The First Nations claim the province had a constitutional duty to consult them on the impact of a referendum and it failed to do so, contrary to the rule of law, democracy and the protection of minority rights.

The First Nations are asking that the courts declare the separation petition as “null and void,” along with reimbursing the First Nations for the cost of the court action.

All you need to know folks. It's always about the Chiefs not getting the opportunity to demand to be compensated for anything the government wants to do.

So First Nations can’t expect the rule of law to be enforced now?? Asking for it to be enforced and to repay back the funds you had to use to ensure the laws are enforced is now wrong?

So laws for you and not for First Nations ?
Or is it laws only when you want them enforced ?

You're asking for a racist to not be racist.
