In this podcast, we examine Bill C-5, the federal government's sweeping "One Canadian Economy Act" and its deep implications for Indigenous sovereignty, environmental protection, and democratic governance. While marketed as a nation-building tool to remove interprovincial trade barriers and fast-track major infrastructure projects, critics argue it represents a dangerous overreach that bypasses consultation and threatens the rights of First Nations and environmental safeguards.
We explore why the bill was split into two parts by the House Speaker, why both major parties support it, and why Indigenous leaders, youth activists, and environmental groups are uniting in opposition. From warnings of a “long hot summer” to calls for meaningful consultation and respect for free, prior, and informed consent, this podcast reveals the high stakes behind Bill C-5, including its ties to Arctic sovereignty, resource extraction, and Canada's constitutional commitments.
