| Press Release Wolastoqewiak @ Ne-ku-wut'-kok "people of the good river where the river goes under" Grassroots Press release June 22, 2007 It's time to pay the rent! Any deal signed by any of the below is Illegal. We never ceded, sold or surrendered any of our lands. You must consult with us on a nation to nation basis. Canadian citizen Phil Fontaine and Atlantic Policy Congress, NBAPC, Aboriginal Sec't, MAWIW, UNBI, INAC & its C&C pretend to speak for us. They have been placed in this position by their bosses, the Canadian government under imposed Canadian laws. They are paid by Canada . They report to Canada . They do not report to us or represent us in any sense of the word. Canada has it upside down and backwards. They haven’t established THEIR claims to our lands. We don’t have a thing to prove. The land is ours. They’re the ones with unsettled claims to our lands. This is about our “jurisdiction”. 1. We are not part of Canada : International law has determined that no people can be absorbed into a foreign state unless the majority give their informed consent through a free and fair vote. We never voted to become part of Canada or the British Empire . We were never conquered. We never gave up gave our sovereignty or jurisdiction. It’s still here and it’s still the law. We took no part in that BNA Act 1867 that was passed by Britain ’s Parliament to set up the Dominion of Canada . That’s a law for Canadians, not for us. Section 91(24) gives Canada the right only to negotiate WITH us on behalf of the British Empire. That’s all! Canada has no right to make laws for us. It doesn’t now and it never has.
