A sustainable future goes hand in hand with a just future. Canada prides itself on being a just nation, that honours the rule of law and opportunity for all. Yet, Canada is failing to meet its own legal responsibilities to Indigenous Peoples. In reality, most Indigenous Peoples face racism and stark systemic barriers daily. It lives within our institutions, our police forces and our population. But it is within our power to change this.

It is the responsibility of our Federal Government to rebuild its relationship with Indigenous peoples, signaling to businesses, governments and Canadians alike that we will no longer tolerate racism in this country, in any form. Canada is greatly impoverished by its continued oppression and subjugation of Indigenous Peoples. A new relationship will invigorate us all.
