I have been involved in these issues now for pretty much 43 years, and I have never in all of that time seen greater solidarity between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples vis-à-vis all of these issues: heavy oil pipelines, tanker traffic, oil spills, protecting the environment, global warming, and climate change. As well, there is an emerging public concern—when we witness the impacts and the irrefutable evidence of climate change with respect to wildfires, flooding events, and so on and so forth—that we need to elect governments that are going to begin to act and respond to these issues, and again it goes to the question of consultation.
