*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.

@PhoenixSerenity I think both things can be true. Eby is a sellout and the NDP has a history of shooting themselves in the dick as far as indigenous relations go. Maybe I'm reading too much into it given a certain CBC piece that dropped recently about RCMP meddling with First Nations establishment in BC, but it does make me wonder if there's a reason the NDP has that history.
@disorderlyf It's had a shitty history with Indigenous communities here for decades. Their reputation with Indigenous is no better than former BC Liberals. In fact, many POC/Indigenous consider BC NDP worse because BC Liberals were more upfront about how they didn't give a fuck about anything more than increasing capitalism interests. While BC NDP tried whitewashing/greenwashing their BS - while being mega capitalist asshats. More old growth cutblocks were logged under BC NDP than in entirely of BC Liberals regime in BC. Both of them are full of toxic shit.
@disorderlyf RCMP CIRG was created by Horgan/former BC NDP dictator.
@PhoenixSerenity Okay, this in particular makes me even more sus about BC's NDP
@disorderlyf Current BC NDP are fascist adjacent, neoliberals. Groomed & whipped by Horgan. I first started hating Horgan in his casino lobbyists lying days. Before he became BC Premier. I never trusted that shady muthafucker.
