A U.N. special rapporteur (a fancy word for reporter) today blasted Canada for, among other things failure to consult around pipeline development, “which is contributing to an atmosphere of contentiousness and mistrust that is conducive neither to beneficial economic development nor social peace.” He continues, “resource extraction should not occur on lands subject to aboriginal claims without adequate consultations with, and the free, prior and informed consent of, the indigenous peoples concerned.” Game over? Naw.
