Fascinating to watch the Conservative infighting revolve around criticizing speech. The Cons agenda is so anti-reconciliation, they can’t even invoke a free speech defence. BC cons are proof they have no principles anymore—it’s all reaction politics.
Juno News@junonewscom

A heated exchange unfolds between Caroline Elliott and Yuri Fulmer over DEI. Elliott accused Fulmer of promoting land acknowledgements on his business website and then removing them more recently. "If you were at the last debate, you would've heard me say that," he said.

In response to today's horrendous comments from MLA Tara Armstrong, the BC Greens have tabled a censure motion and are asking members to support the motion. If it passes, Armstrong cannot participate in the House until she retracts her statement. #bcpoli

The Declaration Act debate made one thing clear: when industry lobbies govt, it's democracy. When First Nations negotiate with the Province, it's "hostage-taking." They agreed to collaborate. Apparently that's a threat to democracy. New Substack 👇 khelsilem.substack.com/p/the-declarat…

A group advocates for their human rights after over a century of having them trampled; and now, critics think “actually it’s the other way around.”
DouglasTodd@DouglasTodd

This may be an historic statement from @vaughnpalmer: "I think it likely that Indigenous leaders and their allies in government knew very well what the DRIPA legislation was likely to produce, a new era where the governing of B.C. is increasingly shared among the province and Indigenous nations. "Already the province has learned that it cannot amend its own laws without the consent of First Nations. "As for the premier, I have to think that Sunday was the day he discovered who was really running this province — and it was not David Eby." #bcpoli vancouversun.com/opinion/column…

Fear. Thats what the Conservatives stand for. They understand the injustice the Crown inflicted on First Nations, they make up the worst case scenario in their mind, and then they sell the public on it.
Caroline Elliott@NVanCaroline

A MUST-WATCH: “I have never seen anything like this over 6 terms of provincial governments… I have never seen this level of ineptitude and incompetence.” “Nobody votes for [Aboriginal governments] except their communities. They have no obligation to the public interest for the other 5.7 million British Columbians. And they are co-developing British Columbia’s legislative agenda... that is completely unconstitutional.” This from Geoffrey Moyse, KC, legal counsel in the BC Attorney General’s office for 30+ years. DRIPA needs to go. Agree? Join me: WinForBC.ca

Jot this down: Conservatives believe collaboration is weakness.
Kerry-Lynne Findlay@KerryLynneFindl

In today’s joint statement with the First Nations Leadership Council, Premier David Eby has officially confirmed that his government will not introduce any legislation in this spring session to address the chaos DRIPA is creating for property rights and resource development across British Columbia. Instead, we are offered more talk, more collaboration, and yet another vague promise to consider action before the fall session. David Eby had an opportunity to show backbone and protect British Columbians. He chose weakness instead. The NDP’s reckless experiment remains fully in place, the court rulings continue to hang over us, and nothing has been solved. As your next Premier, I will repeal DRIPA and restore certainty and security for every British Columbian. Join me at Findlay4BC.ca

UBCM is also a registered society under the BC Societies Act. Also not a governing body. Also "just" advocacy orgs with member resolutions. Nobody calls it surrendering power when the province listens to UBCM. The double standard here is the tell.
Cosmin Dzsurdzsa@cosminDZS

British Columbians need to understand that the "First Nations Leadership Council" isn’t some sort of super First Nation legal body that has ultimate authority. It’s literally just a lobby group made up of three advocacy orgs: the Union of BC Indian Chiefs, the BC Assembly of First Nations, and the First Nations Summit. Mind you, none of these are actual governing bodies over B.C. First Nations or hold legal standing to speak on their behalf but the government is treating them like they're the de facto top of the chain authority. Two of these components groups are registered societies under the B.C. Societies Act. That’s it. They're not rights-bearing entities and they're definitely not the Jedi Council of aboriginals like they pretend. Eby is surrendering power over legislation to a lobby group.

She’s right you know. That’s the path forward and the path the BCNDP largely failed to follow.
Rob Shaw@RobShaw_BC

.@Emily_Lowan says @Dave_Eby should not be pushing First Nations to compromise on “unnecessary amendments” to DRIPA. Says gov should set timelines on updating outdated legislation, fund treaty commission and do more work on reconciliation. Greens support keeping DRIPA.

