The Ottawa-Alberta MOU is nothing more than a pipedream - Coastal First Nations

"We have zero interest in co-ownership or economic benefits of a project that has the potential to destroy our way of life and everything we have built on the coast," says Heiltsuk Nation elected Chief Marilyn Slett
Never Going To Happen: Coastal First Nations Say MOU Does Nothing to Improve Chances of a North Coast Pipeline Nations will never allow oil tankers in their waters; one spill could destroy their way of life. COAST SALISH TERRITORY, VANCOUVER, B.C. (Nov. 27, 2025) – Marilyn Slett, President of the Coastal First Nations – Great Bear Initiative and elected Chief of the Heiltsuk Nation, issued the following statement in reaction to the announcement today of an MOU between the Alberta and federal governments, prioritizing a North Coast pipeline: “Today’s MOU does nothing to increase the chances of a pipeline project to the northwest coast ever becoming a reality. Coastal First Nations, along with the province of BC, will never allow our coast to be put at risk of a catastrophic oil spill. “We have made repeated calls to the federal government to uphold Bill C-48, the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act, as it is foundational to the vibrant and growing conservation economy we have built on the North Coast. Coastal First Nations, along with the province of BC, have made it clear through our joint declaration that the tanker ban is not up for negotiation. We will never tolerate any exemptions or carveouts, period. “There is no technology that can clean up an oil spill at sea or in a salmon river, and there is nothing in this MOU that overrides our inherent constitutional authority and stewardship responsibilities as the Rights and Title Holders of the Central and North Coast and Haida Gwaii. “We have zero interest in co-ownership or economic benefits of a project that has the potential to destroy our way of life and everything we have built on the coast. “We have a strong track record of world-leading initiatives that are protecting our environment, creating permanent jobs, delivering billions of dollars to BC’s GDP, and building a sustainable, diverse economy that supports the livelihoods of thousands of residents on the North Coast. “These are economically challenging t…

If the Liberals ram a pipeline through in BC they will never fucking win another coastal community again.

I will personally end my membership, join the Greens if they do.

This is the ultimate betrayal if they do this to BC.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I hope Albertans will remember that trans kids and teens are living breathing humans who just want to be themselves, without fear of hate and discrimination. Demonizing kids merely to score political points in some weird culture war is craven and cruel.

Proud to say that we are continuing our work towards disability justice by removing the spousal cap for couples where both partners are on PWD. As of December 1st, couples will receive the same disability benefit as two single individuals. This change will benefit thousands of households across BC.
Barriers removed for couples in B.C. receiving disability assistance
Starting Dec. 1, 2025, couples where both members receive disability assistance will receive the same support allowance as they would if they were two single people.

The problem with having rather openly purged DOJ of all but the most shameless stooges and loyalists is precisely this: Even once the Epstein files are released, why would anyone believe that release is complete and undoctored?

At this stage there’s literally no reason to believe the admin, even if it releases more than you’d expect, are being forthcoming. It’s the opposite of conspiracy theory to look at the proudly lawless pattern of deception and raw power that this trump admin has engaged in then to conclude they’d…

Withholding any person's medical treatment is a crime.

Medical decisions should only involve the patient, their family & their healthcare team. Not a church & certainly NEVER a politician!

Get religion out of healthcare decisions!

I have all kinds of thoughts here. But this is also a marker of public belief in conspiracy theories and rejection of science and we should all be very concerned.

In 1998, Canada earned its elimination status after a successful, years-long campaign to popularize the measles vaccine. But this past year, the country has seen a dramatic rise in the disease with 5,139 cases.
