MNN. JULY 26, 2025. We don’t trust Canada. Prime Minister Carney’s Bill C5 is fraud. For us there is no freedom of speech in Canada. Our voices are deliberately not heard. Every person has a right to speak about the violations of their freedom of speech without all kinds of procedural rules or lack of funds being used to interfere with that right. At the end of a treaty on indigenous land transfer there is a section that specifies that only the government can buy the land. There is a reference to taxation as “property” tax. The government taxes their subjects for indigenous land they don’t own. If the property tax is not paid yearly, the government seizes the indigenous land along with any dwellings on it. All turtle island is tax free indian land. The government cannot collect taxes from an Indian. New Prime Minister of Canada Carney pushed his C5 bill through Parliament to fill the pockets of federal and provincial governments and trillionaire shysters on Wall Street.
