Good to see the aboriginal communities are starting to realize that Big
Green is their enemy, not their friend. Trudope spews all the right
cliche progressy talking points, such as aboriginal consultation, then
he flips the aboriginals the bird and says none of that consultation
bullshit now, we already know what's best for you... now let's get a
insincere selfie for my image management team.
From the "stories you will never hear on CBC or liberal media" department.

Most aboriginal communities in northern British Columbia impacted by the
Northern Gateway pipeline supported the $7.9 billion project and are
angry Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rejected it, say representatives of
three of the bands.
Elmer Ghostkeeper of the Buffalo Lake Metis Settlement, Chief Elmer
Derrick of the Gitxsan Nation, and Dale Swampy of the Samson Cree Nation
said on the sidelines of a private meeting in Calgary on Friday with
oilpatch leaders they are disappointed in the “political decision,”
which they say was made without their input.
They are now looking for ways to generate new energy development.
Ghostkeeper said more than 30 of the 42 bands on the Alberta-to-West
Coast pipeline’s right-of-way were looking forward to sharing in the
construction and long-term benefits.
