First Nations are mired in 'soft communism.' This leader has the fix
Stephen Buffalo is a very constructive guy. He's a man who seeks solutions, and he's open to Prime Minister Mark Carney's ambitious nation-building campaign. He also wants Carney and all Canadians to understand, though: Indigenous consent to these projects has a price tag. Article content 'Give us a chance to make our own wealth,' says Stephen, long-time advocate for First Nations' economic development and member of the Samson Cree Nation from Maskwacis, Alta. Article content Article content Article content 'To be part of the mainstream and part of the economy and at the end of the day, everyone benefits: the proponent benefits, the government benefits, and we benefit, you know, First Nations that are participating.' Article content Article content The 'new' Liberal government has pledged — in the recently tabled 'One Canadian Economy Act' — to speed up approvals for major energy and infrastructure projects that strengthen Canada's autonomy, resilience and security, have undeniable national benefits, are likely to be successfully executed, drive Canada's clean grown potential and reflect priorities of Indigenous leaders. Article content Carney assured that fast-tracking major projects won't shortcut meaningful consultation with Indigenous peoples whose Charter or treaty rights may be affected. A Major Projects Office, created to assist project proponents through the assessment and consultation process, will lean on an Indigenous advisory council for advice. Article content And in an effort to reinforce Indigenous voice in governance, Carney's cabinet includes three Indigenous ministers: Rebecca Chartrand, as minister of northern and Arctic affairs; Mandy Gull-Masty, as minister of Indigenous services; and Buckley Belanger, as secretary of state for rural development. Article content Article content I ask Stephen: Do Carney's announcements signal real change in the federal government's paternalistic relationship with Indigenous communities? After watching the undermining of Jody Wilson-Raybould's leadership by the previous Liberal administration, I'm wary. Article content Article content He grins, and answers: 'I'm trying to.' Article content This isn't the first time I've sat down with Stephen for a no-holds-barred conversation about how Indigenous leaders perceive what's going on in the world. As CEO of the Indian Resource Council, Stephen speaks on behalf of 130 First Nations across Canada that have oil and gas production on their land, or the potential for production. He also speaks forcefully — as a 53-year-old father who wants to see his kids have the opportunity to thrive in mainstream society. Article content When we met 18 months ago, he was lobbying to have the Indian Act repealed because it was getting in the way of First Nations' full participation in resource development. 'We cannot live in soft communism,' he chided, 'where bureaucrats tell us how to live, what to do.'

Ad campaign aims to bring Americans back to Canada; a Gen Z unemployment spike: CBC's Marketplace cheat sheet
Canadian tourism groups use friendly ads to woo back Americans 4 days ago Duration 2:07 With cross-border travel plummeting since the start of the U.S.-Canada trade war, Canadian tourism groups are trying to lure back American tourists with friendly ad campaigns that assure them they're still welcome despite tensions between the two countries. Miss something this week? Don't panic. CBC's Marketplace rounds up the consumer and health news you need. Want this in your inbox? Get the Marketplace newsletter every Friday. Fewer Americans are visiting Canada. Ad campaigns assure them they're welcome here Late last year, Dan Davis of Cleveland began planning a motorcycle trip with friends this summer that includes several days in Ontario. But those plans became a little uncertain after U.S. President Donald Trump took office in January and imposed tariffs on Canada, sparking a trade war. That, coupled with Trump's frequent threats to make Canada the 51st state, has sparked anger among many Canadians. Davis noted that, in February, Canadians booed the U.S. national anthem at several NHL games, and in March, the Canadian government ran a billboard campaign in a dozen U.S. states, including Ohio, declaring that Trump's "tariffs are a tax." "Those things just made us wonder, 'Wow, are we going to be welcome in Canada?'" said Davis, adding that the licence plates on the group's motorcycles reveal they're from Ohio — a state Trump won in the 2024 election. "On a motorcycle, you're a little more vulnerable," he said. "All it takes is one person to say, 'You know what, I'm going to show these guys a lesson,' whether it's vandalizing a bike or … throwing a beer can at you." Since Trump took office and Canada-U.S. relations have become strained, fewer Canadians are visiting the U.S., and fewer Americans are coming to Canada. The number of trips Americans took to Canada by car declined 10.7 per cent in April and 8.4 per cent in May compared with the same time last year. Air travel declined 5.5 per cent in April and 0.3 per cent in May. Some tourism associations worry a number of Americans may be staying away because they fear a chilly reception, so they've launched ad campaigns that assure their neighbours they'll be warmly welcomed. from CBC's Sophia Harris. Gen Z is facing the worst youth unemployment rate in decades. Here is how it's different Graduation cap in hand, Sarah Chung is posing for photos in school regalia ahead of her convocation ceremony. The campus atmosphere is joyful, but what comes next is sobering: This honours student is graduating into one of the worst youth labour markets seen in decades. "It's bleak," said the 23-year-old graduate of the University of Calgary's media and communications program. She hasn't been able to find a job in her field and said she intends to pursue a master's degree. "I believe that it's tough just because of everything that's happening with the economy, with our society and with politics," she said. "There's a whole [lot] of talk about 'there's a recession coming.' I'm not an economist, but I can also see it as well." Chung is part of a generation facing Canada's highest youth unemployment rate in about a quarter-century. Apart from the pandemic, Canadian graduates between the ages of 15 and 24 are facing the highest unemployment rate this country has seen since the mid-1990s, according to first-quarter data from Statistics Canada. At that time, Jean Chrétien was Canada's prime minister, Gen Z was but a twinkle in their parents' eyes and the global workforce had yet to be transformed by social media, gig work and artificial intelligence. Fast forward to 2025, and Canada's youngest workers are grappling with a perfect storm of economic conditions: an inflation crisis that came on the heels of a pandemic; a surge in population growth that has outpaced the number of available jobs; and now, a country teetering closer to recession as the U.S. trade war wreaks uncertainty on the economy. One expert says youth unemployment can be a "canary in the coal mine" that foreshadows broader troubles in the labour market. "It's kind of an early warning indicator," said Tricia Williams, director of research at Future Skills Centre, a Toronto Metropolitan University lab dedicated to studying the future of work. "It's not just about getting jobs and skills experience. It's about the larger structural supports and the environment that young people are coming into."

