Canada publicly brands…

Canada publicly brands itself as seeking reconciliation with nations indigenous to this land but its action such as this development project signals the opposite system of values.

The Government of Ontario’s introduction and advancement of Bill 5, Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, 2025, in its current form, continues to ignore, violate, and threaten the inherent rights of Anishinabek people and the foundational principles of their treaty relationship with the Crown. I stand with the Anishinabek Nation to call upon Ontario Premier Doug Ford and the Government of Ontario to immediately halt the advancement of Bill 5 and begin an engagement process of meaningful consultation, consent, and accommodation, grounded in the spirit and intent of the treaties in this era of reconciliation with First Nations.
