It is also home to migrating humpback whales and is a feeding ground for Bigg's whales and northern resident killer whales. It is also home to a rebounding sea otter population, kelp forests and sensitive reefs.The NWT's tundra and taiga-boreal forest The funding would help protect species at risk such as the Peary caribou, whooping crane, polar bear and wolverine, along with some 300 species of birds, most of which are migratory.

And where the F is he getting this money?

That'll help to bribe a LOT of Chiefs.

Race based hiring program. Again.

Hey Trudeau, can I have some money, seems like everyone is getting some except myself and my family

WHAT about the new disability tax credit.....These folks live far below the poverty lines. How about feeding and housing the country's most vulnerable !!!!

Hey JustinTrudeau you reading these? This isn't the small fringe minority that's gotten a PM elected with the smallest amount of votes in canadian history. A record you held on your previous election win.

When do we stop throwing $ at Indians?

Are there native plumbers or electricians or trades people? Seriously. Get that money to use for water etc and stop spending it at the casino. This water issue has gone on for 50 yrs. Where is the money Where

Is this all part of the UNDRIP

Keep the spending going bro.

Spend spend spend eh lib nazi wef cuck

Is this why they were false flag protesting Trudeau? Or maybe it is why they all oppose Bill 1, and Bill 88?

What about our failing heath care system 😘

Where's trudope getting the money this time

Definitely a scam. Anything that comes out of his mouth is a lie. Probably using that money for another vacation TrudeauIsDestroyingCanada TrudeauMustGoNow

You know what generates lots of money for conservation.... Hunting too bad Justin wants to ban this too

important for the to take a critical view of this and not just pompom it. We’re FN consulted? Why do they kill Right whales still ? Is this more than the international agreements demands? It never is and it’s never enough and the results have been worse than ever.

Another empty vain promise....

Don't believe it, you still don't have portable water

Could have given more than that….. gave billions to Ukraine……

Like the trees that were to be planted Just another liberal money laundering scheme

I applaud this! I don't mind my tax dollars going towards this at all. This better be upheld!!

So, do you think your state run media should start investigating why VACCINATED people around the world are dying at unprecedented rates, after taking the VACCINES YOU TOLD US TO?

Is he using his money that he stole from us?

Use the land to prosper and stop taking handouts

Bit by bit

How about they clean up their own backyards of the garbage strewn around, old vehicles left littering yards.

As fantastic as this is, more people would probably feel warmer toward this news if we werent calling in the Red Cross to deal with our hospital situation. Its hard to celebrate a win based on principles when people are being refused proper healthcare on the tail of a pandemic

Not hard to tell elections are coming. I hope no one actually decides to vote for this id!ot

Only 257 likes. What a statement that is. Maybe everyone thinks aboriginals don’t do anything with land like smart colonizers.

That's fine but this whole ev plant they are making is contradictory since most of the materials needed to make an EV is on Aboriginal land.

Great time to spend the money we don't have. Really, really great !

Rip canada.

…Yet the hospital systems are collapsing and unable to care for sick kids.

He needs to resign. He is evil. Just like the cbc.

800 million sure is a lot of drugs and alcohol...

This morning the Islamic Republic regime executed MohsenShekari an Iranian protester accused for closing down the street in recent IranRevolution . MahsaAmini

How about you guys do some investigating. Like how are we the tax payers going to pay for all this increased debt we are taking on. What next, taxing inheritance when elderly parents leave their home to their kids ? crook debt JustinFlation

Where do you think that $800 million came from? It all starts with the land.

Return their ancestral land squatters.

He already threw a trillion in the garbage. Why not another $800 million.

800 million where does he get all this money from. 800 here 800 there.

JustinTrudeau liberal_party Which MP's received funding from China? Did you think that your PoliticalTheatre would make us forget? CorruptLiberalGovt Call an election now PLEASE. ElectionsCan_E & rcmpgrcpolice start your investigations now!

lmao will it actually happen? Or will it be like his promise to get clean drinking water on the reservations? That still has not happened and the time frame has come and gone. JustinTrudeau you are a disgrace. RESIGN

The amount of racist comment about this are sickening

Is indigenous conservation based on science? Just as much as indigenous medicine?

Trudeau is giving the cbc 800 million a year for services rendered to his small penis.

Great, Ford will cut more funding to the already crippling Healthcare

Clean up your reserves first. How do you expect to lead conservation projects when your own back yards are junk piles contaminating the very land you live on.

How can we stop this insanity

More lies

Wow dying for votes already eh..

Omg.. how generous 800mil ..and to think he only wasted 200mil more then that in tax payer dollars on the billion dollar AstraZeneca vaccine toilet flush earlier this year...because no one wanted their miocaridis jab on this planet...yay liberals!! Please spend more of my money!

Justine trudeau is a nazi traitor

Who is tracking these projects? Is there any accountability? I think we need to speak out as tax payers for this ridiculous funding

IDIOT

I wish I had a tree as big as his fairy land tree! Where can I get one?

