Thomas Isaac recently sat down with Chief Aaron Peter of the Nuanced podcast to discuss reconciliation, DRIPA in the news, UNDRIP, Indigenous rights, BC politics, Section 35, economic certainty, and whether Canada can move beyond symbolic reconciliation toward practical action and shared prosperity. The full discussion can be found here.
During the discussion Tom says he believes that Canada could be a major player in the global economy: “We could actually show the world how to do reconciliation, Wouldn’t that be something? Show the world that you can have a vibrant economy, vibrant Indigenous communities that are healthy and adding to an economy,” but to do so, Tom adds we need “a common vision,” along with responsible leadership and a long-term plan.
