Meanwhile in Canada

When I said everyone has a say I meant everyone that can vote in the Alberta Referendum can vote

Yes to staying
or
Yes to furthering the process for an independent Alberta.

A one and done vote this Fall that would likely end up as a remain vote given current polling would be the best for all, including the indigenous nations.

The possibility that a sovereign Alberta might extend Indigenous rights, restructure treaty relationships on more generous terms, or build a partnership that improves on the existing federal arrangement is not out of the question.

Anything’s a possibility but what’s more likely? Would it complicate matters in negotiations since some nations cross over provincial borders, and this hasn’t been done before. What are the Indigenous nations that cross either side of Alberta saying?

Looks to me like they’re quite opposed to it. So who is it who believes it’ll be good for them without their support or permission? Or was that your personal opinion, WhyCzar?

Given the racist rhetoric I have seen when First Nations bring up the treaties, I would have my doubts on that count.

ANd the process it self is likely to make people question if this is the right time to invest in AB, not knowing what will happen.

An Independent AB is a non-viable nation.

Gen Z in Vancouver are pretty understandably peed off. I wonder if this is going to build momentum.

It’s claimed that the sites are being designed to cut their energy and water consumption by 90% but the cost of the projects have not been disclosed. Probably, a lot of $. Meanwhile, Vancouver has a housing crisis and a water crisis.

With the ignore function .. we certainly do mist material well ... thus the dew! It fell light on the desert, arid places and heavy elsewhere ... in some jungle spaces the trees rain ... natural condensers ... metaphor?

With tree reduction industry doth it function well ungoverned? The earth ends up Ba'aL'd ... forest dwellers cheated ... forced to evolve from mountain critter to humpbacks ... leave it to the leaders they say! Thus we follow blindly if not completely out of the situation ... slipping the surely bonds ... essentialism?

Until it is upheld by the Supremes, it could actually be overturned by another court. Yes, it's a good step forward but until the ruling is tested at the Supreme Court level, it's a precedent but one that another court could set aside. Expecting to see an appeal, if not in this case, then in another that cites it.
