On Bluesky, Robert Jago posted about how he even emailed to confirm that he was actually on the invite list, was told he was, and then he paid for his flight and hotel.

The day before he was set to travel, he got an email telling him he wasn’t on the list.

I received an invitation to attend the government's First Nations summit last week, reconfirmed with them by email before booking tickets. And now like a day before I'm due to fly out - they email and say 'oops - you're not on the invitation list'. Not thrilled at the $2k waste of my money.

The Canadian government fucking over first nations, a tale as old as time
