Today former Conservative BC MLA Dallas Brodie introduced a bill to ban territorial acknowledgments from public events and places including schools and the legislature itself.
You can find her proudly posting about it on X (at Dallas_Brodie) I won't link it.
It's as bad as you think it would be.
It's not a bad thing to acknowledge and respect the fact that people lived in BC/Canada for millenia before European's got here.
It's not a bad thing to acknowledge and try to repair the deliberate harm that was done in that process.
(the bill was voted down at first reading by a voice-vote)