Federal government to put latest Canada Post offer up for union vote Federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu said Thursday she's putting Canada Post's latest offers to unionized postal workers up for a vote in the hope of breaking a long-standing impasse between the parties. She said in a social media post it's in the "public interest" to give members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) an opportunity to vote on the offers, which Canada Post said are its "final" proposals. Hajdu said the Canada Industrial Relations Board will be directed to conduct the vote "as soon as possible." CUPW, which represents about 55,000 mail workers, has pushed back on the idea of a membership vote on the latest offer. The union accused the employer of being "not serious about meaningful arbitration" in a bulletin sent to members on Tuesday. Hajdu asked the parties on June 4 to work out terms for binding arbitration — a process that would see a third party attempt to hash out a collective agreement. Read more. What else is going on?

Trump is ‘a showman before he's a statesman': former PM Joe Clark on annexation threats
Former Conservative Prime Minister Joe Clark discusses the current political landscape at a conference hosted by the University of Calgary in Calgary, Thursday, June 12, CANADIAN PRESS/Jeff McIntosh Amid the ongoing trade war between the U.S. and Canada, Canadians should bear in mind that U.S. President Donald Trump is 'a showman before he's a statesman,' former prime minister Joe Clark says. The leaders of the world's most advanced economies are descending on Kananaskis, Alta. for the G7 summit this week, with Trump expected to attend. Ahead of the gathering in Alberta, CTV Question Period host Vassy Kapelos asked Clark what's been going through his mind in recent months as Trump has levied sweeping tariffs and frequently threatened to annex Canada. 'He is a showman before he's a statesman, and we have to bear that in mind,' Clark said, in an interview airing Sunday. 'There's some degree to that in everyone in public office. You can't ignore your media when you're conducting public policy, now.' 'But his inclination as a quite unique kind of showman is to make his own impact rather than find agreement,' Clark added. 'That's very difficult to deal with, but it's not impossible.' Trump launched his trade war in February, implementing a slate of tariffs on Canadian goods and threatened to use 'economic force' to make Canada the 51st state. 'One of the questions I think all of us are asking regarding the United States is, who else is there around him who might be a restraining influence,' Clark said. While sources have told CTV News there has been substantial progress on a bilateral pact between Canada and the U.S., they also say Trump's own temperamental nature, plus recent domestic pressures — such as the protests in Los Angeles, Calif. and the president's feud with billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk — are making any certainty around a timeline even more unpredictable. Asked about his expectations for the summit and any potential bilateral confabs taking place between Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney, Clark said the latter's strength is finding the right time to make his case to the president. He also said it's 'always essential' for the leaders to have time away from the cameras for private discussions. 'One of the unusual factors of this summit with President Trump is that probably much more of the effective work will be done, in effect, off camera and away from some of the formal proceedings,' Clark said. 'And I know that the proceedings are not themselves broadcast live, but nonetheless, there is a performance aspect to his approach to public life that is now not as productive as a quieter approach might be.' Clark served as prime minister from 1979 to 1980, and Secretary of State for External Affairs, which is now Foreign Affairs, from 1984 to 1991 under former prime minister Brian Mulroney.
