"#Canadian #mining and oil companies in #Ecuador are linked to serious #humanrightsviolations, including poisoning freshwater sources and trampling #Indigenousrights. Ecuadorian communities have spoken loudly and clearly: this free trade agreement will exacerbate existing concerns. 3Canada must listen and ensure rights are protected." https://miningwatch.ca/blog/2026/5/7/canadian-civil-society-leaders-say-no-canada-ecuador-free-trade-agreement

This formal petition to the Government of Canada, sponsored by Leah Gazan, says that the Liberal's MOU with Alberta was signed in violation of gaining proper consent with indigenous peoples and calls attention to the severity (and wrongness) of rolling-back environmental requirements.

The Royal Proclamation of 1763 was issued by King George III on October 7th, 1763, acknowledging Indigenous rights to vast territories in North America and forbade all new settlements west of a line drawn along the Appalachian Mountains. Any use of these lands had to be negotiated by treaty. It has been called the "Indian Magna Carta" and was included in our Constitution. But it wasn't perfect, as this analysis points out. #IndigenousRights #Colonialismhttps://activehistory.ca/blog/2013/10/04/the-royal-proclamation-and-colonial-hocus-pocus-a-learned-treatise/

"American billionaires own millions of acres of farmland in B.C. They control the only oil refinery on #Canada’s West Coast. They own the only gas pipeline to the coast. They own the Ksi Lisims #LNG proposal. The American government, companies and wealthy citizens own critical minerals mines, sawmills, warehouses, businesses and luxury real estate all over B.C." https://www.dogwoodbc.ca/news/whos-behind-backlash-over-indigenous-rights-bc/#bcpoli #IndigenousRights #UNDRIP #cdnpoli #capitalism
