Episode 36 - Disarming Bill C-5/5: Indigenous Defence of Land & Democracy Part 1 of a 4 part series WHAT Part one of a four part series on Federal Bill C-5 and Ontario Bill 5 are moving fast — and their implications are profound. These bills contain what legal experts call "Henry the VIII clauses": sweeping powers that allow Cabinet to designate projects of "national interest" (PONIs) that are exempt from democratic process: free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC), environmental assessments and protections, labour protections, and more — all behind closed doors. Put plainly: these laws legalize fascist behaviour. Community and solidarity is needed now more than ever.
