What the solution is, I don't know. I know both parties need to do better. The government needs to resolve treaty disputes, especially when it comes to environmental problems, instead of just sweeping the discussion under the rug, and righting wrongs that in some cases, didn't happen that long ago. They signed these treaties, they need to honor them, or renegotiate them in a way that is fair, instead of allowing the rules to be bent and broken and not taking the concerns seriously.

I don't see renegotation as a solution. We'd just be replacing one set of inequalities with another.
I still think the wheat board is a good analogy. Should the government have the right to end the wheat board, if it has been previously agreed that the wheat board can only be disbanded with consent? I think the government should have that right. The right of society as a whole to make democratic changes trumps the contract.
