Canada's Endorsement

As Cultural Survival notes, Canada's "endorsement" of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples specifically objects to most of the rights contained in the landmark international law. In plain language, Canada's endorsement is fraudulent. In the age of public relations as a substitute for governance, Canada could take a lesson from the ultimate con artist, Barack Obama. Lie, stall, hold phony consultations, but don't come right out and say what you really think.
