Put yourself in the position of a major global corporation considering/looking for resource/industrial investment/development opportunities.
How many of your millions (or billions) would you be willing to pump into B.C. when the Premier says he will only temporarily suspend parts of a piece of legislation that threatens your entire investment and operation in the province?
I’d say “Not a penny!”
Especially if there are plenty of other countries offering a more stable/secure investment climate!
Premier David Eby needs to develop a backbone and stand up CLEARLY to both the militant First Nations leaders who are twisting him around their fingers and the extremists within his own caucus who would willingly surrender control/ownership of B.C. Crown lands to First Nations.
Of course, the B.C. government should not be surprised to see their First Nations’ counterparts fight like hell to keep DRIPA intact.
Who could blame them!
DRIPA … unamended or even if only temporarily suspended … could be worth BILLIONS to the First Nations … money that would be extorted out of the pockets and bank accounts of other British Columbians.
And no one should believe for a second that private property won’t also eventually be subject to Court challenges by First Nations … and, under some sympathetic activist judges’ interpretation of DRIPA … be placed in jeopardy as well.
DRIPA must go … period!!!
The economic future of generations of British Columbians depends on it.
Eby and the NDP have to stop bowing and scraping to militant First Nations trying to run … and ruin … the province!
Temporary suspension of DRIPA is simply not good enough.
And if Eby lacks the spine to settle the DRIPA uncertainties once and for all by getting rid of this pie-in-the-sky United Nations policy … he should let the voters decide!
Submit DRIPA to a province-wide referendum … or call a provincial election and seek a mandate to suspend it … even for one day!
Or are Eby and the NDP too afraid of the people of the province?
Pass it on ….
