The Ontario Greens, led by Deputy Leader Aislinn Clancy, have voiced strong support for Cat Lake First Nation’s recent injunction that halts construction of a temporary road for the Springpole Mine Project. Clancy emphasizes the importance of free, prior, and informed consent from Indigenous communities, as highlighted in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. She criticizes the Ford government for failing to engage meaningfully with First Nations, noting that sustainable mining practices depend on genuine partnerships with those whose lands are affected.
