        My question was not what is UNDRIP, it was why UNDRIP.

        To be fair most indigenous people probably do not care too much about abbreviations, they likely have more pressing problems in their life :/

        And to be clear, anything that recognized the shit indigenous poeple have gone through and is at least attempting to make a net positive for them is good.

        Silly abbrevation is still silly though.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_on_the_Rights_of_Indigenous_Peoples

      The Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP or DOTROIP[1]) is a legally non-binding United Nations resolution passed by the United Nations in 2007 that delineates and defines the individual and collective rights of indigenous peoples, including their ownership rights, cultural and ceremonial expression, identity, language, employment, health, education, and other issues. Their ownership also extends to the protection of their Indigenous intellectual property.[2] The declaration “emphasizes the rights of Indigenous peoples to maintain and strengthen their own institutions, cultures and traditions, and to pursue their development in keeping with their own needs and aspirations.”[3] It “prohibits discrimination against indigenous peoples and promotes their full and effective participation in all matters that concern them, and their right to remain distinct and to pursue their own visions of economic and social development”

      Excerpt from the article:

      Carney opened Friday’s forum by reiterating a commitment to reconciliation, and admitted that there is much more to do on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) Act and its action plan, the calls for justice from the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calls to action.

      UNDRIP is a human rights instrument that acknowledges Indigenous Peoples have the right to give or withhold consent for projects that impact them. The Conservatives have opposed this policy as a “veto,” while the Liberals passed legislation in 2021 requiring federal laws be harmonized with UNDRIP.

        DOTROIP I guess is a little better. Surprisingly I did actually read the article, I was just wondering why would anyone pick a name that would be abbreviated (everything can be verb’d right?) to UNDRIP. Unless they did not get to pick the name for rhe irganization that’s supposedly on their side. Thanks for the wiki link btw, I was too lazy to look up the background on this

        A convenient excuse to not develop our resources, leading to massive losses in foreign investment into Canada. Why would anyone invest here when bureaucracy makes it impossible, why would they not invest in the US instead leaving them with higher wages and more economic growth as has been the case over the last 10 years?

        We are last in the OECD for growth, as we import people into a housing and doctor shortage to hide it. This video has the graph at 2:40 if you want proof of that.

      None of that is true. Even the quickest of Google searches confirms you’re not being accurate.

      Canada’s avg income: C$55600 (around US$ 40k)
      Mississippi avg income: C$41600 (US$ 30k)

      Canada’s avg income is comparable to California, Minnesota, or Virginia.

      Stop getting your talking points from US owned conservative media. All they do is lie, and it makes you a liar by proxy.

      Canada /does/ have issues, but none of them are things conservatives are capable of fixing. They’ll only make it worse, just like we’re seeing down south.

        Ah sorry, it was median wages I was meant. Obviously averages are misleading and should generally be avoided when it comes to talking about net worth and salaries.
