Dear Sir/Madame:
RE: Bill C-45
This message is to strongly express that I do not support Bill C-45.
This Conservative government is blatantly violating the rights of all Canadians and its Indigenous people to transparency on critical issues facing all people. Currently, there are numerous MP’s being investigated for the undemocratic and criminal practice of using robocalls to redirect voters, which calls into question the legitimacy of this government. I contend that these MP’s do not legally or constitutionally represent their constituents, and demand that the government cease passing any forms of legislation until the outcome of these investigations are determined.
Furthermore, Bill C-45 specifically affects Indigenous sovereignty and inherent rights to the land, and therefore must receive due consideration, consultation and consent from the First Nations leaders and communities in which it directly impacts. The Treaties that were signed between the Crown and Indigenous peoples are nation to nation covenants that cannot be arbitrarily changed through unilateral legislation. Bill C-45 alters sections of the Indian Act and disregards the Treaties without consultation and consent.
Upon review of Bill C-45, it is clear that this legislation benefits corporations involved in oil pipelines and nuclear energy, without due attention and consideration given to the impact that it will have on the land and environment. This government has proposed reconciliation with First Nations peoples, yet continues to enforce numerous policies such as Bill C-45 using paternalistic and neocolonial processes.
I demand that Bill C-45 be stopped until a democratic process of consultation and consent is duly followed by the various groups that it does impact.

Honor the Treaties and respect First Nations now. What is wrong with this picture? Does the gov't. not learn from it's mistakes?
ReplyDeleteI just sent it
ReplyDeleteTreaties are contracts between the Queen and the First Nations and cannot be arbitrarily altered by this government without consultation from the aforementioned parties. Idle No More rallies are the first nationwide efforts of Aboriginal people to stand up for the truth which cannot be denied...
ReplyDeleteJust sent it. Stand together!!!!

ReplyDeleteDo you suggest sending it to all senators? Maybe this is a silly question, but do certain senators represent certain regions of the country?
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
ReplyDeleteI would just like to enquire... these email addresses look like they belong to MPs - Members of Parliament, not senators. Current senators can be found here: http://www.parl.gc.ca/SenatorsMembers/Senate/SenatorsBiography/ISenator.asp?Language=E.