Big trudy for treason

Hitler was a better leader than Trudeau!!

Wtf 🤔🤔 We're in a recession and this guy is spending billions everywhere. Where in the f$ is he getting all this money from?

And there goes another $800 million of our money wasted on feel-good nonsense that won't accomplish anything other than enriching a few of the Chiefs and Liberal-appointed administrators of these projects. FuckTrudeau OutWithTheTrash

Buying votes with tax dollars. In fact, he will not follow through after the election. It’s a scam.

Another $800m for the First Nations with dubious benefits, the free cash giveaway continues

Another waste of money

I guess trudos going to have to get afew more after hiur jobs to pay for this.. As when the end comes we won't be on his side🇨🇦

“Indigenous-led” is code for “Indigenous-industry”. An army of unelected chiefs, lawyers and indigenous ‘consultants’ (a.k.a. Liberal Party supporters) will all be wetting their beaks. The environment will see minute changes, but a lot of insiders will line their pockets.

Ahhh what the Fck it’s only 800 million! Couple billion here , billion here, three billion over there. Endless money to the great laundromat in the Ukraine! Money has no value anymore, they just print more making it worthless, this is their goal. Then they start over. Agenda 30.

800 million of vote pandering ..

Just trying to get votes.. this is a scam at its finest lol

At least he won't develop it into housing like Crud Ford.

Like where is all this money coming from? Yet seniors I'm to be 72 & yet look at OAS it's disgusting. I'm for all this again but were the forgotten to!

What a waste of taxpayer money.

Always trying to find a way to spend money he doesn’t have.

Aaaaaannnd The Inflation Rate that is starving average Canadians? Any answers Tru'doh?

I think they would prefer clean drinking water. But I may be mistaken

Why not 800 trillion?

There are other people in this country that need actual help. I'm sick of trust fund baby playing monopoly with our money, raising prices, taxes. He caters to Special interest and low earners to buy votes while we pick up the tab!

Give that money out like it's not real!!! Oh wait, his trust funds okay.

When is he going to tell us how our country is going to get out of debt ?

Ok, so why not take that money & put it towards finding & retaining Dr's. This one thing is a luxury for blue collar workers. Justin.....you know them. They are the actual hard working Canadians trying to make ends meet, some working 2 jobs. FFS..really-800m, where does it end

With no accountability, just like CBC.

Anything this traitor does is suspect.

lovely my most amazing leader

💸💸💸

I am very curious what those projects really are.

Wow! He is like a teenager with his parent's credit card. Reckless and unaccountable.

$ from where? His butt?

Oh piss off, stop spending our money for fuck sakes

He just likes giving all our money he should donate some of the money he stole from canadians

Seven years? He won't be in office that long...

This is racist. Why not fund all conservation efforts regardless of the person's race, sex, skin colour, ethnic background.

Be new trucks for the chiefs and council at the least.

No to Trudeau’s Climate change ideology. Here is a smarter viewpoint

Probably just build casinos and smoke factories...build the clean water...build the homes...no money given for more of the same bullshit...

Coont

Dr Justin the violent discriminator Trudeau is spending $800 million to violently discriminate against indigenous people and prevent them from doing what they want on their land

fundthevets vetsdeservebetter Do you think he’ll find some money for the Vets too?

I think they'd really like clean water. I know I would. How's that going?

The guy can't even come good on his tree planting promise, you think this is going to happen!?!

Meanwhile potable water for FNs remains elusive!!!

Don’t forget the 200 BILLION $$$ Cindy Blackstock is trying to wrangle out of Canadian taxpayers for the children’s children of residential schools. WHEN is this blackmail going to stop?

Zero accountability, irresponsible corrupt government

Money grows on tree

this is not good for me. In my opinion. There are so many open / vacant lands in canada to develop the conservation lands yet

Another fake promise. Will never see the light of day. Say you’re campaigning without saying you’re campaigning…… TrudeauIsDestroyingCanada TrudeauNationalDisgrace TrudeauLiedUnderOath TrudeauCorruption WEFpuppet cdnpoli

Bunch of thieves.

More taxpayer money legally stolen.

Where's he getting all this money from?

Great. We are in a recession with the highest inflation in 40 yrs and our dingbat of a leader JustinTrudeau can’t help spending another BILLION dollars. liberal_party is a joke and the sooner an election is called the better imo.

The money printing machines are probably smoking at this point

Um ya what about the human shit dumping your ok with Hypocrite

I question this, will their be any oversight or accountability with the finances? Will they consult experts on this? Will they start by cleaning up their reserves?

So he screwed up on the whole Tofino day fiasco and now we have to pay billions for him to make amends. Did I say that out loud, my bad?

Now talk to Ford and stop him from profiting of OUR greenbelt.

maybe just build them the facilities needed for clean drinking water instead of all this.

how many more billions?

Water. They need clean water.

🇨🇦🥰👏👏👏🇨🇦

Wow, lots of money, lots of fluff, no explanation of why $800 million is required!

Oh look more propaganda Canada

I really hope it doesn't end up being a scam.. but its where my mind went.

