In my spare time I volunteer on reserves spanning back and forth between Thunder bay, across to Timmins and down to Sudbury/North Bay and everywhere in between if I can. I have been to the reserves and seen their stature. These are their homes, some have been their homes for hundreds of if not thousands of years.
You havent been around the government long enough it looks like to know what happens when you try to sacrafice the few.. especially Indigenous rights -- The Oka crisis of the 90s put that plan on indefinite hold. 30 years later, the machinery still sits there waiting to be used. A police officer died and much of Quebec got shutdown as Indigenous groups occupied bridges and roadways preventing traffic and economic movement. Not only that, Indigenous groups from the US and other parts of Canada rushed to Quebec to participate in these protests of building on Indigenous land without consulting them -- or in this case, arbitrarily deciding to build on the land.
Quebec residents began attacking protestors and in turn they attacked them. (no one knows who shot first etc etc, it could of been other way around but it happened)
In the end, the canadian government sent in tanks and helicopters to capture about 10 women, 16 children and 5 men who had stayed behind before they put up a barricade around the reserve of Oka.
The fishing "wars" of muskoka left several boats burned, businesses dystroyed and nets shredded because the government told Canadians that they couldnt fish no more to preserve the stock levels but allowed Indigenous groups to in the area as that was all they had.
A compromise was made between the indigenous and canadians outside of government when a young boy died to both be wardens of the water and fish levels have thrived since.
In newfoundland we could of had the most sophisticated aerial base in the world used by Nato to practise low flight maneuvers but we put it nearby a reserve where low ground sonic booms were killing animals and making stir crazy people alike. Women and children camped out on the tarmac to prevent flights. The plan didnt go (goosebay aerial base) because foreign governments such as france and britain were not okay with this.
This is what Canadian history has told us. This isn't your right to dystroy someone elses home or to poison their land - Their land appointed/treaty'd to them by the federal government. If you EVER want this project off the ground, that mentality is what grounded the project
Should brush up on Canadian History -- it has rarely favoured the business.
