Sustainable development planned in partnership with Northern residents. Cease treating the unique ecosystem of the North as a source of commodities for non-residents. Oppose corporate friendly initiatives like the Multilateral Agreement on Investment, which extends multinational corporations' power over free trade and investment. Instead encourage local, sustainable bio-regional independence. I.e. Saskatchewan people should control their own food, manufacturing, and energy production as much as possible, as also, for example, should people in Mexico.
Local control means less risk of environmental damage and improves potential for social justice.
