B.C. Government (Conservative Majority), 2026-(NLT)2031

DRIPA is provincial legislation. If a province can't repeal it's own legislation, the justices responsible will have created a major crisis and it will be time to shake up the provincial judiciary. If federal courts get involved and try to tie things up, the crisis becomes federal.

Similar federal legislation exists which is supposed to guide/impact FN relationships in areas of federal jurisdiction.

Section 35 enters the chat...

Constitution Act, 1982 Section 35​

What is Section 35 of the Constitution Act?​

Section 35 is the part of the Constitution Act that recognizes and affirms Aboriginal rights. The Canadian government did not initially plan to include Aboriginal rights so extensively within the constitution when the Act was being redrafted in the early 1980s. Early drafts and discussions during the patriation of the Canadian Constitution did not include any recognition of those existing rights and relationships, but through campaigns and demonstrations, Aboriginal groups in Canada successfully fought to have their rights enshrined and protected.

It is important to understand that Section 35 recognizes Aboriginal rights, but did not create them—Aboriginal rights have existed before Section 35.

What’s DRIPA?

What’s DRIPA?

A set of untested, one sided, never adopted anywhere else on the planet land management policies pushed by an unelected, unaccountable international virtue signaling organization and put into force in BC by the NDP in an attempt to suck up to the Green Party (who they relied on to achieve majority status in the legislature) and First Nations - but it boomeranged on everyone...

Federal legislation to guide our own government in meeting terms of our own constitution makes sense. Limiting options by tying ourselves to a statement of aspirations emanating from the UN does not.

Regardless what the right amount of such legislation is, the power to enact or repeal any part of it must remain with the legislature. There really should never be any one-way legislative ratchets. I'd have it that nothing except the Constitution has any power to bind future legislatures to anything. If that's already the case, great.

Well here is the good news for Eby. He didn't do as bad as Jagmeet Singh with his federal NDP last election.

Whoops: that changed with the mail in ballots. Which is also strange. No NDP votes cast at the box on election day, they all came in by mail in ballots.

I’m sure she's on their Christmas card list.
