Canada's PM wants to fast-track 'nation building' – but can he convince indigenous First Nations?

Prime Minister Mark Carney's push to fast-track infrastructure projects in Canada, including in mineral-rich areas like the Ring of Fire, is facing resistance from indigenous First Nations. Indigenous leaders like Jeronimo Kataquapit argue that laws like the One Canadian Economy Act could infringe on their rights to land and resources without proper consent. Despite government promises of consultations with indigenous communities, concerns remain about shortcuts in environmental processes and the need for prior and informed consent under the country's constitution.
