Environmental NGOs misrepresent and abuse Indigenous communities to interfere in resource development
These organizations — which are almost all foreign entities with Canadian branches — hire activists and promote misleading commentary about Canada’s oil and gas sector and First Nations’ interest in development. These organizations, which include the Sierra Club, Stand Earth, World Wildlife Federation and Tides Foundation, have garnered a great deal of sympathetic attention from the national and international media.
These campaigns, which extend to our mining, fishing and forestry sectors, have undermined the livelihoods of thousands of everyday Canadians. Locally, the turmoil caused by these interventions has ripped apart relationships within and between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities. When the projects are halted, these intruders leave the north and return to their comfortable lives in the southern cities, leaving Indigenous communities to deal with the lasting damage.
The activists flash their video cameras and smartphones. They make documentaries about communities fighting amongst themselves and with the RCMP, industry and government. Most Canadians do not realize that these activists, often hired by foreign interest groups, bring shame to our culture and communities.
I say this to these organizations and activists: the gig is up. While you pay small sums to our youth to join protests, most of our people continue to suffer economically and socially. Indigenous leaders are now questioning these ecological protesters and they will be calling you out more often.
