Beware the uncompromising ideologues seeking to reshape society in their image. The vast majority of voters are looking for something much simpler: governments that are disciplined, practical, and focused on getting things done to meet people’s material needs.

In this column, Geoff Moyse compares the growing political conflict over DRIPA to the “battle of the five armies” from The Hobbit, with multiple groups in B.C. mobilizing over the future control of land and resources.

“UNDRIP was developed over decades with the United Nations, with participation from Indigenous leaders from around the world who were advocating for recognition in the legal system that did not provide the constitutional protection that exists in Canada under section 35,” said Restoule, an Ojibwe from Dokis First Nation, which is a signatory to the Robinson-Huron Treaty of 1850.”—@tomfletcherbc MLI’s Director of Indigenous Affairs @karenrestoule Restoule quoted in @BeatNorthern. northernbeat.ca/news/bc-hangs-…
