There was no vote to approve 'nation to nation' rights. The Charter Rights of 'First Nations' were determined by the Supreme Court of Canada. The SOC  and not non-aboriginal Canadians were responsible for embracing the 'race angle'. Non-aboriginal Canadians are quite willing to share all of their rights with aboriginals but aboriginals wish to retain advantageous pre-colonial rights.  It is and will remain a very divisive situation. Were there to be a vote today, it is highly likely that the result would reflect a Canada in which all of it's inhabitants are treated equally before the law.
