Geoffrey Moyse, KC, was legal counsel in the BC Ministry of Attorney General’s Office for more than 30 years.
His reaction to Premier David Eby’s latest climbdown on DRIPA:
@GlobalBC#bcpoli
This NDP government rammed DRIPA down the throats of British Columbians by quietly amending the Interpretation Act during a state of emergency, no less. Let that sink in.
While Abbotsford was underwater and the Fraser Valley looked like one giant lake back in the 2021 floods, the NDP snuck through changes to how the courts interpret DRIPA. They did it when nobody was watching, when families were sandbagging their homes and entire communities were fighting for their lives.
And now? Property rights are in question across the entire province. Resource development is under threat. Investment is fleeing. The whole economy is paying the price for their ideological experiment. This government literally cannot govern.
David Eby refuses to show any backbone because his own caucus is too radical to let him. He is trapped, caught between First Nations leaders, his own MLAs, and a one-seat majority that is hanging by a thread.
British Columbians deserve better than this chaos. We deserve a government that puts people, jobs, and property rights first, not one that uses crises to push through radical changes and then runs for cover when the public pushes back.
The NDP’s reckless approach to DRIPA has failed. It is time for real leadership in this province.
Just want to make sure everyone knows that when you get off Highway 1 westbound at Sumas, you don’t need to yield to vehicles coming up Sumas Way. See that yellow sign with the two arrows? That means you have your own lane and can proceed without worrying about merging. Thanks.
