- Following a speech from Pierre Poilievre at the annual Assembly of First Nations (AFN) on Tuesday in Montreal, Que., multiple First Nations chiefs called out the Canadian Conservative Party leader for not acknowledging certain issues in his speech.
In his opening remarks, Poilievre critiquing what he called the federal government’s “paternalistic” management of First Nations people in his speech - while vowing economic opportunity as a path to reconciliation.
As noted by audience members, however, Poilievre forgot to acknowledge Indigenous veterans and the LGBTQ2 community. Additionally, he was criticized for not speaking out residential school survivors, the longstanding issue of murdered or missing Indigenous women and girls, and even climate change.
By several chiefs, Poilievre was also advised to become more educated on Indigenous matters, too, if he hopes to become Canada’s next prime minister and wants to further the path of reconciliation with First Nations Canadians.

No matter what Pierre says or does, it will never be good enough. There are so many grievances and sub grievances that it would take a week of sundays to address them all in one speech. The Chief's are a big part of the problem. Mismanagement and corruption are no strangers..
In your 3 minute speech you didn’t speak about all 53 things I wanted you to mention… how dare you!!!
"We endured the worst 10 years ever under the Harper Conservative government".
Stop crying and start trying
bla bla bla first nations wants more money bla bla bla
Those women are chiefs? What a joke.
Seems like a left wing plants to me.
Give them the reins and let them manage so they are are accountable for themselves...after billions of $$ of investment indigenous peoples still angry. Stop the handouts! Go Pierre🇨🇦
“An apology without money”
I live beside the Tyendinaga Territories. I’ve worked for a few families that own most of the business on the reserve. Eight billionaires live on that reserve, and over 200 people make more than 10 million annually. And well over 500 people make over a million annually. All tax-free. They have the most affluent people within a 100-km radius as a community. There is more money in freezers in Tyendinaga than in the province of Ontario. Things seemed to have worked out for them. Name a Chief that doesn't steal government money from their reserve... name one.
After years of hearing the same rhetoric from native communities, I am coming to the realization that they, as a people, are no different than the Panda bear.
He's giving them a real way out, and all they can do is beg a little more....
Time to investigate the chiefs use of money.
Why don’t the First Nations people run for office?
Pierre got yelled at by a tribe of morons... Handled it like a Champ. 🤗
I thought he gave a really good speech and said some very important things, but they still manage to be upset because he didn’t talk about certain things. He didn’t have very much time to bring a lot of it up and I thought he did very well for them to be ignorant and talk about the fact that he didn’t talk about missing and murdered and women and they turn their back on him. That’s the most ignorant thing That they could’ve ever done
That First Lady was definitely a liberal believer. He doesn’t need to be educated he is quite aware of what the indigenous communities need.
How about showing the video of the Liberal minister getting truly embarrassed and absolutely being ripped apart. It just shows how biased your news is. So so sad. Your just losing more trust.
PP is saying he will let them get on with their business,and all she can do is complain that they wont vote for him because he didnt acknowledge gay indians?
They "endured the worst 10 years ever under the Harper government"? Things were better when the residential schools were running? Out of the 4 centuries that Europeans have had contact with the indigenous and the century and a half Canada has existed, the Harper government was the worst thing that ever happened to them...?
