Destroying these records erases vital evidence, history, and the painful accounts of people who deserve to be remembered. That serves the agenda of residential school deniers not reconciliation.

More than 38,000 residential school survivors testified to the abuse they experienced as children. Next September, Canada plans to destroy their records.

After months of cowardice on DRIPA, Premier Eby is doing what he should have done from day one: working with First Nations, cooperatively.
The BC Greens have been the only steady hand on this issue. We’ve said clearly, from the beginning: hands off DRIPA.

Do you have racists in your family who think DRIPA or landback means Indigenous people are stealing white people's homes?
Well good news the government has put together a handy easy to use website to explain why that's silly

But you contribute to this when you say you'll repeal DRIPA, when you blame it for almost all problems under the sun, and allow misinformation to spread about it ... The Cons can't have it both ways

a very good, concise explainer worth sending to anyone who thinks the panic over private property begins with DRIPA (and could be resolved by dismantling it)
“The truth about B.C.'s unceded land (and your home)”
This is grounded in the law, not politics.
And until policymakers actually understand it, they can’t deliver the property rights protections that British Columbians deserve.

The only reason the BCNDP have not amended DRIPA yet is the Nations told them not to, and they are afraid for their slim majority.
If they get the "solid majority" they seek you can bet they'll be back to amending DRIPA.

Hundreds of Indigenous leaders, legal groups, and labour unions have told Eby that weakening DRIPA will create more uncertainty and distrust.
Instead, he’s barreling forward with this “suspension” — yet another panicked snap-decision that will only create more instability.
