A majority of respondents — 57 per cent — said they believe Indigenous land claims are valid and there was overwhelming support for the federal government to actively resolve them [72%]. Those surveyed also called for the government to consult with Indigenous groups on development projects [72%].

We are at a tipping point. Keeping up the pressure is the road to real improvements, not just more of the lip service of the past.

oh my! Not only did you put up an incorrect link to the related survey, it's from yet another 'closed shop' of people who have chosen to join the marketeer's club; those already predisposed to taking surveys (as in those offered incentives to take surveys) - hardly a random representative sampling of Canadians!

in any case, it's quite telling just how liberal your interpretation of the survey's related questions is - you're a real hoot, member Granny! Here's the actual questions and results... there's no nuance in your statement - none at all!  ;D Your summary statement doesn't seem to speak to the ,"somewhat valid, somewhat agree" categories of the questions... and the second question is set-up around being in favour of human rights, or not... cause people will never say they're against human rights, would they? Oh my, member Granny, oh my!



but hey, should the waldo link to another recent days closed shop survey from Angus Reid; the one that holds that: Nearly half of respondents said patience and dialogue with those who oppose the natural gas pipeline in B.C. was the best way to resolution, while the other half said blockades should be brought down using whatever force necessary.
