Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals are trying to set aside land across Canada by using indigenous people to gain support and taxpayer money to protect and conserve areas across the country by establishing indigenous protected and conserved areas (IPCA)..On Wednesday, Trudeau announced up to $800 million over seven years, starting in 2023-24, to support up to four indigenous-led conservation initiatives, two of which are happening in the Lakeland in Alberta..“Our government is here as a partner. And today, we took an important step forward, together, to deliver a vision of conservation that has partnership and reconciliation at its core," Trudeau said.."I’m looking forward to our shared work to deliver results for communities and for the nature that sustains us all.”.Once completed, these projects could protect up to one million square kilometres in Canada. Most of which have oil and gas resources..The federal government says spending for this project is a major step forward in "protecting nature across the country.".The feds say it will drive progress toward Canada’s ambitious goals of conserving 25% of land and waters by 2025, and 30% of each by 2030.."With this funding, the Government of Canada is helping to bring together 30 indigenous governments and organizations in the Northwest Territories," The federal government stated.."Funding is also intended to support the conservation of lands and waters in the Northernshelf Bioregion in BC, in Qikiqtani Region in Nunavut, and in Ontario’s Hudson Bay Lowlands, as well as the coastline of Western Hudson Bay and southwestern James Bay one of North America’s most carbon-rich and biodiverse ecosystems.".As delegates from around the world come to Montréal for the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP15) to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, the federal government said Canada will continue to "champion its role as a leader in nature conservation."."We will continue to support indigenous-led efforts to conserve nature and biodiversity, protect indigenous cultures and ways of life, and build a healthy future for generations to come while making significant progress toward meeting Canada’s conservation goals," the federal government said..READ MORE: IPCA: Trudeau's land grab happening across Canada, not just in Alberta.MLA Dave Hanson for Bonnyville-Cold Lake-St. Paul told the Alberta Legislature recently "Nice try Justin," concerning a potential Liberal land grab in his riding.."This is nothing more than a divisive tactic to continue the federal attack on Alberta's oil and gas industry," Hanson told the Western Standard.."The federal liberals need to recognize and respect provincial jurisdiction and our constitutional rights to develop our resources. $800 million would provide a lot of housing, fresh water and infrastructure to our first nations and settlements."