BC Greens Leader @emily_lowan says more transparency from gov’t is key to combatting misinformation and fear-mongering on Indigenous relations: “What we’ve seen over the past six months is a complete failure on government education, public communication, and that truth telling.”

UPDATE: Two First Nations leadership sources say British Columbia Premier David Eby is backing down again on the suspension of key parts of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, scrapping plans to table legislation on Monday. They’re all meeting now. #bcpoli

First Nations sources tell me and @wolfgangdepner British Columbia Premier David Eby's government will introduce legislation to suspend parts of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act on Monday. #bcpoli ca.news.yahoo.com/cp-newsalert-b…

Here’s what Yuri means: no matter what you say or do, I don’t care. There’s no bar too low. This is ego, not leadership.
Yuri Fulmer@yuri_fulmer

🚨B.S. Alert! The establishment has been angry with me ever since I struck a historic accord to Unite the Right with Dallas Brodie to beat the NDP. Some are angry because I’m breaking the rules by saying the quiet part out loud - that conservatives must come together to win the next election. Others are angry because they’re liberals who know I mean it when I say I’ll NEVER let this party become B.C. United 2.0. The insiders are freaking out because they know their time is up. Let them panic. I lead with absolute clarity, and here is exactly what I’m going to do: ☑️I will repeal SOGI, DRIPA, and enshrine property rights into law. ☑️I fully support fast-tracking resource projects and building a new pipeline. ☑️I will bring back Merit-Based Hiring and end the NDP’s ideological DEI hiring practices. ☑️I will ban international donations to any organizations, like Coastal First Nations, who seek to influence our politics with foreign dollars. ☑️I will end the government’s compelled speech and mandatory land acknowledgments. ☑️And I’m the only candidate pushing back on mandatory digital ID and the only candidate opposing Ottawa’s MAiD expansion. And when it comes to Net Zero? I’m a builder. I’ve actually had to run businesses and meet a payroll in the real world. To survive and operate in B.C., job creators like me were forced to navigate a punishing web of green tape, carbon compliance, and arbitrary Net Zero mandates designed and championed by Caroline Elliott’s BC Liberals and furthered by the NDP. I know firsthand how damaging these forced costs are to our economy and that’s exactly why I’m running as a Conservative to fix this. And let’s set the record straight: All 5 BC Conservative Leadership candidates donated to the BC Liberal/United Party back in the day. I’m a Federal Conservative; I have NEVER donated to the Federal Liberals. Caroline Elliot is the only candidate who continued donating to BC United/Liberals during and AFTER the 2024 election while I had my name on a ballot as a Conservative candidate. I don’t care if Liberals say I’m not a Conservative. @Dallas_Brodie endorses me as a Conservative. @BruceBanman endorses me as a Conservative. @WarrenHamm endorses me as a Conservative. And I hope you will too, so we can unite the right, protect our Party, and defeat the NDP.

Destroying the @InternetArchive's @WayBackMachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history. Media giants are now threatening to do this. We can't let this happen. Pass it on.

The caucus you intend on leading struck an entirely different tone at the events this past week. If they vote in favour, what then, Kerry-Lynne?
Kerry-Lynne Findlay@KerryLynneFindl

David Eby and the NDP have once again proven they are completely incapable of negotiating a real deal for British Columbians. The so-called Living Agreement they have introduced delivers no extinguishment of Aboriginal title. It forces mandatory ten-year reopeners and includes automatic “me too” clauses that allow the agreement to be endlessly upgraded as UNDRIP evolves. There is no finality and no certainty. This creates permanent uncertainty, higher costs for taxpayers, and future conflict for families and businesses in the region. This is textbook NDP incompetence and weak leadership. While Premier Eby celebrates, British Columbians are left with the bill and the chaos. As Premier, I will create certainty. We need real leadership that actually closes deals and protects stability and property rights for all. Join me at Findlay4BC.ca vancouversun.com/news/bc-introd…

Elizabeth May: "I just read in The Guardian that the big oil and gas companies are making $30m [*an hour] because of the wars. So why are we deciding to get rid of the excise tax on gas instead of an excess profit tax on the companies that are raking in the dough due to war?"
