how much of a lineup is there to build a $34B pipeline when WCS is $45

Maybe- but to play that card and be able to use the "in good faith" premise you need have atleast a plausible presentation of Asking -> Listening -> Evaluating > Deciding

Deciding -> Asking -> Pretending to Listen and Evaluate , doesn't cut it.

Hence MOU, hence actually engaging.

Pushing through unreasonableness has to wait for the unreasonableness to be presented and be shown immovable by other means

You're straw manning this by saying "pretend" to consult.

I am saying there are limits to what consultation is, and regardless of the outcome it doesn't stop the project.

Tell me, is the economic well being of Canada and it's provinces of particular urgent national interest given the current climate with our largest trading partner? "Team Canada"?

But PMMC already deep sixed this. He stated for the MOU to go ahead, BC and the FN must consent. PMMC added that stipulation when it's not constitutionally required. He gave the opponents the veto. BC and the FN have already stated they will not consent. The MOU is dead. Confederation is failing. This how not-insignificant separatist movements get momentum.

Your understanding of what "duty to consult" means and entails is far different from what is reality.

Government of Canada and the duty to consult

The Government of Canada has a duty to consult and, where appropriate, accommodate Indigenous groups when it considers conduct that might adversely impact potential or established Aboriginal or treaty rights. The duty stems from the Honour of the Crown and is derived from section 35 of Canada's...

Aboriginal Consultation and Accommodation - Updated Guidelines for Federal Officials to Fulfill the Duty to Consult - March 2011

In the Haida and Taku River decisions in 2004, and the Mikisew Cree decision in 2005, the Supreme Court of Canada held that the Crown has a duty to consult and, where appropriate, accommodate when the Crown contemplates conduct that might adversely impact potential or established Aboriginal or...

Is it your position that duty to consult means that if all demands are not met to the satisfaction of the griever the griever can veto the matter?
