Trudeau and his Liberal government have long claimed that their policies are in the interest of Indigenous peoples across Canada, however not everybody agrees, including those Indigenous persons themselves. In an op-ed for the National Post published on Monday, Indigenous entrepreneur and former Lax Kw’Alaams Band councillor Chris Sankey slammed Trudeau and announced that he would be supporting the Conservative Party in the next election. Sankey began by condemning the Liberals' "troubling policies," adding that he felt "infuriated" and "genuinely worried" for his children's future. I would like to dispel the divisive and ignorant presumption that conservatives are against Indigenous values because they support pipelines. In fact, support for responsible resource development is widely held across Indigenous communities.
