Re: #Wetsuweten
We conducted a professional poll in May with Environics looking at Indigenous people living in rural/reserve communities and their attitudes to resource development. Indigenous people in BC had the highest support for oil & gas development of any province - 65%./1

BC First Nations have been discussing the pros and cons of natural gas and CGL for YEARS. There have been referendums, multiple election cycles, negotiations, consultations. And hard work to train community members and build business structures in order to benefit properly. /2
It's difficult to watch "allies" talk about supporting Indigenous sovereignty & rights but dismiss the majority who want that development.
You don't have to support natural gas. But maybe think about how you're using the Wetsuweten Nation to further your agenda, not theirs. /3
