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.

P.S. and now I REALLY wish I could coax the BCFerrys X account onto #SocialBC 😂

Angela Rasmussen, an avian flu virologist at the University of Saskatchewan, reviewed journalists' findings and dismissed claims the farm was engaged in any groundbreaking research. "I think calling it scientific work is quite generous. I call it a scam."

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”

The knives were out in 2024… but have they really been put away? lol.

"Milobar said in an interview Thursday that learning of the Elections B.C. penalty and investigation "took me by surprise," and he talked to Werner afterward.

"He assures me he did not know that there was an investigation, did not know that there was any connection to the B.C. United campaign or anyone that was working with him or for him," Milobar said.

BC's strategy was doomed to fail because, like nearly every government program in BC and Canada, there is a deep reluctance to increase spending and taxation to create actual capacity and capability in government.

The BC Government thought they could just decriminalize a few drugs and maybe put in some ‘targeted' funding here and there that would eventually shift to the private or charity sector.

It was never going to work. This was not a failure of the Portugal method in BC, it was an unwillingness to actually implement everything Portugal did to have success.

"Portugal’s drug strategy paired decriminalization with a massive, coordinated investment in treatment, housing, and social support, whereas B.C.’s decriminalization came without enough detox beds, long-term treatment, supportive housing, mental health services or follow-up care, leaving major gaps in its response. “Portugal had politicians and thought leaders who recognized the issue and that the response wasn’t just to decriminalize, but also to provide increased support,” said Pauly.”

Anyone with an objective bone in their body could see that the Ostrich ‘issue' was a conjob and a grift. But CBC went for the literal receipts.

"Angela Rasmussen, an avian flu virologist at the University of Saskatchewan, reviewed journalists' findings and dismissed claims the farm was engaged in any groundbreaking research.

"I think calling it scientific work is quite generous," she told fifth estate co-host Mark Kelley. "I call it a scam.””
