As mentioned in the clip, we don't see the govt at a political level working with Indigenous nations in so-called QC - not even leftist separatist parties like QS.
I'd be totally up for supporting QS and separation if it included Indigenous sovereignty as well.

Bill 1 is a provincial constitution Quebec is looking to pass that focuses on French culture and states Quebec people form a nation.
However, the bill is being challenged due to the question of where Indigenous sovereignty fits into the new bill.

Doug Ford *falsely claiming* he has the power to audit his enemies when he doesn’t actually have that power is still a news story
But it’s kind of a different story than one uncritically accepting the premise that the Premier of Ontario can order the federal government to audit his enemies

It would have been nice if someone asked Doug Ford to explain how he plans to order these charity audits given charities are overseen federally by Canada Revenue Agency
Ford says he will audit ‘left-wing radical groups’ opposed to government legislation | Globalnews.ca
Ford's warning came after members of the tenant advocacy group ACORN interrupted the legislature to protest a controversial omnibus bill that shortens some eviction timelines.

Before I even clicked the video to see the context in which Carney responded “who cares” to a reporter asking when he last spoke with Trump, I knew it would a female reporter who asked the question.
Why? Because Carney is consistently more short with and rude to female reporters.
