Non aboriginal voting on reserves discussed in CTF commentary
Tanis Fiss of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation argues that non aboriginal residents on reserves should have voting rights similar to other jurisdictions. The piece notes historical acts allow bands to tax non aboriginal leaseholders and businesses to fund public works for all on reserve. It cites Sechelt’s advisory council as a potential model and warns of broad implications for tens of thousands of Canadians amid growing native governance power.
