@Nick_Decap Thanks BC NDP. Yet another disaster.

Our province bought a hotel in downtown Vancouver for $55 million, filled it with drug addicts, who completely destroyed it. The government is now moving them out of the destroyed building and refuses to let media see the damage. In totally unrelated news, the BC government is canceling the construction of new healthcare facility due to lack of funds.

@TeriMooring Top indigenous lawyers are warning of the BC NDP’s incompetence on this file so I’ll trust them over Terri Mooring, former boss of the most partisan Union arm of the BC NDP - the BCTF.

And there are so many who, for their own partisan gain, are not attempting to understand the law and instead are fear mongering in the most disingenuous ways.

@t7_linda David Eby is from Ontario so people realize they have a poor understanding of BC and their polices are totally destructive.

This is such a silly take and makes we wonder about the seriousness of KLF as a candidate tbh. If she really thinks that using Ontario campaign staff is the same as the youth unemployment crisis she’s a ridiculous person

@SeanCarleton Nobody has poisoned the waters more than you Sean. The culture wars will only end when you stop your regime of propaganda and misinformation.

Why are you, without checking, boosting right-wing influencers deliberately twisting public discourse to poison the political relationship with Indigenous Peoples for cheap points. That's not leadership. Didn't you just say you were leaving the culture war behind? Unserious.

@unfilteredwkels @BCNDPCaucus @BCGovNews @BCConservCaucus @One_BCHQ @Dallas_Brodie Woke ideologues wasting their time on total nonsense rather than governing for the British Columbians who elected them. Unreal.

I was called a “conspiracy theorist” in Parliament so I brought the receipts! Yesterday in the BC Legislature the government was asked why the word Provincial is being quietly scrubbed from our park signs. They called it a conspiracy theory and said they were just modernizing with a logo. The truth is in their own manuals. I did the digging and here is what they aren’t telling you. The official BC Writing Guide now labels the term British Columbians as exclusionary. Their new rule is to call yourselves people living in BC. Internal BC Parks documents describe our park system as part of a colonial history. By their logic Provincial is a colonial word that has to go. Go to the BC Parks website and search for the word Provincial. You will get zero results. They are erasing the word before your very eyes. I found the Renaming Checklist they are using to swap out park names. Removing Provincial from the sign is just step one. They are spending $16,000 per sign to remove the name of our province while hiking camping fees by up to $25 per night to pay for it. Don’t let them gaslight you. The theory is a fact and the receipts are right here. 🚩 Is this inclusion or an identity disappearance act? Let me know in the comments. 👇

@SeanCarleton Fake academic creates fake terminology based on fake graves.

Aaron Gunn is a residential school denialist, and the rot goes deep in the conservative movement - supported by christian nationalist and far-right media. The politicizing of the truth that must come before reconciliation poisons our collective future. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

@MelanieBennet_ @kprschools This isn’t education - this is total brainwashing.

1/ FOI documents show an Ontario school board @kprschools trained principals to “speak back” to “anti-woke resistance” from families, colleagues, and the public. The training is part of a province-wide rollout of Culturally Relevant and Responsive Pedagogy (CRRP), backed by millions in taxpayer funding. Here’s what I found.

@alexbrown17 This a failure of our immigration system. Canada does not need more foreign grievances and victimhood.

As brutally demoralizing as anything on the DTES. People are just trying to go about their lives, get home to their loved ones after a long work day, they didn’t opt in to a global village flash mob.

@DailyHiveVan Why does he bring up an obscure reference from generations ago rather than highlight the extremely generous welcoming measures introduced by Canada. It’s unreal - this is exactly how to create resentment and zero appreciation for anything.

Diljit Dosanjh drops some real Vancouver knowledge on Jimmy Fallon show 👀 dailyhive.com/vancouver/dilj…

@mortimer_1 The DEI Dept at YVR should be aware that racist extortion called “reconciliation” only brings about resentment.

It got so bad, YVR turned off the comments to their post How about stopping with your virtue signalling and focus on running an airport. The public is growing tired of this stuff, so people and corporations can try to feel better about themselves

@kbolan @VancouverSun People have zero respect for journalists anymore. Woke “trauma informed” reporting destroyed the pursuit of truth and made the profession irrelevant. CBC, Global and CTV News are a joke as are Universities. This is the inevitable conclusion of woke ideology.

