    1. cashgrab is getting money for nothing. The Wet’suwet’en nation is negotiating compensation for the use of their lands.

    2. @A CB IT’S NOT THEIR LAND.

      Never has been. 98% of the pipeline is on land their tribe never even knew existed.

    3. Why Marty, did you get a Thesaurus of Conspiracy theories for the holidays, or twist your thinking all by yourself?

    4. @Mark Eves it means you will fail as you are insane..no court would let you make all that claim with out telling you to STFU….that is procedure..you need to back with Fact….jack…

  1. I just declared rights to 15’000 acres in northern ontario for me and my descendants for all time. Please don’t impede our rights or we will sabotage your society.

  2. So what I think he’s saying is he loves the convenience of oil and oil products but doesn’t want the pipe the safest way to move oil.

    1. the law has spoken against you anyways..silly goose
      go squawk..
      new lands coming…
      i wanna new duck

    2. He only wants the moneyjust like most first nations,let the others do the work we get the rewards

  3. The Indians get to examine the deal but Canadain taxpayers are not allowed to see how much they gave away. Or how much has alrerady been given to the other cheifs.

  4. Oh Boy I for one can’t wait to have Canada to turn into an nation within 1000 nations…………with all this Nation to Nation dialogue I wonder how many nations we will have in Canada? What could go wrong with this?

    1. @A Case back on your SHIP….you came on title ship..you leave on title ship..
      the title lands have pushed you out…you occupy as tenancy that you do not pay full cost…you hate the treaty entitlement ..
      thus you pay FULL cost..
      i still get treaty resources by treatment of the land by millennia of treatment elders before me..
      your tree climbers were Neanderthals in Africa or Europe…mine were farming and charting the stars and calendars for all times…

    2. @marty methuselah tell that to my first nation daughters and fiancee. And guess what. I’m STILL farming. Bet the closest you’ve been to a farm is KFC.

    3. @albertannationalist ju wish…..keep preaching that bad info
      i will make you CHOKE the way your daffy dilly minister looks now…
      welcome to Babylon..upstart…

    4. @marty methuselah Are you denying the proven fact that Indians weren’t put here by the Great Crow but rather migrated across a land bridge over the Bering Strait?

    1. Unless you pay more tax than the spending per capita which is 60k, it costs you NOTHING. You are probably being SUBSIDIZED, or basically a welfare recipient of the crown.

  5. So the elected chiefs are over ruled by the hereditary chiefs If this First Nation is undemocratic , why are we dealing with them at all ? Chief Snaggletooth can’t believe he’s pulled this off

    1. @motorhome mike ridicule is why you fail in court..
      this is why elder wins..every time…
      keep laughing…you are no threat to the proper court procedures by your own ignorance…

    2. @marty methuselah anarchists always lose ….that’s you Marty Your posts are sad but amusing

  6. So what about the 8 hereditary chiefs who want the pipeline? How come the minority overrule the majority now?

    1. Daewoo Kang because look at the minority government we have right now lmao. This country is a joke

  7. Listening to about 5 mins of this left me thinking these guys would take all day to make a coffee order .. Yeesh.
    Think I’ll just read about it later….

  8. This is the guy that represents the hereditary Christ? He uses more uh and Ums then Justin trudumb.
