Why do we pretend that sovereign peoples of Whitefish didn’t not know the history of Rupert’s Land and the realities of Dominion of Canada replacing the arrangement of Hudson Bay Company. After 1863, under new management of “the International Financial Society did shipments and volume of alcohol increase to induce Chiefs to sign Treaty or was it a different strategy? I am sure the sovereign citizen of Whitefish knew the undertaking on “Indian Land on the Great Manitoulin Island”in the Dominion of Canada. We know Henry Bird Steinhauer (Ojibwa -Bird Clan) maintained contact with clan members and family with visits. So, is the current consultation process false reconciliation until Rupert’s Land is properly restored? #landback #truthandreconciliation

This case in the USA triggered me to reflect on the persecution of eagles in Australia. In 2018, a man was jailed for 14 days(!) and fined AU$2,500(!) for poisoning 406(!) wedge-tailed eagles at three remote properties in Victoria's east. The maximum penalty for killing so many eagles was more than AU$350,000 or six months' jail. This only came to light because the man stopped working at the farm due to an argument with his boss. After this he provided investigators with two diaries detailing the methods used to kill the eagles and a hand-drawn map showing where the eagle carcasses were hidden and where the chemicals were stored: https://lnkd.in/g4gQ9tCW This is not an isolated incident in Victoria and eagles are also targeted in other states. For example, 2021 research found high levels of poison in wedge tailed eagles in Tasmania. Samples from eagle carcasses collected around Tasmania showed that 74 per cent contained residues of poisons. It isn't only Australia's federal environment laws that are unfit for purpose and lack the budget needed for 'boots on the ground' monitoring and regulation. There has been no shift in tackling the persecution of wildlife in Australia, in fact it has got worse. What these 'slaps on the wrist' show is the 'consequences of having no consequences'. Bad behaviour becomes entrenched when it is tolerated, and, while undoubtedly some people care very deeply about such issues, too many Australians tolerate bad behaviour towards the environment and wildlife. This is why it is so easy for governments to put off, indefinitely, enacting any useful environments laws: https://lnkd.in/gm878UKG #Biodiversity #Collapse #Regulation

The Crown Estates has been in the news this week, with a new funding deal agreed for King Charles III. But Crown Estates revenue from offshore projects used to be used to address coastal deprivation. And with its marine revenues up 300% in the last two years, there is surely enough to do both. This is a new short Policy Lab Paper making the case for a new Coastal Regeneration Agency. It looks at how coastal areas have been ignored for too long, the lessons from recent government interventions and the potential impact of a new national agency, funded by the Crown Estates.
