“Andy Burnham’s new defence secretary is now responsible for the military treaty with a country he believes exhibits ‘rogue state behaviour’”

[..]

“Late last July, as a famine unfolded in Gaza and Israeli settler attacks intensified in the West Bank, Wes Streeting texted a friend shortly before midnight.

“‘Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes,’ the then health secretary told Peter Mandelson over WhatsApp”

The irony of a First Nation claiming a treaty infringes on their territory after another usurps private property elsewhere.

This article (https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/carney-smith-oil-pipeline-9.6985035) is disturbing for all the predictable reasons, but I am going to focus my particular point of annoyance on the 2nd to last sentence in the very last paragraph.

""Haida nation will never stand for it," [Elizabeth May] said referring to coastal Indigenous people in the region.”

I don't know if it's ignorance, laziness, or deadline writing… but the general passivity that the CBC reporter, JP Tasker, uses is mildly infuriating.

1) Both words in ”Haida Nation" should be capitalized. That is the name of the Nation. (https://www.haidanation.ca)... not doing so signals the beginning of the dismissive tone.

2) “coastal Indigenous people" is another diminishing of the Haida Nation. It is not just a non-distinct group of ‘Indigenous people”, it is a nation occupying a very specific, large, and consequential group of islands, collectively known as Haida Gwaii (previously Queen Charlotte Islands), on the Northwest Coast of BC in the direct path of any and all tankers. Haida Gwaii's land mass is about 10,000sqkm or about 1/3rd of the size of Vancouver Island.

3) The stated purpose of the Council of the Haida Nation is: “To steward the lands and waters of the Haida Territories on behalf of the Haida Nation”. NOTE: *lands and waters*.

4) finally, by using this dismissive and passive tone, the reporter is also diminishing May's point when, in fact, it could very well be the very point that scuttles the entire notion of a northern BC pipeline.

Canada, under Trudeau, recognized Aboriginal title over all of Haida Gwaii (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/haida-gwaii-aboriginal-title-federal-agreement-1.7461151). You think Trudeau did this to help cement the tanker ban? I sure think so.

Will the Haida Nation stand idly by while Carney and Smith devise a plan to run oil tankers right through their titled waters? Nope. Not without a BIG fight.

Anyway, I hate it when journalists do this kind of soft-racism.

*The #Saugeen #FirstPeoples won their lawsuit 👏 Appeals court dismissed #Ontario government's appeal. Justice was finally served.*

Ontario's top court has upheld a lower court's ruling that a strip of #SaubleBeach, a popular Ontario tourist spot, has always belonged to a local #FirstNation.

In a 121-page decision on Monday, the Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed appeals brought by the Municipality of South #BrucePeninsula, the Ontario government, and several local families to the April 2023 ruling by Superior Court Justice Susan Vella.

"Justice was done today," said Saugeen First Nation Chief Conrad Ritchie in a statement, calling it a "powerful moment" for the Saugeen community.

In her 2023 decision, Vella ruled that "Chi-Cmiinh," a roughly two-kilometre strip of beach at the northern end of Saugeen Reserve No. 29, had always belonged to Chippewas of Saugeen First Nation, and that the federal government breached its treaty rights.

The Crown, Vella wrote, failed to protect and preserve the #treaty it signed in 1854, Treaty 72, in which the First Nation and neighbouring #Chippewas of Nawash surrendered Saugeen Peninsula, excluding five #Indigenous reserve territories. One would become #ReserveNo29.

💚 Following the devastatingly divisive Voice to Parliament last October, so-called Australians (Yes and Sovereign No/Abstaining voters alike) NEED to be advocating for Treaty and Truth Telling NOW.

🔗 https://events.humanitix.com/truth-telling-and-treaty-forum

Event brief: "A Truth Telling & Treaty forum In conversation with Senator Lidia Thorpe, Uncle Gary Foley, Uncle Jim Everett and others.

This event aims to provide an opportunity to hear from First Nations Elders and leaders about where to go from here on First Nations Justice.

We will be discussing the importance of Truth Telling as the first step – looking at current developments, and what a national Truth Telling process would contribute. We will also discuss what genuine, inclusive Treaty processes would look like, from the grassroots to National & International levels.

Treaty must be for the people, by the people. It has to come from the ground up, and each of us have a role to play in making it happen."
