Nishnawbe Aski Nation chiefs voted unanimously to demand that Canada and Ontario meet with them over the law-defying Bill C-5 and Bill 5. But it's clear they see this as existential. If it's not met at the table, it will be met in the courts and on the land. ricochet.media/indigenous/l...

This is a no-brainer, we need to start fairly taxing the rich, and we need to crack down on the rich who are abusing the system at the expense of our country.

When Canada delivers its budget Tuesday, will it "get out of the way" on the proposed Ring of Fire environmental assessment, as Ontario Premier Doug Ford requested last week? Canada's not telling. I've been requesting since Oct. 29, daily contact with the Privy Council office, but still no answer.
