Feasibility without First Nations isn't feasible
Opinion Earlier this month, the governments of Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan signed an agreement to explore the 'feasibility of a new west-east pipeline to bring western oil and gas to southern Ontario refineries and ports.' In a news release, Alberta premier Danielle Smith said: 'By advancing a Canadian energy corridor from Alberta to Ontario, we are securing long-term energy access for families and businesses, creating thousands of jobs, and opening new doors for trade and investment, while strengthening our position as a global energy leader.' There's only one problem, and it's a big one: Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew didn't sign it. So much for feasibility. Since the federal government's passing of the One Canadian Economy Act (Bill C-5), which promises to expedite approvals for projects deemed 'in the national interest,' provinces have been rushing to position themselves with Prime Minister Mark Carney's cabinet in the hopes their regional initiatives and economic dreams will come true. Ontario has even passed its own version of the federal bill, in what is surely a move to speed up approval for the Ring of Fire critical mineral project despite Indigenous opposition. The challenge for all of this — if you can call it a challenge — has been Canada's legal requirement under Section 35 of the Constitution to attain 'free, prior, and informed consent' when it comes to including and respecting Indigenous and treaty rights. Simply put, few provinces have partnership agreements with First Nations to build economic projects and, for those that do, these were made after lengthy and costly court battles, negotiations, and conflict. The federal bill, Ontario's bill and the 'feasibility' agreement between Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario has no First Nations, Métis or Inuit approval. In other words, they are not worth much and are simply a cause for conflict. To be honest, development occurred much quicker when Canada was genocidal. Until the past five decades, Canada never had a legal duty to consult Indigenous peoples on the land, water, the economy, or frankly anything really — so, it didn't. Since the country's founding in 1867 (and arguably before that), Canadian legislators took Indigenous and treaty land, moved people whenever and wherever, and made unilateral decisions on Indigenous lives and families all the time. When law got in the way, other laws were passed under the justification that Canada's national interests were paramount. This meant that swaths of Indian reserve lands were taken whenever a company, corporation, or the military wanted. Or, that masses of Indigenous leaders were imprisoned, Indigenous women were stripped of rights, and children were taken. All this happened blatantly. A few kilometres from where Winnipeggers sit was the St. Peter's Indian Band, whose lands in and around Selkirk were taken illegally in 1907 while the community was removed to what is now Peguis Indian Reserve. The tide started to change in the 1970s, when Canada's Supreme Court recognized that Indigenous title (and therefore law, government, and rights) existed and Canada had to start to act justly, humanely, and with consideration of their humanity. Things were supposed to be different — but old Canadian habits die hard. From the One Canadian Economy Act to the actions of provincial premiers, Canadian leaders continue to act as if Indigenous peoples are an afterthought, using age-old arguments that Canada's 'national interests' are paramount. That is, until Kinew — who has not shied away from interest in lucrative land and resource projects — refused to join his provincial counterparts. 'In other parts of the country with other levels of government, there's the commitment to maybe push things through with legislation first,' Kinew told media, explaining his decision. 'That puts other partners on the back foot.' Don't be confused. When Kinew says 'other partners,' he means First Nations, Inuit, and Métis rights holders. What the premier is doing isn't because he's First Nations, it's because he's trying to follow Canadian law. History has proven it's a tremendous waste of time, money, and energy to exclude Indigenous rights holders from conversations surrounding land, resources, and, frankly, the country. The first and most important 'project in the national interest' is to include Indigenous governments at the outset of every single decision this country makes. Anything else is illegal. An unprecedented step however requires an unprecedented idea. For Kinew, it's a Crown corporation (on par with entities such Manitoba Hydro and Manitoba Public Insurance) that can assemble Indigenous leadership to review and give approval of economic land and resource projects alongside provincial regulators. This 'Crown Indigenous corporation' would require buy-in and unity from Indigenous leadership — and seems to have almost immediately gained it. This week, the Southern Chiefs' Organization and the Manitoba Métis Federation came to an agreement to collectively 'advance economic reconciliation, protect Indigenous rights, and collaborate on major infrastructure and development projects across Manitoba.' That's no coincidence. That's First Nations and Métis holders on the front foot and reserving their spot at the table.

