Looks like the Premier is not willing to go to an election on it or even bring this very damaging legislation forward!

Wise move!

B.C.’s NDP government nixes plan for DRIPA confidence vote, delays bill

Most First Nations were strongly opposed to the plan

Campbell River Mirror

This could be a major moment in the history of British Columbia. Will it continue on a path of true reconciliation and de-colonization of its legal structures, or will it step backward?

The vote on the bill in the Legislature should be a matter of confidence.

If the Government of British Columbia cannot continue DRIPA, which was passed *unanimously*, then it seems appropriate that the government should fall on its attempt to halt it.

And oh... this little nugget at the end of the story should be a red flag for any proud Canadian living in British Columbia.

The principal of the company "Sovereign North" that BCUnited hired to create the FireJohnRustad website is now….. “president of the separatist Alberta Republican party”

BC Conservatives: keeping it real.

"Mainstreet was transparent that the survey was commissioned by the campaign of Peter Milobar, the Kamloops Centre MLA who it found to be one of the two leading candidates among respondents who had decided who to vote for.

The Milobar campaign’s release, in contrast, called the survey an “independent poll” by an “independent pollster” and failed to note its own connection to it.”

Like... why lie. When it was even a decent poll *for your campaign* 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Whelp. No wonder #Rustad doesn't want to slither off into the sunset! He's making mad dolladolla bills, y'all. Maybe he just needs to hang tough enough to pay off the Christmas prezzies he has on lay-away? #bcpoli #bccp

"B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad admitted to reporters at the legislature on Thursday that during a meeting earlier in the week, he had ordered his caucus leadership to search MLAs' phones to determine if one of them was leaking information."

Rustad admits ordering a search of B.C. Conservative MLA phones

Caucus leadership searched their colleague's phones during a meeting to find someone leaking information

Alberni Valley News

Achievement unlocked! Emailed the offices of the #BCNDP #BCCP #BCGreens and every elected MLA. A similar message as last week's to Municipal leaders/staff.

Tweaked the message to emphasize the "BC Made" element in this time of a trade war with the USA.

Bluesky isn't it.

It's a time when people are going to look for locally grown solutions. That includes Social Media!

Time to twist arms: BC Greens should hold legislature hostage

As a condition of supporting the NDP, the Greens ought to insist on another kick at the electoral reform can, which they campaigned on once more in 2024.
