Dimitry Anastakis arguably knows more about the Auto Pact and Canada-US relations in the automobile industry than anyone else. His piece in the Globe is worth a read - as are his books on the topic!: www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

Donald Trump doesn’t seem to know that it was America that willingly (and profitably) helped to create an integrated North American auto sector

We just published another paper in Papers in Canadian History & Environment! Read Glenn Iceton's paper on historical and ongoing conflicts over land use and resource extraction in the Yukon Territory. #cdnhist #envhist

“The Land is No Longer as it Was”: Land Use, Resource Extraction, and Land Claims in the Yukon Territory.
In 1973, Yukon settlers opposed Indigenous land claims, fearing economic impacts, while Indigenous groups fought for recognition and justice.

Friends & supporters! We are hoping to wrap up our annual fundraiser TODAY!! But we're still 20% of the way to our goal.

The average donation has been $183, which is amazing. But we'd love to see more smaller support come in. Let's do this!

I've been part of this project for the past three years and am very excited to introduce the Yellowhead Treaty Map: an accessible introduction to Indigenous perspectives on treaties in Canada.

The team at Yellowhead knocked it out of the park with this one.