Manitoba businesses brace for Air Canada strike
Manitoba businesses could be dealt another blow if a looming strike by Air Canada flight attendants halts operations at the country's largest airline this weekend. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business said Friday that small businesses are 'deeply concerned' with the prospect of a shutdown at Air Canada, which was set to take effect at 1 a.m. ET on Saturday. 'They're already facing massive economic uncertainty, said Brianna Solberg, CFIB's provincial director for Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the North. 'One third of Canadian small firms depend on the summer season for their revenues. They can't afford to lose even a single day or take a hit to tourism.' Solberg said a strike could result in cancellations for hotels, restaurants and other tourism operators. 'And we've already had a couple of major things impact the tourism sector, one being the global trade uncertainty, and also the wildfires this year, which caused a lot of people to put a pause on making some tourism-related bookings,' she said. SUPPLIED / FREE PRESS FILES 'One third of Canadian small firms depend on the summer season for their revenues. They can't afford to lose even a single day or take a hit to tourism,' said Brianna Solberg, CFIB's provincial director for Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the North. 'One third of Canadian small firms depend on the summer season for their revenues. They can't afford to lose even a single day or take a hit to tourism,' said Brianna Solberg, CFIB's provincial director for Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the North. Earlier this year, the province urged people to avoid travelling to certain destinations in Manitoba to keep hotel rooms available for wildfire evacuees. 'It's been a difficult year for small business in Manitoba,' Solberg said. The looming strike that could see thousands of Air Canada flight attendants walk off the job is frustrating for all involved, said a labour negotiations expert — and that's exactly why strikes can be so effective. In essence, the power of a strike often stems from its ability to affect not just the employer, but also the public and allied stakeholders. Julia Smith, an associate professor of labour relations at the University of Manitoba, has studied flight attendant union activism extensively and said the widespread impact of a strike makes it a powerful bargaining tool. 'Workers want to work, they're frustrated that they're not getting paid, employers are frustrated because they're not making money, and whoever is accessing the service, whether it's a passenger or a customer, they're frustrated because they can't get what they need,' Smith said. Wednesdays What's next in arts, life and pop culture. A spokesperson for Travel Manitoba said Friday the Crown Corporation is watching developments closely, and with concern. 'Any disruptions to airline traffic negatively impact overall tourism numbers, further compounding a challenging summer season in our province, which has seen many tourism operators struggling because of the impact of wildfires,' the spokesperson said. 'We are hoping the parties are able to come to an equitable agreement as soon as possible.' If an agreement between Air Canada and the Canadian Union of Public Employees isn't reached before 1 a.m. ET Saturday, 10,000 flight attendants will strike, grounding all airline flights and affecting roughly 130,000 travellers per day. The strike's effects were already being felt Friday, with Air Canada announcing on X that it had cancelled 34 flights, affecting more than 7,000 passengers. This follows Thursday's disruption, when more than 300 flight attendants failed to report for work, cancelling 19 flights and impacting more than 3,000 passengers. Mark Nasr, Air Canada's chief operations officer, said Thursday that as many as 500 flights could be cancelled by the end of Friday. By midday Friday, 294 flights had been scrapped, affecting 55,726 passengers, and the union had rejected the company's request for binding arbitration. The dispute centres on wage increases and compensation for unpaid work hours. Flight attendants issued a 72-hour strike notice on Wednesday, prompting Air Canada to issue a lockout notice in response. The airline has offered to pay half of a flight attendant's hourly rate for pre-departure duties performed before a plane pushes back from the gate. CHRISTINNE MUSCHI / THE CANADIAN PRESS Mark Nasr, Air Canada's chief operations officer, said Thursday that as many as 500 flights could be cancelled by the end of Friday. Mark Nasr, Air Canada's chief operations officer, said Thursday that as many as 500 flights could be cancelled by the end of Friday. Smith called the lockout 'a bold move' and noted it's generally a sign that negotiations aren't going well. 'There are far more strikes than lockouts, and that's simply because employers don't want to do that, they want to get back to work,' Smith said. 'So it's usually a sign that things are quite hostile and toxic when you're seeing employers walk out.' Meanwhile, the Angus Reid Institute reports that Canadians are largely siding with the flight attendants in the dispute. The independent, self-commissioned poll found three-in-five (59 per cent) believe Air Canada should provide full hourly wages for all aspects of a flight attendant's work, while 41 per cent say keeping airfares low should be the priority. 'Notably, however, more frequent fliers — those who have taken to the skies three times or more in the last year — are evenly split on the matter, with half (51 per cent) siding with flight attendants demands, and the other half more focused on not seeing the increased costs of such compensation passed along to them,' the release said.

FuelPositive issues clarification regarding a statement made in its August 13, 2025 Press Release
WINNIPEG, MB, Aug. 15, 2025 /CNW/ - FuelPositive Corporation (the "Company") (TSXV: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) wishes to clarify a statement made in its August 13, 2025 Press Release. The Company reported: "…The first FP300 system has been delivered, completed its final certification, and is ready for activation. This milestone will trigger the demonstration phase and accelerate the ramp-up to manufacturing the larger FP1500 system, built to serve farms of approximately 10,000 acres…" The correct wording of this section of the Press Release should have read: "…The first FP300 system has been delivered and is prepared for the completion of its final certification and activation. This milestone will trigger the demonstration phase and accelerate the ramp-up to manufacturing the larger FP1500 system, built to serve farms of approximately 10,000 acres…" The Company apologizes for any confusion this may have caused. About FuelPositive: Building the Future of Farming Now FuelPositive is a Canadian clean-tech company transforming agriculture through decentralized, on-farm Green Ammonia production systems. By enabling farmers to generate their own green nitrogen fertilizer and carbon-free fuel on site, the Company is redefining the ammonia industry and putting control directly into the hands of those who feed the world. This model reduces reliance on volatile supply chains and unpredictable pricing, helping farmers secure their livelihoods and plan for the future. Each tonne of ammonia produced by a FuelPositive system prevents up to two tonnes of CO₂e emissions, offering both environmental and economic advantages. Designed for simplicity, dependability, and remote monitoring, the Company's containerized systems effortlessly integrate into farm operations. Made in Canada for Canadian conditions, they are engineered to be as straightforward to operate as they are impactful. The first FP300 demonstration system, installed on an 11,000-acre grain farm in Sperling, Manitoba, is designed to produce 100 metric tonnes of Green Ammonia each year. This unit serves as the foundation for the FP1500 commercial system, which can generate 500 metric tonnes annually for farms of approximately 10,000 acres. The systems are powered by sustainable electricity and produce carbon-free ammonia on demand, providing a decentralized, cost-effective alternative to fossil-fuel-based fertilizers and fuels. The delivery of the FP300 to Tracy and Curtis Hiebert's farm in Sperling, Manitoba, marked a milestone in sustainable agriculture. Once activated, the system will demonstrate how local production can strengthen farm economics, reduce environmental impact, and build resilience against climate change, market instability, and global supply disruptions. FuelPositive aims to position Canada as a global centre of excellence for decentralized Green Ammonia production and to establish a world-leading manufacturing hub.
