United States Senator Alex Padilla was representing the millions of Californians who are demanding answers to this Administration's actions in Southern California.
This is a shameful and stunning abuse of power.

@TaraArmstrongBC I am thankful that you are NOT my MLA. I would hate to live in your riding because your views are so narrow. One of the biggest problems in today's world? People who only care about themselves. It's rampant in in the politics of the US and it saddens me to see it echoed here.

Assertions of Indigenous Sovereignty: A Response to the Penticton Indian Band
May 12, 2025
Victoria, British Columbia
In a joint statement last week, we sounded the alarm that the election of Mark Carney could fuel separatist sentiments within British Columbia.
We also made the obvious observation that more than 200 Indigenous bands asserting sovereignty is a crucial issue facing our province today. With all due respect to the chiefs and councils of these bands, British Columbia simply cannot accommodate more than 200 sovereignties within its borders. Would you fly a plane with over 200 pilots, each with their own controls?
It’s no surprise that the chief and council of the Penticton Indian Band are alarmed by our repudiation of their unfounded sovereignty claims and the broader set of grievances promoted by the reconciliation industry.
Billions of dollars have flowed from the public to lawyers, consultants, and chiefs, with zero accountability and disastrous results. Indigenous lifespans have plunged by six years since 2017. British Columbians have seen taxes increase, healthcare and other public infrastructure fail, and the cost of living soar out of reach.
Unilateral assertions of sovereignty by bands are deepening racial conflict and undermining the principle of equality under the law. Wet’suwet’en chiefs blocked an LNG pipeline and expelled workers; Haida leaders tore down homes of law-abiding residents; and Líl̓wat and N’Quatqua bands closed Joffre Lakes to the public.
Canada must begin serving the interests of British Columbia—because right now, it isn’t. Part of that involves securing our land base from both internal and external threats, so we can once again utilize our abundant energy and resources for the benefit of everyone.
When British Columbia joined Canada in 1871, it saw no need to recognize Aboriginal title or sovereignty and resisted the creation of reserves for fear of excluding Indigenous people from public life. We hold a similar hope for our future—that all British Columbians will partake as equals in the province's future prosperity.

Yes Matty, you will be missed.
On days we open Netflix to watch “something else” and still end up watching friends,
On days we have a bad day and need a friend,
On days we just want to turn back the clock ‘cause we are feeling old
RIP #MatthewPerry

@bryanadams Hello! I have 2 tix for your show in Penticton on Monday night. I live in W Kelowna & with the rockslide/road closure, it will take 6 hours round trip to attend. My husband works at 6am next day. There's no way to make this work. Can our tickets be refunded please?
