First let’s talk about basic Indigenous rights, then we’ll get to reconciliation
The 2 events are aspects of the same fight — "to be fairly, legally recognized in a country that spins stories about the sincerity of reconciliation...."

1) We need a Lie tracker on Andrew Scheer, Doug Ford, & Jason Kenney
Those I follow who are excellent sources on the carbon tax are
@trevortombe @andrew_leach, @EcofiscalCanada @kevinmilligan
The rest of the thread is mostly ammunition against lies

2) Andrew Scheer begins new year with warning of skyrocketing carbon taxes
"The Liberal carbon tax is just about raising revenue for government."
LIAR: 90% of it goes back to Citizens. #cdnpoli

3) Trudeau’s carbon tax takes effect in industrial heartland
"Consumers in the holdout provinces will receive federal payments that will exceed their carbon tax bill in a bid to cushion the blow"

1) Why are some Albertans throwing a temper tantrum without knowing facts?
Jason Kenney asks: "Yes, why the double standard?" in response to
"Why no oil tanker bans for Quebec?"

2) It's not about Alberta, Quebec, oil transport on the St Lawrence River, Beluga Whales, or Energy East.
It's about BC! Why must it always be about AB?
Why are Albertans not angry at Politicians with an election Agenda?
Imagine Supertankers navigating these islands

3) The article also doesn't capture the important details: the navigational, ecosystem,and demographic differences between the St Lawrence, the Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte islands (Haida Gwaii).
It blindly ignores details and invites Albertans to send hate to QC & BC. Why?

1) Conservative collusion with the oil industry, stacking the NEB with industry insiders, & gutting Canada’s environmental protections led to the failure of Northern Gateway (NG), TMX, the creation of #IdleNoMore, entrenched pipeline opposition, and #cdnpoli #abpoli #bcpoli
2) to Bill C69 and:
Fisheries Act no longer protects most fish
Navigable Waters Act doesn't protect most lakes/rivers
Environmental Assessment Act replaced with a skinny law probably written on a napkin
Round Table on Environment & Economy dismantled
But Harper wasn’t done!

3) He demonized the environmental movement & aboriginal groups, and laid the groundwork for conspiracy theories: anti-oil-activists were a threat to national security, were “eco-terrorists” or “violent aboriginal extremists”, & that foreign money was blocking oilsands expansion.
1) UCP and CPC should stop slamming PM Trudeau when they are lacking facts
About 'gender impacts' and construction workers ...what Trudeau said at the G20, what the PMO says he meant, and how his critics interpreted his comments #cdnpoli #abpoli

1) CBC needs to challenge all Conservatives who lie that PM Trudeau killed Gateway & that Prem Notley gave her blessing. The court overturned it! Flaws were many. Opposition was insurmountable: the late Premier Prentice knew NG wouldn't proceed at Kitimat #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg
2) Prentice says other options besides Kitimat for Northern Gateway Plan
"Getting First Nations approval for the Northern Gateway pipeline will be “pretty tough,” as long as the proposed terminus remains at Kitimat, B.C...."

3) Northern Gateway pipeline approval overturned. Federal Court of Appeal finds Canada failed to consult with First Nations on pipeline project
