Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth; And thus do we of wisdom and of reach, With windlasses and with assays of bias, By indirections find directions out.

  • any submarine heads want to give the newscomm a run down of DPRK's new submarine? @Awoo@hexbear.net ?

    Workers, scientists and technicians in the warship-building field, all out in the glorious struggle for implementing the WPK's policy of modernizing the navy, are pushing ahead with the building of a strategic nuclear attack submarine, one of the five-point major tasks for developing the defence capabilities set forth at the 8th Congress of the WPK, by fully displaying the great power of self-reliance and inexhaustible patriotic enthusiasm.

    Kim Jong Un stressed once again the importance and significance of building a strategic nuclear attack submarine in carrying out the self-reliant defence policy of the WPK and the government of the DPRK.

  • They seem to get equipment support from China even though China also supplies the junta the PLA is fighting.

    but really, what's going on here? is supporting both sides a deliberate strategy or is something funny going on?

  • Yeah I hear you, there's systemic forces at play on top of the general fallibility and potential maliciousness of leadership. I'm sensitive on this one because so many Canadian right wing talking points about Indigenous people come back to "they get all this stuff for free and don't pay taxes so why aren't reserves wonderful, oh it's because of those corrupt chiefs". I'm sure that petty corruption is a real factor for some First Nations, but accusations of corruption and demands for additional financial reporting are weaponized against Indigenous governments as well.

  • Shuttered in 2008, Skeena Resources Ltd. (TSX:SKE) plans to re-start the former mine in an open-pit project that could generate more than $14 billion in GDP in one of the highest-grade gold mines in the world.

    Skeena and Tahltan leadership had negotiated $1.2 billion in cash, and $570 million in contracts and wages to the First Nation over the life of the mine, though many of the details have not been made public.

    The upfront payment to individual citizens is about $30m give or take, and presumably there is some amount of immediate funding for TCG. A mine might be 20-50 years of operation, or shorter if things go wrong. It's a big environmental liability for sure.

  • the "elected" tribal councils are usually incredibly corrupt and just used as pawns by the Canadian colonial state to achieve their ends

    That's a pretty reductive statement about the leadership across Indigenous communities. There's no doubt that the Indian Act in Canada has created conflict and contradiction between colonial and Indigenous leadership of nations, but it's chauvinism to believe that most leadership is "incredibly corrupt". The discrepancy between traditional leaders/elders and officials elected under the Indian Act varies between Nations. There are some notable examples of the two groups being at loggerheads, like the Wet'suwet'en, but this isn't the rule. There are 200 different First Nations in BC alone and don't all have that same dynamic.

  • In a followup to this post about a BC First Nation voting on whether or not to approve a large resource project and an associated benefits agreement, the community vote happened and the result was approximately 80% in favour of the project (archive link).

    Held over the weekend, 77.4 per cent of eligible Tahltan Nation voters backed a proposed Impact Benefit Agreement (IBA) connected with the Eskay Creek revitalization project, according to official results published by the Tahltan Central Government.

    Unlike other mines, Eskay Creek is subject to Canada’s first consent-based decision-making agreement with a First Nation. Signed in 2022 between the province and the Tahltan Central Government, the agreement explicitly states the project cannot proceed without the nation’s free, prior and informed consent.

    The K'adesibē post following the vote is available here.
