Some First Nations are challenging Carney’s resource-extraction plans to strengthen Canadian economy from US threats.
Vancouver, Canada – Prime Minister Mark Carney’s efforts to unite Canadians around protecting the nation’s economy from the US are hitting roadblocks as he nears one year in power.
Indigenous peoples across Canada are increasingly divided over Carney’s aggressive push to expand resource extraction and projects on their ancestral lands.
Some experts question how his government can advance its agenda while respecting Indigenous rights enshrined in the country’s constitution.
March 14 will mark one year since Carney, former head of Canada’s central bank, was sworn into office.
After an election last year, his centrist Liberal party formed a minority government with the highest share of the popular vote in 40 years.
