Abstract

This paper analyses the platforms of the three central parties (Progressive Conservatives, Liberal, and New Democratic Party) in the 2015 Canadian Federal Election, specifically referring to their proposals for addressing Indigenous politics. This paper illuminates the failure of all parties to put forward a comprehensive platform that acknowledges the systemic problems, and works towards permanent solutions to the state of living and relations with Indigenous peoples. Instead, each party focuses on the more visible, resulting effects. This method can only lead to further stigmatization from mainstream Canadians who are provided with only a limited discursive framework, in which to view Indigenous politics.
