Excellent reporting from APTN. These two opening paragraphs:
With Alberta’s promise to fully respect “Canada’s duty to consult with Indigenous Peoples,” as part of its promised July 1 submission on a new bitumen pipeline to the Major Projects Office, the province isn’t revealing which First Nations have been consulted.
Information provided by Alberta’s Ministry of Indigenous Relations said it’s not providing a list of specific communities in the interest of “open and honest participation.”
which is about as dryly sarcastic and critical as a purely factual report can be.
1/3 🧵

And what, from the economic perspective, is the point? the ocean-based B.C. economy at $21 billion annually with over 130,000 full-time jobs. so we're talking about spending billions of taxpayer dollars to endanger an $21 billion/year economy. 2/3 🧵 https://www.aptnnews.ca/national-news/imminent-alberta-pipeline-proposal-submission-has-b-c-environmentalists-first-nations-readying-for-battle/ #APTN #pipeline #FossilFuels #OilAndGas #Carney #CDNPoli #BCPoli #ABPoli #Canada
