Recently @rjjago quoted the Green Party leader in an OpEd:

“The government is prepared to spend far more on pipelines than on climate action. It is as though we really believe in reconciliation for Indigenous people but first we need to build a few more residential schools.”⤵️
⤴️@ElizabethMay's comment implies a root problem of her party: Indigenous nations are props to the Green Party, to be used when convenient, to the point of making completely disproportionate, unrelated, and clumsy comparisons between genocide & climate crisis.⤵️
⤴️Climate crisis is very bad, but genocide is immoral violence aimed at a people with the intention to destroy them.

Genocide has not ceased in Canada (foster care, MMIWG, police oppression, and many other evils).

The immorality of these two problems should not be confused. ⤵️
⤴️Some indigenous people are aware that Indigenous nations are used as props of convenience by the Green Party.

⤴️The Green Party's policy shortcomings cannot be corrected before the federal election later this year.

Voting Green Party on a hope for meaningful policy on Indigenous peoples' rights will lead to disappointment.
