This directly collides with Mi’kmaq rights. Nova Scotia was never ceded; the Peace and Friendship Treaties protected Mi’kmaq use of the land and waters, and these rights are constitutionally affirmed in section 35 of the 1982 Constitution Act. By limiting access or allowing removals without notice, the Province risks infringing on hunting, fishing, gathering, and travel rights.
Because the duty to consult and accommodate applies whenever these rights may be affected, moving ahead unilaterally almost guarantees legal challenges. In short, the Province does not have unfettered say over Crown lands; Mi’kmaq access is protected, and failure to respect that will end up in litigation.
Dear @YouTube Team,
I respectfully request that you reconsider reinstating @stevewilldoit channel. His positive contributions to his audience, including philanthropy and entertainment, have had a meaningful impact. Given that he has served his penalty, I believe his return would be a valuable addition to the platform.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
