flag Membertou First Nation says provincial and RCMP enforcement is unauthorized on its lands, citing treaty rights.

flag The Membertou First Nation in Nova Scotia has declared that provincial and RCMP enforcement agencies lack authority to operate on its lands, asserting its treaty right to self-governance over cannabis and tobacco sales. flag The resolution, led by Chief Terry Paul, rejects recent raids on alleged illegal cannabis operations, calling them unlawful intrusions. flag This follows a December directive from Nova Scotia Attorney General Scott Armstrong to increase enforcement, sparking tensions with Mi’kmaw communities, some of which have banned Premier Tim Houston and cabinet ministers from their territories. flag While Armstrong acknowledged Paul’s leadership, he maintains provincial laws apply. flag The province and RCMP have not commented.