Wonderful, where is the clean water!

Money is nothing to this man thank god he will not be in power in seven years

How do we have the money to pay for this? Where is it coming from?

Another white elephant Canadians get stuck with the bill. Nobody asked me.

Sounds like part of the UN plan to move everyone into limited mega cities and leaving most of the planet as nature preserve. How much private land is being confiscated from private land owners to do this?

Hell why not $8 billion, or $80 trillion. For a virtue signal of this importance can we will really put a price cap on it?

How about clean water PM blackface?

Future non performing contracts, again.

We just want health care.

The Liberal Feds are killing two birds with one stone. Taking credit for protecting lands and giving hush money to First Nations involved. However, there is no resolution of treaty rights.

800M? Not surprise. This is from someone who spent 650 Mill on a snap election that didn’t change 1 thing. 1.45B down the crapper Id say. Plus Auditor General claims 4B of “known waste” and 27B of suspected waste and 60M under criminal investigation. Plus MSM “Funding” these 🤡

This should be interesting…

My next life I’m going to be an indigenous teacher

CBC Happy Holidays Everyone 🎄 Have a safe season 🙏 I love this!

How about start with clean drinking water on reservations

Trudeau has announced and promised many things but has failed to deliver almost on every promise🤷‍♀️

When do we ever get to see and scrutinize the breakdown of expenses (with complete receipts) for all of these handouts? I'd like to know the names of exactly whose bank accounts my money ended up being in.

So Trudeau won’t increase healthcare transfers without the prov’s agreeing to conditions but he will hand over this money with no conditions and hope for the best because in his view these FN’s knows what’s best for them? Trudeau’s virtue signaling is becoming very expensive.

And what will there be to show for it?

You are out of control and should be investigated !

Inflation? What inflation?

He says crap like this all the time... Never happens

make those fossil fuel companies pay for it, instead giving them tax breaks this time or sending money to random wars.

$800 million worth of virtue-signalling.

It isn't collapsing. Turn off 'the news'

Would be nice to have details on what $800/sq km does exactly. It just says to fund conservation projects.

How about SOME CLEAN DRINKING WATER FFS ? 😐 OH THAT'S RIGHT......THAT WOULD ACTUALLY REQUIRE DOING SOMETHING. cdnpoli

I’ve lost track of the billions Justin has handed out.

How many BILLIONS has Trudeau paid out and promised of Tax-payer money to Indigenous issues? How much will money will actually make it to the FNMI versus how much will go to Trudeau's friends via the leaky bucket?

More money to be squandered by the Chiefs as band members continue to live in poverty.

It’s hard the read all the millions and billions being doled out all the time! Not to mention the colossal waste of tax payers dollars given to ineligible ppl and companies during Covid.

Another day, another billion spent by Trudeau.

$800 million

I wouldn't hold my breath for it, you might die of oxygen deprivation like the people on ODSPoverty and disability across canada still waiting on DERB

I'm glad this happened when more than 50% of canadians are living pay to pay.

Seems Trudeau forgot a few provinces, ones he never wins seats in. Hmmm “Ontario, Nunavut, the Northwest Territories and British Columbia that will be funded starting next year”

Let the vote buying begin !

Good initiative and the Liberals can now use that SNC Lavalin hush money for something

Trudeau, ministers emerge from Rouleau Commission testimony 'relatively unscathed,' say insidersPrime Minster Justin Trudeau, cabinet members, and high-level government officials who testified before the Public Order Emergency Commission emerged without too much political damage, say insiders and experts, as critics were hard-pressed to find successful lines of attack on the government. According to a document tabled on Nov. 25, a Feb. 14 first ministers’ conference call surrounding the Emergencies Act was convened prior to a final decision being made, with the prime minister concluding that he was “confident we can find a resolution to the situation,” and that he was conscious of concerns around inflaming the protest. Trudeau also said his recollection was that the use of the Emergencies Act would be “step by step, proportional, and not overreaching.” The prime minister invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time in Canada’s history later that day to bring an end to the weeks-long occupation by protesters railing against pandemic restrictions. Police required two days to clear protesters out of downtown Ottawa before the declaration was revoked on Feb. 23. Pollster Nik Nanos said a lot of the testimony heard throughout the inquiry reinforced what most Canadians already knew, which was that there was a “hot mess” between different law enforcement agencies, and between the federal government and provinces such as Ontario and Alberta. “That said, all Justin Trudeau (Papineau, Que.) had to do was not make a mistake, and he got through it without making a mistake, so from a public opinion perspective, that’s a win,” said Nanos of the prime minister’s highly anticipated appearance on the final day of the commission’s hearings. There are “inherent risks” in having any prime minister testify before an inquiry, but Nanos called it “very unusual” for a prime minister to gain support as a result of testifying before an inquiry. Pollster Nik Nanos says there are ‘inherent risks’ in having any prime minister testify before an inquiry, but that Trudeau got through witho mike_lpnt Somebody had to be the adult in the room!
