Mark Carney claims to end the Indian Act, but he's just replacing it with $26B in new federal red tape and bureaucracy. Real sovereignty means property rights and true autonomy, not new layers of Liberal control.

#cdnpoli #Carney #Libertarian #PropertyRights #Freedom
A black-and-white editorial political cartoon signed by Jeff Johnson. On the right, Prime Minister Mark Carney in a suit smiles as he uses tiny clippers to snip a single link labeled "THE INDIAN ACT". On the left, an Indigenous person stands completely bound from head to toe in thick ropes and chains, surrounded by massive stacks of paper labeled "$26B/YEAR BUREAUCRACY", "NEW FEDERAL PROGRAMS", "BILL C-10 OVERSIGHT", "NEW COMMISSIONERS", and "RED TAPE". A speech bubble from Carney reads, "BEHOLD! WE ARE FREEING YOU FROM THE PATERNALISM OF THE OLD INDIAN ACT!" The bound Indigenous person responds, "By burying us in a $26-billion tangle of new Ottawa red tape?!"
