i in no way wish to mitigate the calamitousness of yesterday's results by saying this - and believe me, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth to say it - but i think it's important for us to recognize that the proposed carbon tax is neither the "only" nor the most important positive action of Campbell's Liberals: their "new relationship" to BC's First Nations is more immediately significant.
Guujaaw (president of the Council of the Haida Nation) has assessed the situation as a victory for First Nations; of course much remains to be seen as to what the actual content of the "new relationship" will be, but for a Premier to acknowledge the existence of Aboriginal Title to this unceded territory is a startling development, and something we, as activists, must pay attention to.
