It’s becoming clear how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau plans to escape his self-created crisis of transportation blockades and economic gridlock: he is going to use the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as a bargaining chip to end the blockades.
The Liberals introduced UNDRIP legislation in the previous Parliament, but it did not pass. It was promised for this year in the throne speech and was scheduled to be introduced this week. But it was suddenly taken off the agenda. Earlier this month, Canadians were finally given an authoritative high court ruling that the judicially created “duty to consult” does not create an Aboriginal veto over major infrastructure projects, such as the expansion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline. Predictably, this ruling has been widely denounced by Indigenous leaders, who assumed it did. So you can be assured that their number 1 priority in influencing the wording around any new UNDRIP legislation will be to restore that veto.
But the biggest losers will be all Canadians — including Aboriginals, especially those living in remote, rural regions where new pipelines would create permanent jobs in the local economies — who will watch capital investment leave Canada and their jobs and standards of living slump, as we grind into permanent gridlock.
A truly frightening scenario!

Not so fun when your side loses an election is it. You have to watch the guy you didn’t want doing the things you know your guy could do better. It’s just so simple.

UNDRIP says that everyone has to work, to much idle time is not good, if can’t find work, then create work, what do you luv to do
He’s like a one legged man in an ass kicking contest.
It’s time for Canadians to wake up and stop JustinTrudeau from negotiating this country to the ground. This would mean that we have surrendered to the FirstNations and have given them full control of Canada’s land and resources.
Typical. Liberals have to do the job Tories r unwilling, or unable to do!
