determination. Looooooosers.
They got their quarter billion they're good.
The Liberals are in league with the Tar Sands Campaign to shut down Canadian energy and this dark money leads all the way to Trudeau's inner circle. It's all well-documented. How stupid are we?
Wonder how much those five guys are walking off with? Scary that this is the level of incompetence in the federal government.
Trudeau’s cabal wanted this to happen, that’s why it happened.
If you followed Rebel News you would have known about these 5 guys a year ago.
Disgusting welfare pimps held the country hostage
bogieman1445 Really..then why have them as leaders? Sounds odd to me.
FrankAlec is an Illegitimate chief! A FRAUD!! His title is stolen from the true female hereditary chief. JustinTrudeau went behind the backs of the Wetsuweten and negotiated with Chief Thief Frank Alec who if a liar and fraud.

jeannetix Here’s another chief
RebelNewsOnline TheRealKeean broke this over a year ago. SPECIAL REPORT: Foreign-funded corporation posing as a First Nation bloc...
TheRoyGreenShow The burger guys?
TheRoyGreenShow Actually six guys, JustinTrudeau. He’s ignored extensive information as has MSM, provided by FairQuestions In addition Trudeau & MSM focussed all attention on that small group while thumbing their nose at the majority of Wet’suwet’en people. Emboldened the few! Disgusting!
Government fears a prosperous populace.
No, this whole bullshit process suits our Federal Govt just fine. It was hijacjed by Captain Canada, trudeau, and is anti-energy MPs
ezralevant Not counting the government hijackers?
...bec the media kept giving all the coverage to the protesters, making each day more headline grabbing, so all politicians who want to be in the news kept talking to them to appease the protesters. Complete disregard of band members supporting the pipeline. So Biased Media

ezralevant JustinTrudeau you have no idea how to lead ... time to step down!!
Good to see MSM finally waking up to what all of us “alt-right white supremacists and climate deniers” 🙄 have been saying all along.
ezralevant Also looks like the left wings golden country Norway is having challenges
ezralevant Why are Canadians so spineless to do anything about it. The silent majority ain't doing shit, police allowing antifa to roam the street and they can exercise their violent rant and abuse on conservatives who disagree with them, ashamed and embarrassed to be a Canadian.
This is what happens when our country's leadership and the CBC prioritize listening to dimwits and ninnies before looking for the voices of reason like Theresa Tait-Day.
The Wet’suwet’en let it happen, and shame on them for allowing a bunch of unsupported rebels speak for them. And our national government fell for it. No leadership, no plan ... just playing a stupid game.
How does the PM still have a job?
Canada; the land of free crime and Terrorism; why go anywhere else?
This proves again that the wheel that squeaks the most gets all the grease from TrudeauNotFitForOffice regardless of the consequences on the interest of Canada or on Canadians.
