Blocking energy projects and boycotting the fur industry is a mere extension of their attitudes once relayed in the Indian Act that the federal government knows what’s best, from protecting one’s culture, their property, or ensuring the prosperity of one’s people. Often, they leave us sorely disappointed, from siding with eco-colonizers to sharing condescending views of the First People’s – that is the antithesis of reconciliation.

We receive 30 to 40 calls a day from small businesses in Alberta, relaying their problems. Currently, we’re trying to find solutions. While the federal government implemented a 50 per cent increase to the federal carbon tax and okayed a wage increase for senators and MPs, many are unsure how long they can keep their homes, let alone the doors to their businesses open. This is not the right time to be increasing wages, given the massive uptick in EI Applications over the past 6-weeks. It comes across as tone-deaf.
