Bill C-5: Are First Nation rights coming second?

July 25
12 mins

Episode Description

A northern pipeline, improvements to the rail line connecting Hudson Bay to the Prairies, and expedited critical mineral mining are all on the table with the newly passed One Canadian Economy Act and Ontario's Bill 5. Great for Canada perhaps with U.S. tariffs on the horizon, but there’s always one big looming question when it comes to new infrastructure.

This week on Truth and Politics, we ask that very question: how will this affect First Nations rights?

Host Creeson Agecoutay is joined by Niigaan Sinclair, columnist with the Winnipeg Free Press and Paskwâw Strategies CEO, Jennifer Laewetz.
