A wiser person than myself once told me, if you want to see your future take a look at your friends. I think Canada needs new friends.

Why are Canadian moose declining? Interviews with Indigenous communities offer new clues As one of the most iconic creatures in their ecosystems, moose have lumbered their way into the fabric of Canadian culture in Ontario. Recreational hunting, Indigenous well-being and the region’s ecos...

From my experience in Alberta it's definitely disease, cars, encroachment and climate that are the problem. If we backed off on a few of these the Moose might have a fighting chance against the climate change

Just curious. If you are RR Mètis what do you get out of this? Last time your ancestors made a deal like this scrip was on the table. Pretty sure no one is getting land.

'The foundation of the future': MMF signs 1st modern MΓ©tis treaty with federal government | CBC News The federal government signedΒ its first-ever modern treaty with a MΓ©tis government during a ceremony with the Manitoba MΓ©tis Federation in Winnipeg on Saturday, in what leaders hailed as a pivotal moment for Canada and theΒ MΓ©tisΒ people.

I dont see any land in this. Just more money and access to programs / services. Not sure how you can be a Nation or government without a distinct land base.

As an adoptee who met his birth parents as an adult it's an experience hard to put into words.

As a younger man I enjoyed the life story of Jerry Potts. A flawed man caught between two worlds. Once hailed as a symbol of western mètis resilience, now confined to the dustbin of shifting identity polotics.
