Indigenous Peoples from so-called Canada and the Colombian Amazon are warning that the Canadian government and fossil fuel companies have not been respecting their own commitments to free, prior, and informed consent as a signatory of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

This week, Indigenous leaders and parliamentarians across Canada and Amazonian countries are mobilizing against the expansion of fossil fuels.

As Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chief Na'Moks says, we are joining together to fight for our land, air and water.

Decisions made by the Canadian government and fossil fuel companies – such as Gran Tierra, Copper Giant, and LNG Canada – are impacting not only First Nations in so-called Canada, but also Indigenous Peoples and local communities across the Amazon.

We are proud to stand with Indigenous leaders and allies in this unique opportunity to strengthen cooperation between lawmakers and Indigenous Peoples in the face of expanding extractive frontiers.

We are so grateful for this grassroots-led action that held this nuance and underscored the importance of working people building bridges and refusing to let government and industry pit us against one another.

At the same time, the B.C. government is still upholding volume base export, including exporting raw or rough-milled logs when we should be focused on manufacturing finished products in this province, which would create significantly more jobs.

...continuing to log old growth is NOT a winning long term economic strategy. Mills are continuing to shutter as big logging corporations like Canfor, owned by billionaire Jim Pattison, move to the Southern U.S. with the profit-margin shift, which is a reflection of their priority.
