    A new Angus Reid Institute poll suggests a majority of Canadians believe First Nations should be meaningfully consulted on projects deemed in the national interest, but they’re split on who should hold the deciding power.

    Forty per cent of Canadians say the government and companies should retain final say, while 25 per cent say First Nations should have a veto if projects infringe on their lands.

    I feel like this is an indication that 40% of Canadians haven’t really thought this through.

    I had never really heard of Wab until a year ago. (Rob Canoe??) We need more people like him.
