Toxic politics, power and profit has strange bed fellows. Cannot be explained rationally, it dominates the present day narratives across the world.

Truer words. With the advent of social media platforms and news outlets, so much underhanded unaccountable agreements, alliances and questionable financial exchanges are being brought to light.

Follow the convoluted money trail if you can. Definitely NOT benefiting the average Canadian. But they invariably are paying…for generations to come.

DRIPA. BC/China ferries, Safe Supply opioids, taking a multi billion dollar surplus to a 13.8 billion dollar deficit, personal use of $10 day care, blocking pipelines are a portion of Eby's legacy. The NDP will have wear the stench of David Eby

Christine Barnett's avatar

Unfortunately, similar behaviour is present across Canada, although Eby definitely takes the cake.

Ethny's avatar

Yes. The NDP is a disgrace to its origins. An ideal willfully dropped in dung.

Essentially this whole DRIPA scam is another nation (as they call themselves) ceizing cdn citizens land. OK, bring the cdn army in to defend cdns on our own soil, that is what we expect from our federal gvt.

Eby's secret deals are probably unconstitutional and illegal. They could be set aside in a court of law for lack of compliance with parliamentary and legislative requirements and the common law of land title. Otherwise, Eby could give away your lands or mine by unilaterally recognizing "aboriginal title" over them, without either of us knowing about it in advance. That's not reconciliation, that's expropriation in secret.

Come on folks…. surely you can see the “end game” that is starting to be played out here?

Ask yourself,…..IF the B.C. indigenous people “get “their land back”…. what do you suppose. they would do with it….. seeing that the white man’s houses are sitting on it?

It…..”will”…. start off with the courts ruling in favour of the B.C. Indigenous claim that they OWN the land. Yaaahhh. regardless of what “ALL” the B.C. political parties claimthat are presently running for office. Ohh sure… some are serious that they can reverse UNDRIP. I suggest … they can’t…. as “all parties” signed onto the Act.

The “end game”? We….. the white man…….will agree to the Indigenous “claim”. Come on folks…. we are presently being…….”conditioned” in that regard with all these “announcements” prior to various meetings in public places. You’ve heard them….”we acknowledge “we recognize we are on uncoded land belong to the local Indian bands”.

Then come the elected provincial government of the day…..imposing a small insignificant tax on land owners ……..”for…….the indigenous bands. After a period of time of protest .. things will settle down…… and then an increase of tax…. time and time again until such as we white men will be slaves to our indigenous neighbours.

Like it or not folks, mark my words, ….THAT ….is the direction we,…. the “land owners” ..are headed. I see division coming in this province like never before. Being a land owner I am considering selling before the prices of homes COLLAPSE …and move my money out of B.C.

HOWEVER ….. FOLKS……. WAKE UP FOR GOD SAKE.

China is ruining our Country, death by a thousand cuts

Eby and others are ok with giving away other people's land/property but never theirs.

Beth's avatar

That's the socialist-communist way.

CF's avatar

This and no treaties signed. If he had done that and it ended their reliance on taxpayer funding, he would have been lauded. Not even close at present.

Ethny's avatar

This:

"He has profoundly divided British Columbians and diminished our vital journey of reconciliation with First Nation Communities."

Eby set relations with BC Natives back decades. Was that his intention? Is he so blind?

This is an idiotic mess made impossible by an idiotic man.

“B.C. voters are justifiably disturbed by this lack of transparency and would like to know who was lobbying whom when Premier Eby made billions of dollars of commitments to implement DRIPA”.

Let’s start with the trap of being financially indebted to wealthy CCP organizers…the ones that buy up and profit from FN weaknesses, that buy up critical mineral resources on their DRIPA lands, that have political faces over a very dirty barrel!! Then link this up with our Carney “new world order” influencer!! Chips start to fall where they may!

Communist China will buy out the Native landowner,

This is the first election that I haven't gone to an advanced voting station. After the last election debacle, I'm highly suspect of the advance voting process. BC is so incredibly corrupt, I question if it's even worth it.

"One person's truth is another person's fiction." How can you have truth and reconciliation when truth isn't discussable and any questions are characterized as hate speech. Murdered settlers are recharacterized as a byproduct of "War," but that "truth" was created more than a century after the fact. Truth is written by the victors and what is accepted as truth will decide who is victorious. Maybe it should be better called "Acknowledgement and Reconciliation." Understanding of truth and fiction highlights how information, testimony, and storytelling can shape competing versions of reality in society. With that in mind, how the heck can reconciliation ever be achieved except by manufacturing consent of what will be accepted as truth. Once that happens, truth is dead and replaced by fiction.

Marilyn Hagerman's avatar

Me too Don, but I refuse to lower my vocabulary and thinking to their gutter levels! There is something refreshing about maintaining a level of intellectual respect and truthful dialogue in a language suitable for the Pope to read!!😂😂 Take care!!