It is indeed a sad day for those of us who have either taught at or graduated from this excellent journalism program. I have been a part-time instructor there since 2012 and have been inspired by students and colleagues. vancouversun.com/news/sad-day-a… via @VancouverSun

@yvrairport @AirCanada @musqueam @fnmpc How long after landing did they sue for their traditional airplane?

Today, we're proud to celebrate an @AirCanada flight operated by an all-Indigenous crew. In partnership with @musqueam, @fnmpc and Air Canada, we continue walking the path towards reconciliation and representation in our industry.

@CoryBMorgan Gov must ban all taxpayer funded institutions from using them and we must boycott every professional sports team that engages in them.

Most people have become sick to death of land acknowledgements. In looking at the catastrophe BC has become, they are proving not to be harmless gestures. They are chants that mislead a generation. How though do we bring them to an end? Suggestions?

@mayne_s12 @peedeegee Canada already has enough victims

@dougla73063 @peedeegee "welcoming Canadians"

Most people go on The Tonight Show to plug a movie or show off a new suit. Diljit Dosanjh went on there to drop a 112-year-old historical checkmate with the casual shrug of a man who knows exactly who he is. When Jimmy Fallon asked about the Vancouver show, Diljit didn't just talk about the lights or the noise. He reminded the world that while the Punjabi spirit is global, the welcome mat wasn’t always rolled out. Back in 1914, the Canadian government was playing a rigged game. The Continuous Journey Regulation was simply a “No Indians Allowed” sign, disguised as a travel rule: you could only enter Canada if you came on a non-stop ship from your home country. Since no such ships existed from India, it was a legal trap. The SS Komagata Maru arrived with 376 souls—340 Sikhs, 24 Muslims, and 12 Hindus—who thought they were British subjects with rights. Instead, they were treated like a contagion. For two months, they sat in the harbour, just 2,000 metres from the shore, being denied even the basic dignity of food and water. The city didn’t just look away; they sent a tugboat full of armed men to force them out. Fast forward to Diljit standing in the centre of BC Place in Vancouver. While the ghosts of the 1914 exclusion act still linger in the salt air of the Burrard Inlet, Diljit turned that 2 km distance into the shortest, most triumphant walk in history. His witty repartee to Jimmy wasn't just a fun fact; it was a savage flex. “They did not allow us then. Now 55,000 people were there to celebrate us." Diljit didn't need to be angry to be impactful. He just used the facts as his backup dancers. From the 20 martyrs shot dead at Budge Budge to the roar of a sold-out stadium, the math finally adds up to justice. The "undesirables" of the past are now the icons of the present. History tried to write a “No Entry” sign. Diljit just signed his name over it.

@dougcraig3 @misschristijo Great - stop subjecting people to them so we can focus on real issues.

@misschristijo Of ALL the other things should could/should be focusing on to improve the lives of BCers 🤦‍♂️

This lady wants to ban free expression. Land acknowledgments are a practice they aren’t law She is saying she will ban us from doing something that isn’t even being done by law Isn’t that squashing my freedom? Feels like it

@jessecmccormick @NVanCaroline You and 10 others woke trolls are all posting the same thing.

Let's play this ad for everyone waiting in the emergency department waiting rooms of British Columbia & ask them if Caroline Elliott (@NVanCaroline) is focused on the issues that matter most. She has never held an elected position and her primary political strategy is to divide.

@GeoffRuss3 I’m starting to think we should revert to a hunter gatherer, feudal or theocratic system to see how much she enjoys her new reality.

"By the way, people of India and Pakistan, share the same colonizer (as Canada)" - a BC NDP MLA in the legislature regarding decolonization politics. She serves a premier who called British Columbia's origins a "colonial mistake". Resentment informs all leftist politics, and what was once bottled up has been set loose. But remember, the culture was doesn't matter and is simply a "distraction".

@TeriMooring No - it is land acknowledgments that are divisive. They are compelled speech and political opinion forced on the general population.

Land acknowledgments do not undermine BC’s legitimacy. This is a conspiracy theory, courts have not used land acknowledgements to reach their conclusions. It’s unfortunate the Conservative leadership candidates are being so irresponsible in stoking the division they are citing.

@One_BCHQ That land acknowledgment should have been shredded to pieces with 5 conservative candidates on stage.

The BC Conservative leadership debate last night was embarassing. Opened with a land acknowledgement from one of the moderators, Stuart McNish, (no candidate objected) and closed with Vaughn Palmer, the other moderator, ranting about how much he liked John Horgan and Bonnie Henry. Whoever organized this debate with the Vancouver Sun should be ashamed.
