I can only laugh at the hand-wringing coming from #cdnmedia in regards to the #bcpoli announcement today to work with the rights of the Indigenous per the CDN Constitution is a real & constructive way.

But, but, but - what will that mean for "CONSENT"?

2. ... Perhaps it will mean the Indigenous will get a real slice of the deal in meaningful ways, developed with mutual respect & understandings.

Most of all, maybe it'll mean no more breaking the arms of FN women when they speak up to those resource corps.

#cdnpoli #bcpoli
The Indigenous have had to give up far, far more than any CDN will ever have to, and yet there are still those who state the Indigenous 'will have to work w/#cdnpoli'.
Ahem, when will the CDNs genuinely work up to their own Constitution & the recognized rights of the Indigenous?
I stand corrected on that idea the arm-breaking coercion to bend to #cdnpoli/#oilandgas will might ease. Despite world concern for Indigenous rights & a climate emergency business as usual in CDA. Listen to this.

#UNDRIP #Constitution #Section35

Whether you agree with #TMX or not, they do not have the right to use the RCMP as their private security to break the arm of a woman on the highway, nor decide a few days later to detain her sister for further punishment.

#cdnpoli #oilandgas #cdnmedia

I want to be clear - these are all the same tactics the #RCMP used to clear the prairies for the railway too.

These are the same threatening coercion efforts condoned by #cdnpoli & far too many CDNs who willingly turn away from human rights, decency & justice for a dollar today.
