Open Letter to the Corporation of Canada and Ontario regarding Bill C-5 and Bill 5

Tuesday June 10, 2025

Waynaboozho/Greetings,

My name is Kaikaikons and am Atik Clan from the community of Gchimnissing in the Chippewa Tri Council Territory that is part of the Ojibway Nation; a People and land mass that makes up our Great Anishinabek Confederacy. I am also known as John Courtney of the Hawk Family. Our former treaty partner Great Britain referred to our Tri Council as the Chippewas of Lakes Huron and Simcoe in the Upper Canada Treaties. The Corporation you represent now reduces us as “Indians” where you may know my community as Indian Reserve 30-A, the Beausoleil Band located on so called Christian Island, ON. 

I am writing you today regarding Ontario’s Protecting Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act, and the proposed Federal Bill C-5; An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act. With it being National Indigenous History Month, I’d like to first share with you a brief reminder of your corporations history within our Territories as it pertains to the applicability of said laws that will affect our fundamental rights and freedoms where you have made yourself liable by speaking on behalf of our Territory. The foundation of your legal history is as follows;

• 1764 Niagara Covenant Treaty offered by Britain to 24 Indigenous Nations to ratify the 1763 Royal Proclamation. In return our Nations accepted by offering the Two Row Wampum and 24 Nations Presents Belt. This established a Nation to Nation Relationship based on Peace, Co-existence and Non-Interference and established the process of how agreements were to be made in relations to our lands.

• The Indian Land Management Fund (Indian Trust Fund) established in 1858 is an account to hold all moneys collected, received, or held by the Crown for the “use and benefit” of the Indigenous Nations . These monies come from the lease of lands and from royalties and revenues from natural resources. This Trust was eventually stolen by “Canada” where it exists today as the Consolidated Revenue Fund of Canada.

• The 1867 British North America Act was not a constitution but only a UK Statute to consolidate its four colonies (provinces) as one colony called the “dominion.” This enactment did not confederate any such colonies to become free and independent but was created as one colony and kept as a UK possession in order to pay debts owed to the United States as agreed in the 1871 Treaty of Washington.    

• The 1893 Statute Revision Act removed Section 2 of the BNA Act which was the enacting clause that pertained to future heirs and successors of the monarchy. This meant when Queen Victoria died so did the BNA Act as well as the Indian Act. The Queen in Section 2 (a) being referred to in the Indian Act is Queen Victoria. These acts after 1901 became void, repealed and could no longer be amended or reenacted by any future heirs and successors of the monarchy.

• 1931 UK Statute of Westminster extinguished the UK’s jurisdiction over its Dominions where the Crown in Chancery gave up its possession over all Crown lands to allow its Dominions to become free independent states. Politicians needed to make a legitimate Constitution at this time but did not.

• 1931 Statute of Westminster also means that all crown lands obtained by treaties with Indigenous Nations reverted back to the underlying allodial title of the original title holders, the Indigenous Nations. The Treaties with the Crown were extinguished. The Indigenous Nations never consented to have such corporation and its officers replace the Crown as treaty partners nor made treaties with the so called Provinces. All monies, the land mass referred to as Canada and the resources are that of Indigenous Nations. All laws and agreements passed since 1931 are also unlawful and illegal.

• October 1, 1947, William Lyon Mckenzie King created The Letters Patent Constituting the Office of the Governor General. This can only be done by the Crown in Chancery of Great Britain. A Governor General was no longer required as Canada was an independent state. Every MP, MPP, Lieutenant Governor, Premier, Prime Minister and Governor General since has been committing fraud and violating international laws.

• In 1982, the UK a foreign government and monarch had no longer a legal and lawful right over so called Canada and to amend and reenact the BNA Act through the Canada Act to create the 1867 Constitution Act and 1982 Constitution Act. Steps to ratify and enact the UK Canada Act required all Provinces to sign Schedule B of the Act where a total of 3 Proclamations were needed to pass the Act. None of this Happened.

• So called Canada has only been a Shipping and Trading Company operating under Law Merchant since it was the Hudson Bay Company in the 1670’s. 

• All historic injustices, settlement agreements and funding of our communities have been with our own monies made from our own resources. CANADA hasn’t paid us anything as a result no settlements have ever been lawfully and legally made. 

Remedy Sought 

• When your corporation’s board of directors returns after summer break introduce a new bill to rescind the Protecting Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act, and the proposed Federal Bill C-5; An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act.

• Stop all development on our lands. Create a Constitutional Convention to create constitutions for your so called Provinces to legitimately Federate then we can talk about sharing our resources.

• Give us our Monies to fund a National Program for Indigenous Nations to reemerge as our inherent forms of Governance the rightful Title-Holders outside of the legal fiction birth certificate registry. 

• Negotiate and establish new Treaties under the process intended under the 1764 Niagara Covenant Chain Belt, Two Row Wampum and 24 Nations Belt that was based on Peace, Co-existence and Non-Interference.    

• Reinstate a central Bank of the People and remove the Indigenous Nations and “Canadian Citizen” from the fraud and fictitious debt incurred by the Bank of International Settlements and other International Banks that print our money and loan your fraudulent governments money based on outrageous compound interest that is theft of the so called taxpayer and theft of Indigenous Resources.  

Continuing to engage in these international crimes and acts of treason and fraud is holding the Indigenous Nations and the so called “Canadian Citizen” in servitude to a foreign monarch in which such laws, enactments, and statutes are made under which violate Indigenous Peoples and the “Canadian Citizens” fundamental rights and freedoms protected by the UN’s Declaration of Human Rights Article 4: No one shall be held in slavery or servitude. 

Today I write to you standing as a rightful Title Holder and Representative of the Caribou Clan of the Chippewa Tri Council signatory to the Penetanguishene Purchase Treaty# 5; Lake Simcoe Purchase Treaty No. 16 and Lake Simcoe- Nottawasaga Treaty No. 18 that make up a total of 250,000 acres in which we have not been properly compensated including annuities. I also speak on behalf of our 13 Million Acres of our Territories that were subject to the 1923 Williams Treaties which failed to implement annuities and 2018 Williams Treaties Settlement Agreement that also failed to include annuities where such agreements were unlawful and illegally made between Canada and its subordinate; the Officers of a Federal Board, the Indian Act Councils. 

I also write you as Regional Coordinator of ACTION- Anishinaabek Clans to Invoke our Nation and as Chairperson of INAC -Indigenous Nationals Against Colonialism a registered Non-Profit in which we are a collective of Indigenous Nationals organizing as the rightful Title Holders unto our Territories and reemerging our inherent forms of Governance to Represent ourselves accordingly to our law and constitution, the Clan System. 

In Conclusion failure to heed to such International Law and failure to implement the said remedies we will have to approach the UN Security Council for intervention, apply to the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court to hold all such individuals accountable.  We will also notify our International allies and other Nation States to employ economic blockades until these international crimes are remedied.  To ensure these remedies begin to be implemented we will begin with filing a Constitutional Challenge and Class Action Suit against your corporation CANADA INC and ONTARIO for the Protecting Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act, and the proposed Federal Bill C-5; An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act. 

As it stands Bill 5 being enacted has breached the Robinson Huron Treaty annuities Settlement and the Williams Treaties Settlement Agreement which are now null and void by enacting this Bill which violates such agreements. 

In the Spirit of Truth and Reconciliation,

Kaikaikons, Atik Clan, John Courtney of the Hawk Family
