Anyone with half a brain didn’t take any of the “concerns” around DRIPA seriously.
Did voters in BC seriously think courts would en masse start giving peoples’ houses away or something?
Absurd on its face.

Nothing in DRIPA is new... already protected by the constitution, and part of the constitution that can't be over ruled by the Not Withstanding Clause.
Embracing DRIPA would save decades of protracted court battles and billions.

The St’át’imc Chiefs Council (SCC) is joining several other Nations in a legal challenge against Carney's use of Bill C-5 to approve the oil pipeline and port expansion (that'll likely murder the orcas btw).
Who could have predicted this!!! Running roughshod over Indigenous rights = legal fights.

Yeah, it's brutal in BC with the conservatives essentially running on "We're going to rip up DRIPA just like we're going to rip up bike lanes, and audit all those corrupt chiefs who want to use "landback" to STEAL your house and kick your family onto the street!"

Absolutely but the NDP didn't even try to defend the decision and then when they signaled their willingness to "amend" DRIPA they validated the misinformation.
The "left" needs to grow a pair and defend itself and the people it claims to represent.

25 years ago BC did a referendum even more racist than Alberta's recent one. There was a huge and successful boycott that undermined its legitimacy.
But you wouldn't know that from Kenneth Chan's whitewashing revisionism here.
