Analysis of Federal Party Platforms

In Episode 39, I provide a detailed overview, analysis and commentary of the federal party leaders' election platforms and what they offer - or don't offer - Indigenous peoples. It includes the platforms for Liberals, Greens, NDP and Conservatives. This podcast was based in part on an article I wrote for Canadian Dimension Magazine that was also released today: https://canadiandimension.com/articles/view/where-the-parties-stand-on-indigenous-issues I also wrote about the issue of First Nations voting and not voting in Canadian elections in my book: Indigenous Nationhood: Empowering Grassroots Citizens: amzn.to/2PR7NTU Here is a link to a new textbook on "radical politics" where I have a chapter on Indigenous resistance politics which stands in contrast to participation in Canadian politics: amzn.to/2LuacPe In my book, Beyond Blood: Rethinking Indigenous Identity and Belonging, I share my analysis on the Indian Act, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the Constitution Act, 1982: amzn.to/2XDjTDR If you would like to help me keep my content independent, please consider supporting my work at Patreon: www.patreon.com/join/2144345 Note: The information contained in this podcast is not legal, financial or medical advice, nor should it be relied on as such.
