1/10 PM @JustinTrudeau & #NATO @jensstoltenberg just visited #Canada’s biggest fighter jet base, CFB Cold Lake, in #Alberta. Canadians should know that the land for this @RCAF_ARC base & air weapons range was stolen from First Nations 70 years ago. bit.ly/3CxYLCb 🧵⬇️ 
2/From 1952-1960 Liberal govt gave minimal compensation to Dene & Cree peoples for taking land then stopped all payments. Loss of land had devastating consequences: poverty, despair & trauma. They lost traditional hunting grounds & sacred sites that were under Treaties 6, 8 & 10.
3/For 7 decades, all year long, Canada’s #fighterjets conduct loud, low-level flights over reserves & they bomb, strafe and torpedo #ColdLake Air Weapons Range, it's boreal #forest habitat for endangered #caribou. Land contaminated w/ munitions & toxins from military. @IENearth
.@r_garrison @ndp what an outrageous response. We don't need $77B fighter jets. So called Canada is simply following in the footsteps of US empire and is setting up military bases across the globe.
We need housing, better medical care, and so much more. #NoNewFighterJets

.@ndp @theJagmeetSingh how is Zionist @r_garrison still even in your party? This man is defending the purchase of $77B worth of fighter jets, ffs. That's our public tax dollars to fight imperial wars on behalf of the US empire. No new fighter jets and no wars.
