First Nations Youth Continue Fight over Carney’s Major Projects Agenda, Summit
The Together for Nature tour seeks solidarity against fast-tracked development, as hundreds of executives gather for a summit promoting Canada as open for business.
- On Tuesday, as politicians pitched major projects to global investors in Toronto, First Nations youth Jeronimo Kataquapit and his cousin Ramon launched an Ontario tour to oppose Prime Minister Mark Carney's development agenda.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney's tenure focuses on building major projects to strengthen Canada's economy against trade hostility from U.S. President Donald Trump, a strategy Indigenous leaders warn infringes upon their rights.
- Jeronimo and Ramon are visiting Ottawa, Toronto, Kitchener, and London to share their opposition, arguing that major projects threaten landscapes and waterways their ancestors have sustained for generations.
- Wet'suwet'en Hereditary Chief Na'Moks claimed the federal government is "blackmailing the public" by citing U.S. trade threats to justify projects without adequately consulting First Nations title-holders.
- Questioning whose "national interest" Carney serves, Katisha Paul, women's representative for the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, warned the government's "extraction pitch" ignores Indigenous consent and risks harming territories.
