This First Nations community has made a heroic effort for our democratic rights against this treaty. No investment treaty since NAFTA poses a greater threat to the environment, public health, First Nations and basic notions of democracy. On January 18, 2013, the Hupacasath First Nation of British Columbia took the first steps toward challenging the Harper government’s new corporate rights pact with China – the Foreign Investment Protection and Promotion Agreement (FIPA). That’s the day the Hupacasath filed an application in court to stop the ratification of the FIPA until the government has fulfilled its obligation to consult with First Nations about the impacts the treaty will have on their rights and their lands. No trade or investment deal in recent memory has attracted so much opposition in Canada – and for good reason.
