Indigenous Peoples have been stewards of the lands and waters in Canada since time immemorial. Today, they are helping to shape Canada’s future.

This National Indigenous History Month, we honour the histories, cultures, languages, and enduring contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis across Canada. Together, we can lay a stronger foundation on which to build a better future for all.

The best option was left out.

@nationalpost no pork rinds or hotdogs? or wait, it’s the PM’s flight. god forbid he eat something good before going into big meetings on our behalf

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

Will have to add this to my CV.

I’m now “the Voice of Globalist Oppression”👌😆

This from the loony Alberta separatist leader who says I support national unity because I want “young Albertans being drafted to die in the Ukraine war.”

Note to frustrated federalists thinking of voting for separation just “to send Ottawa a message.” In doing so, you will be empowering kooks like Rath, helping to mainstream them and their nutty conspiracy theories.

[Jed Johns @jedjohns]

Don’t forget in 1995 the Crees in Quebec voted in their own referendum, with 96.3% voting to stay within Canada. (Of eligible voters, 77% participated in the Cree referendum)

https://t.co/p4QejIHhlk If Canada is divisible, then so is Alberta.

[Jed Johns @jedjohns]

@repatriot_ab @CoryBMorgan “could”, “almost”, “could”

wow, why not just keep the sure thing we have in the 🇨🇦 passport now and forget separating because of tantrums over equalization and “Ottawa”

[Jed Johns @jedjohns]

why are alberta separatists denying reality? if you vote to leave you don’t get to keep all the benefits of being a canadian

[Martyupnorth®- Unacceptable Fact Checker @Martyupnorth]

It can't. Anyone born in Canada will always retain their Canadian citizenship.

[Jed Johns @jedjohns]

Section 35 was agreed to by Alberta in the Constitution Act, 1982. Protecting Aboriginal & Treaty Rights, these are the rules established and Wab is just telling it like it is.

[David Knight Legg @KnightLegg]

Wab may love Canada. But this wasn’t about Canada.

This was about Wab promoting himself with a carefully scripted legal attempt to interpret indigenous “consultation” as a de facto veto power over Alberta’s referendum laws.

Anyone asking why a third of Canada’s most successful economy wants to leave Canada only needs to watch this smirky legal freelancing by a couple debt-addicted NDP premiers who have lost control of simple things like property rights in BC.

Direct democracy is less scary to most Albertans than the NDP “interpreting” our laws.

[Jed Johns @jedjohns]

@visitorsdigest that’s the thing about uncertainty, you don’t live in the heads of those making those decisions (thankfully)

[Jed Johns @jedjohns]

please stop including Forever Canadian signers like me in the 700k, we wanted this silly talk to end and leave this business-killing uncertainty behind

[Blaine Badiuk @BlaineBadiuk]

Not sorry @WabKinew, but in Alberta we believe in democracy and when 700,000 Albertans ask for a referendum, you don't ignore that.

Can I vote for Wab Kinew? #frustratedalbertan

[APTN News @APTNNews]

On the topic of Alberta separatism, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says her province will turn to the court for clarity on what the duty to consult means.

After her remarks, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew gave her his definition.

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

PM Carney: "Is it helpful to ask these fundamental questions? No, it's not helpful. Of course it's not. Is it the democratic will of Albertans? Did they vote for this in the last provincial election? No, they didn't. It wasn't on the ballot paper, it wasn't in the mandates or platforms of the governing party and the official opposition."

[Wab Kinew @WabKinew]

Theo faced bullying for his long hair so I invited him to my office and told him he could be Premier.

It was an honour to meet him and his family and give them challenge coins.

He’s a smart, resilient kid. We are proud of him and all of our kids in Manitoba. 🦬

[Matthew Scace @mattscace67]

As Alberta prepares for the 2027 provincial election, the electoral map’s scheduled redrawing has led to accusations of partisan gerrymandering.

Here's why, feat. pretty maps by the @globeandmail's data team. Words by me #ableg

[David McLaughlin @DavidMcLA]

The Court concluded this because it considered the Chief Electoral Officer an extension of the Crown and because it considered the referendum results binding upon the government to implement which -if a yes vote-would impact Treaty rights.

[Anna Murphy @TheAnnaMurphy]

The duty to consult Indigenous Peoples is not a box-checking exercise.

It is a constitutional obligation rooted in the honour of the Crown, in the treaties that underpin this country, and in the fundamental recognition that First Nations are sovereign rights holders.

Any leader willing to disregard the duty to consult in pursuit of separatist politics is not defending Alberta, they are undermining the rule of law, dishonouring treaty relationships, weakening reconciliation, and attacking the very foundations upon which Canada was built.

[Jed Johns @jedjohns]

if we had that kind of money we would put it towards the billions in infrastructure debt on First Nations, you know much-needed clean water, paved roads and housing. stop making stuff up

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

Jeff Rath: "I'm sure that the First Nations, because they're being funded by the Tides Foundation and funded by George Soros and funded by foreign money, will fight every single step of the way because they have billionaires backing them."
