The poll does not have a margin of error because online polls aren’t considered truly random samples.

“In terms of those who support the ban and those who have specific concerns regarding TikTok, it’s mostly among older Canadians who don’t use TikTok,” said Christian Bourque, executive vice-president of Leger.

It's almost as if the headline is clickbait or something. Bullshit article about a bullshit survey that can't even be called a survey.

Unfortunately, many media outlets do not understand the differences and serve only to further confuse their viewers on the topic. The only source I would trust regarding any indigenous topics is APTN. The linked video briefly describes the differences between elected and hereditary chiefs in Wet'suwet'en law, though this may be different with other tribal law systems.

I will only add that the elected chiefs, representing their respective reserves, have a conflict of interest since the funding they rely on to provide for their people comes from the government, which is obviously not on their side. For them, it was either endorse the pipeline or lose funding from the government, which would probably mean losing their land.

Also, this video talks about RCMP disinformation tactics using the media to misrepresent the people who's land is being taken away as criminals.

As if the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was just expensive PR.

Should spend more, 220m seems a bit low.

Funny, I was just going to mention Vietnam; they did the lockdown as it should have been. Closed borders, no gatherings, the whole shebang. And wouldn't you know it; economic damage from the pandemic was extremely minimal because of all the people (read: workers, read: customers) that didn't needlessly die or were permanently disabled.
