Carney Fast Track VS Indigenous Rights and Treatys

from Policy and Rights · host Michael Clogs

British Columbia with David eby, trying to get a fast track of legislation through so that major projects, major infrastructure projects, can be, can be pushed through the process faster with with little discussion, and with, shall we say, little fewer studies, and in looking at What the environmental impacts are actually going to be, of course, the the claim by the government that that isn't necessarily true, but whenever we try to fast track a infrastructure project that we know that something is going to actually have to suffer. Case in point, one of the one of the big, big things in Richmond BC is the Massey tunnel. And of course, there's talk about, should we put another tunnel in, or should we put a bridge in? And one of the first things that popped up is the marine life and the shadow that the bridge would cause on the marine life increasing because of temperature changes, because of the shadow, Would it increase algae? How would it affect other marine life in that particular area, there's a lot of a lot of if bins, least of the if bins are the ferries that we actually have to pass under the bridge in order to hit a docking area. So the same thing is also going to hold true with Mark Carney, when he is also after talking to the the the premiers across the country that he is also trying to put through a fast track bill that would do this across the country. It was also fast track things like mining projects, pipelines, that while commerce is an important thing for Canada, it cannot be the absolute number one thing. Let's make a whole bunch of a big pile of money at the same time, we leave behind areas in our country that are ripped apart because of trying to wreak trying to claim the resources that are within, or trying to get them to to to the global market. And this is the concern of the indigenous people, because stewardship and the land are what is most important to the indigenous people. There has been, every time I say that, there has been criticism from other people saying, well, we don't, we don't operate just on environments and ecosystems that we have to operate on money. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.
