President Chartrand addresses misinformation regarding Self-Government Treaty

April 24, 2026

MMF President David Chartrand continues to work tirelessly to stop the spread of misinformation regarding the Red River Métis Self-Government Recognition and Implementation Treaty, which went to a second reading in the House of Commons on April 22, 2026.

The MMF wants to remind Citizens to remain vigilant when consuming news. An exemplary article on the subject was published in City News on April 24, 2026: halifax.citynews.ca/2026/04/24/manitoba-metis-president-rebukes-afn-chief-over-call-for-withdrawal-of-treaty.

As your Red River Métis Government, we are so proud of the growing support we have received from the public in our continued fight for our right to self-govern, as well as the unwavering support of our Red River Métis Citizens.
