The Andrew Lawton Show: Negotiating for Nothing

Justin Trudeau's government has reached a deal with the hereditary chiefs who oppose the Coastal GasLink pipeline – except the deal has nothing to do with the pipeline, and the chiefs haven't even agreed to it yet. This has been nothing but a stalling tactic by the protesters, True North's Andrew Lawton says.

Also on the show: Brampton wants an Indigenous land acknowledgement at every city-owned facility, and Concordia University dietary researcher Prof. Sylvia Santosa joins to discuss why we should view obesity as a disease and not a choice.

I am a veteran of the Canadian Forces. Just glad to have people like Andrew Lawton speaking the truth. Cheers. Let's get that kid out.

You cannot negotiate with activists, you give an inch they take a mile and then move the goalposts. Nothing is ever enough.

Do you all remember the protest at the liberal event where Justin thanked the protesters for there donation to the Liberal Party That right there say's every thing about how J.T feels about the "plight" of the first nations people.

TRUDEAU NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN. WE NEED REAL LEADERSHIP, WITH A REAL MOTIVATION TO GET CANADA BACK ON TRACK. ONE WHO IS FOR CANADA AND FOR CANADIANS.

[lilymartens]

People are paramount, not environment. Environment is NOT abused in Canada

I think all the people who love doing land acknowlegements should donate their land to the nearest tribe.

The western seperatist movement should be pushing for giving native canadians a more inclusive deal.

Only agreements being made are Cash under the Table Agreements

Up above, in R&R heaven, Gord Downie is looking down, shaking his head and wondering how he could be so wrong depending on Trudeau to look after indigenous problems !

Trudeau reminds me of a really bad basketball player who is put into the game because his Daddy has connections with the coach. He is bad for the game and the team keeps losing because of him. On the sideline is the player that will turn it all around in Canadians favour. Trudeau needs to leave the game and Guess who do you think needs to manage Canada. Hint: ?

[LandonRoy-cvrt]

Keep up the good work exposing this corrupt piece of shit

These protesters are not even Canadian Indians !

[davidweum]

Last quarter the Canadian economy "grew" at .3%. First quarter will be near negative growth. Definitely a recession in second quarter.
No business activity. No investment. Canadian gov't is incompetent. Closed for business. Bad country for business. No foreign investment because Canada is too risky.

[Chris-ebcn]

Time to scrap the Treaties, or this will go on till the end of time.

[dominicdurzo]

what derailed five trains in the last month the media will not talk about?

[scramblegam]

This Constitutional reality has not changed.

[swana]

The Native issue is one that is self perpetuating, it has gotten worse and is getting bigger. So when do we get to the point that never ending handouts and capitulation is perceived as some sort of solution? We are all in this thing together, something has to give!
