  1. Legal experts say the Quw’utsun Nation land decision doesn't affect private property rights, but that fear, constantly cultivated by politicians seeking more votes, has an effect. If the government of British Columbia repeals DRIPA, it will hinder reconciliation, replacing negotiation with litigation.

  6. “Nobody is getting a gold star for repealing #DRIPA,” said Conservative Party of BC leadership candidate Iain Black. “But the real question is… then what?”

    It is a pointed question, but in answering it himself, he inadvertently exposes the runaway uncertainty at the heart of his entire party’s approach to DRIPA. Mo Amir writes. #bcpoli

  7. The only issue with DRIPA is government inaction. Over the next five months, the government has an opportunity to move beyond a futile amendment negotiation and instead:

    👉 Repair the harm caused from the last 6 months of government misinformation and fear-mongering
    👉 Fund accessible public education on DRIPA and reconciliation
    👉 Build a shared vision with First Nations on the *implementation* of DRIPA
    #dripa #bcpoli

  8. Reading comments from Premier David Eby and articles on his decision to take no action on #DRIPA for at least six months made me wonder — what kind of a person/leader is he? Judith Sayers writes. #bcpoli

  9. Boosting the incredible resources on DRIPAfacts.ca! 📝Share this far and wide to combat coordinated misinformation campaigns. DRIPA is the path forward for human rights in BC. Send this to your family, co-workers and friends so we can collectively defend this critical legislation in the coming months. #bcpoli #dripa #handsoffdripa

  10. After months of cowardice on DRIPA, Premier Eby is doing what he should have done from day one: working with First Nations, cooperatively.

    The BC Greens have been the only steady hand on this issue. We’ve said clearly, from the beginning: hands off DRIPA. #dripa #bcpoli #handsoffdripa

  24. The Declaration Act is about human rights

    Premier David Eby and the BC government are breaking their commitment and planning to amend the Declaration Act by undermining Indigenous peoples' right to hold the government accountable in court.

  25. @Mannanan Sen̓áḵw for Cowichan?

    The Cowichan decision does not demand the surrender of fee-simple lands, it demands Richmond and Prov of BC negotiate a resolution.

    I'm guessing if the Cowichan were offered publicly owned land that could establish what Squamish were provided to establish a Cowichan "Sen̓áḵw", that issue would be resolved.

    But Richmond and Prov of BC would rather force years of uncertainty than to face the responsibility history has laid at their feet.

    Cowichan housing success would lay bare Richmond and the prov's inability to resolve these issues.

  30. *I think Eby's the current, problematic BC politician in Premier power role. The core problem is that #BCNDP haven't really respected #IndigenousRights for a long time. Their caucus became too whipped under Horgan & that's continued under Eby - who was groomed by the former neoliberal in charge of BC policies.*

    Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs says the NDP has a “colossal” leadership problem, and if it doesn’t move on from Premier David Eby, the party could be doomed for decades. “I think the problem is Premier Eby,” he said at a Friday morning news conference in Vancouver held by Indigenous leaders opposed to a proposed suspension of parts of the Declaration on the Rights of #IndigenousPeoples Act (DRIPA).

    Phillip spoke alongside the #FirstNations Leadership Council, which is made up of members of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations, the First Nations Summit and the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs. The groups held a joint news conference in Vancouver on Friday (April 10), slamming the B.C. NDP government’s DRIPA suspension plan, a move the council had called a “unilateral betrayal” on Thursday. #DRIPA is a 2019 B.C. law that formally commits the province to aligning its laws with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples ( #UNDRIP ), which affirms the right to #SelfDetermination for #Indigenous peoples worldwide.

    The conservative voices vilifying the Cowichan decision, arguing it removes property rights is full of contradictions.

    The court established that the Cowichan tribe proved they had exclusively occupied Lulu Island for generations, -> "owned"

    In arguing against the Cowichan, conservative voices are saying government should have the right to take control of land who's use and ownership is established and obvious. and use if for their own gain?

    Isn't this precisely the opposite of conservative philosophy?

    The property rights noise is a pathetic effort to game ignorance anger prejudice and division for political gain.

    Will Canadians follow the call to willful ignorance?

    The Cowichan ruling isn’t a threat to private property

    "The ruling does not undermine or invalidate the rights of any landowners who were not parties to the case.

    Instead, the court directed the federal and provincial governments to negotiate with the Cowichan about how to reconcile Aboriginal title with existing fee-simple title. "

    It’s a call for governments to face their obligations to Indigenous Peoples, but owners outside the case won’t suddenly lose their deeds.
