As if the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was just expensive PR.

Wasn't there already a pilot program?
AKA Alternative Methods of Dealing with the Indian Problem.
Should spend more, 220m seems a bit low.
It's been the same shit since... ever. Oka, Ipperwash, Gustafsen Lake, etc. It's almost as if all the talk of reconciliation was just for good public relations.
These sort of actions are necessary when so much of the Caribou's natural habitat is inaccessible or poor quality due to human activity.
It's where the cool people can hang out and look cool.
Actually though it's probably something along the lines of plans changing last minute but they already built the steps and framed the door so they just left them there.
The most logical and therefore most unlikely explanation.
Trevor Ford, telling the three [park commissioners] they would not take part in the transition “as you have chosen not to support the Mayor on the folding in of the Park Board.”
Why does this sound so fascist?
Why did you have to look? Now the magic that keeps it all together has been dispelled. :(
Unfortunately, many media outlets do not understand the differences and serve only to further confuse their viewers on the topic. The only source I would trust regarding any indigenous topics is APTN. The linked video briefly describes the differences between elected and hereditary chiefs in Wet'suwet'en law, though this may be different with other tribal law systems.
I will only add that the elected chiefs, representing their respective reserves, have a conflict of interest since the funding they rely on to provide for their people comes from the government, which is obviously not on their side. For them, it was either endorse the pipeline or lose funding from the government, which would probably mean losing their land.
Also, this video talks about RCMP disinformation tactics using the media to misrepresent the people who's land is being taken away as criminals.
