If anyone is wondering, the bill in question allows the sale of native land to non-natives, threatening the preservation of reserve lands. I got issues with how the reserves are managed (see Indian Act) but the loss of the land would be the worst thing we could do. The bill also removes most protected lands and rivers from protected status, and Harper also recently agreed to a free trade deal with China that will allow China to sue Canada should Canada pass environmental laws that would cut into Chinese profit.
