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 🧵

The Carney-Smith pipeline “is in complete opposition to the wishes and the things that the people in this part of the world support (…). The people here for the last 50 years have worked diligently to get legislation in place that would protect what is an extremely diverse and ecologically vulnerable place. It has values that far surpass anything that a possible pipeline and tanker route would provide for us.”
