Political

• Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has both made strong commitments to take action on climate change, yet still continues to push for the expansion of the country’s dirty tarsands industry, and for pipelines like Keystone XL, Enbridge Line 5, and the Trans Mountain Expansion. In 2018 when the project was facing difficulties attracting outside investors, Trudeau took the exceptional step of outright acquiring the Trans Mountain pipeline from Kinder Morgan, bolstering both his and Canada’s direct support for TMX, and more broadly the country’s tarsands industry.
• Unlike in the United States, the Indigenous peoples of Canada — First Nations — have been afforded some greater rights under the country’s constitution and its interpretation by its Supreme Court, relative to the U.S., in the form of relatively more meaningful consultation with the government over how their lands may be accessed or utilized, compared to how Native American Tribal Nations are consulted by the U.S. government. The concept of “Aboriginal Title” to lands in so-called Canada has been established by Supreme Court precedents after various First Nations filed suit seeking true free, prior, and informed consent for development projects like pipelines.
