the project is 160 years of settler government imposition

My comment concerns the 160 year-long project of transporting spent fuel across 1000s of kilometers and burying the spent nuclear fuel deep in the Canadian Shield on Northwestern Ontario / Treaty #3 lands. It's the idea that the lands in the northwest are to be used as the dumping grounds for those who live in the centers of power that is hugely problematic. Since Europeans first came to Anishinaabe territories north of Lake Superior, they have imposed their economy on the People and produced dire intergenerational effects on them, the land, and the water. This loss of Indigenous prosperity is all well-documented; indeed, would Wabigoon FN even have been interested in going along with burying nuclear waste in Mother Earth if they haven't been disempowered by successive settler governments? All these 150+ years, the Canadian government has yet to provide reparations, boost Indigenous People's education, housing, health, access to water, and standard of living. How is this project any different from the 1000s of come-from-away business projects seeking to exploit and willing to risk damaging Treaty #3 lands (as well as other Indigenous territories that the nuclear waste will be transported through) besides having one small struggling FN agree to a monumental project that has only been proven safe and socially and environmentally sound through the data and research of contemporary mainstream science generated outside of the territories? As a settler Canadian, I am appalled by the audacity of the Canadian government seeking solutions to its own problems, in this case, where to bury 160 years worth of spent nuclear waste, by pushing the problems onto Indigenous peoples and their lands. I am strongly against this project. Another solution needs to be found for the spent nuclear waste. Why not stockpile it by 24 Sussex Drive and Stornoway? Perhaps a futuristic silo could be built for it by AI. Continuing to damage northwestern Ontario without having solved the problems created by early colonial projects is ethically unsound and morally repugnant.
