The chief of the F-S-I-N says they’ll “go the distance” to fight for First Nations children.

Bobby Cameron spoke Friday afternoon in support of the Justice For Our Stolen Children Camp, newly re-established at the Saskatchewan Legislature.

He acknowledges steps towards a meeting with the provincial government are in progress.

Cameron says the protest is about protecting and advocating for their biggest asset, the children and ensuring good housing, mental health and receiving a quality education for Indigenous children is essential to their success.

Have Your Say

When you receive your carbon tax rebate by direct deposit have you ever not known where it came from, regardless of how it was identified on your statement?

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.

The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.

T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
