None of this matters to the Federal government. It doesn't matter what is written down or how indigenous communities are structured the Federal government will use parliamentary law or police force to do what they want to do.

"Rule of Law" is just a meme the government and corporations like to trot out when its in their favour but never think the law will actually protect the vulnerable. For poor people and specially first nations people, it's full on wild west colonialism out there, there's no rule of law. Government and corporations just take what they want and do what they want.

Trapick posted:Yah, if the situation were reversed and the hereditary chiefs were all big pipeline cheerleaders and the elected council and their supporters had a blockade, I have a feeling we'd have the RCMP acting exactly the same, just with different people in handcuffs. I think Femto's point is that having a unified government structure against the pipeline makes it easier to pull others into the pipeline fights and makes it harder for pro-pipeline propagandists to muddy the waters.

The benefit of having a clear singular governance response is that it narrows the discussion to the core issue. Without a doubt if the Wet'suwet'en Nation clearly said No, the feds, province and pipeline corporation would still be pushing to build the pipeline but they'd have less ammo. Additionally with a clearer issue being discussed, it would be easier for the public to pick a side instead of remaining ambivalent and opting for neutrality. Right now pro-pipeline talking points are about how the bands are ok with it, and that "hereditary leadership isn't democracy therefore isn't valid". These would go away if the Wet'suwet'en Nation decision making process was internalized. Without band council approval as justification, the pipeline proponents would have to fall back to using the assertion that "First Nations don't have a veto" as their justification for ramming through the pipeline.

None of those arguments go away because pro-pipeline people and the Federal/Alberta/BC government are not using good faith arguments.

Ezra Levant saw him on an airplane (e: by complete coincidence, one might believe if one is an absolute moron) and the cops threatened to arrest Levant if he didn't shut the gently caress up about it. Don't read the comments. flakeloaf fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Feb 11, 2020 |

CP Rail lines, used by VIA, in Ontario are blocked, the Vancouver port is being blocked. https://www.narcity.com/news/ca/sk/car-driving-through-protesters-in-regina-caught-on-video quote:According to Elizabeth Popowich, manager of public information with the police service, the protesters in the video did not apply for a permit for traffic control. Police say assault is cool and good because they didn't have the right permit.

He know he can lie about whatever he wants and get his followers all angried up. Khadr is speaking at a conference alongside Romeo Dallaire regarding ending the use of child soldiers worldwide, this was widely publicized. As far as Canada's "no fly list", anyone who claims to know who is on it is full of poo poo because the government doesn't release that information. It won't even say how many people are on the list. The list is reviewed every three months. Ezra is going to Halifax to stalk Khadr because every time Omar Khadr is seen in public, The Rebel makes money.

Apparently doing some stupid drunken poo poo like throwing a chair off a balcony is "we need to send this evil woman to jail to send a message!" but driving through a crowd of people is cool and good and if you express the understanding that you ought not to have done that, then it's all fine. What the actual gently caress? What logic leads to that place?

Chair thrower could've hit white people with money. Crashing a protest with your car just endangers indigenous people and traveling agitators.

Correction: chair thrower could've hit a car being driven by white people with money, which is a heinous crime. Praise be that no cars were hurt!

Does anyone have any good books or resources that give some context and background to first nations land use rights/treaties etc? Obviously it's an incredibly complex subject but I don't think I know anyone with a good understanding of things like the Wet'suwet'en boondoggle. From an outside perspective I get the impression infrastructure projects that have unanimous consent from all FN stakeholders (and in this case even from the elected Wet'suwet'en band council) should be allowed to proceed (if any large infrastructure or energy project can ever be expected to proceed in Canada ever again - even transit or sustainable energy projects tend to have incredible opposition from anyone adjacent to it) but I'm open to getting better context/info.

I accidentally looked at twitter today and saw her horrible name was "trending". When I clicked on it I noticed everyone with one of those stupid blue checks was gushing about what an amazing journalist and person she was while everyone without a check was celebrating her death or reminding everyone of her horrific views. In short, Twitter is a land of contrasts but also very bad.
