Did you enjoy your morning walk in the woods today? Walk your dog on your favourite trail? Go for a bike ride with a friend? @NVanCaroline is right to ask: “See where this is going?”. What’s left of ‘public’ land if the public can’t use it?.Are you worried? — @PharaBoard sure is,.
In May the Gitxsan banned non-Gitxsan from fishing in 30,000sq km of public land in northern BC. Now the Ktunaxa are banning plant harvesting for non-Ktunaxa over 70,000sq km of public land in southern BC/US. Plus there’s the closure of provincial parks. See where this is going?

Is it really that surprising that residents on the Sunshine Coast, and British Columbians in general, have lost all faith and trust in the @Dave_Eby NDP government. It just keeps happening! Lack of consultation, lack of transparency, and secret deals!.BC NDP's Secret Deal with.

Thanks @RobShaw_BC & @BeatNorthern and @NVanCaroline for shining light on Okanagan Falls. 2,700 residents voted to govern themselves — but under DRIPA, they’re trapped in secrecy, delays & backroom deals over names, land & consent. This is not democracy. When will it end?.
It’s absolutely insane that a newly-incorporated community may have a new name (that they don’t want!) imposed due to Eby’s radical UNDRIP policies. Unsurprisingly the minister was not made available for an interview. We’ll see a dramatic erosion of public goodwill at this rate.

So True @CherylR09307747. That is why @PharaBoard is fighting DRIPA in Court. Please spread the word. #stopDRIPA.

Are you planning on going to the lake this summer, or visitin… Pender Harbour and Area Residents Association needs your support for Help Us Protect Property Rights and Constitutional Democracy
“No British Columbian ever voted in a referendum for DRIPA. They never voted for the fundamental rules of their democracy to be altered, and they certainly never voted for private property to be thrown into question without their consent. The NDP do not make court rulings, but.

Absolutely! Thanks @CDNinshorts!.
@financialpost This article nails a critical point: legal rights in Canada should never depend on lineage. That includes the ongoing system of reserves, status, and race-based programs. The current setup is unsustainable, opaque, and creates a two-tiered system that benefits a few while the.

Thanks @VaughnPalmer for your continued coverage of the @Dave_Eby NDP and their tone deaf administration. Call it secretive or subterfuge but label it for what it is: JUST PLAIN WRONG! We did not vote for this, so why is it continuing?.

Thanks @GeoffRuss3 for your cleareyed article about DRIPA and the BC NDP's debacle of its' implementation. So true, no British Columbian was ever given a referendum to vote on DRIPA. They were never consulted on transforming the core principles of their democracy, nor did they.
People have no idea if they'll wake up to find their private property rights gutted, their street renamed, or vast swathes of their province cut off to them. David Eby's addiction to secrecy is killing reconciliation. My latest for the @nationalpost.

A great interview with Geoff Moyse. His view is that the BC Government are "storming ahead on its' own ideology of Undrip (DRIPA)" and not advising the BC electorate sufficiently, or bringing people along on what they are doing - "in fact, being quite secretive". His analysis is.

Couldn't agree more @NVanCaroline. BC let's get this done!.
BC needs a new government & a drastic overhaul so badly. 210,000 new public sector workers in the last 8 years have cost taxpayers an extra $26.5 billion. And while the public sector grew 36% between 2017 & 2024, the private sector grew less than 10%. Totally unsustainable.

So this is how the @Dave_Eby and BC NDP support private land, and fee simple ownership in BC? WHY didn't our Provincial Eby government utilize all their tools in their legal toolkit when arguing their case? The op-ed by Robin Junger, McMillan LLP, tells us why. Junger critiques.

Unchecked activism and revisionism,” ignoring the town’s history since its naming in 1893. Is this what is really needed to advance reconciliation? And at what cost?.The debate in Okanagan Falls, a small community of 2,300 in British Columbia’s South.

Okanagan Falls is gearing up to become B.C's newest municipality. But residents have since learned that the name of the community may have to change as the province says it's looking at how a name...

The recent Richmond land title decision is not easy to understand. But thanks @NVanCaroline on the Mike Smyth show today she helps to demonstrate the the impacts of this bombshell court decision! Private titles are defective and invalid. Really!? Listen to this recording.

As @PardyBruce notes BC DON'T kid yourself, you thought you owned your property, that it was safe? Well, think again! BC’s DRIPA is torching property rights! The Cowichan Tribes case (2025 BCSC 1490) shows how DRIPA, wielding UNDRIP’s Indigenous land rights, is bulldozing fee.

BC's #DRIPAproblem will only be exacerbated by these kind of out of touch and misguided court rulings. This MUST be appealed if we are to have anything left of BC for the other 95% of our population. #stopdripa, #stopEbby.
A 🚨bombshell judgement 🚨was released yesterday by BC’s Supreme Court, declaring Aboriginal title over land in Richmond, including private property. If this stands, it has massive implications for private property across BC. Read the highlighted sections for yourself:

Yes @NVanCaroline When is the madness going to stop?. What good comes from dividing people into camps—calling some “settlers” or “colonizers” and others the only rightful inhabitants? How long before all trust, friendship, and civility between Indigenous and non-Indigenous.
Those circles include BC government MLAs, who stand in the legislature to encourage non-Indigenous British Columbians to refer to themselves as ‘settlers, colonizers and uninvited guests.’.Read @ZivoAdam’s excellent piece on the new blood & soil nationalism endorsed by the left.

The courts have made it clear: Indigenous consent is not a legal veto under Canadian law. Yet DRIPA risks changing that by introducing a new standard based on the language of UNDRIP—without public debate or legislative clarity. This article is a timely reminder of why DRIPA is a.
