✅ What’s broadly accurate
* David Eby and DRIPA
* BC passed the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) in 2019 (under the NDP government, before Eby became Premier, though he supports it).
* DRIPA aims to align BC laws with the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
* UNDRIP influence
* DRIPA does use UNDRIP as a framework. That part is true.
* It encourages consultation and cooperation with Indigenous nations in decision-making.
* Court ruling on mineral claims
* A real court decision (2023, Gitxaala Nation v. British Columbia) found BC’s online mineral staking system unconstitutional because it allowed claims without consulting First Nations.
* This ruling did reference Indigenous rights, including principles aligned with DRIPA/UNDRIP.
⸻
❌ What’s misleading or exaggerated
* “Enshrined Indigenous rights directly into law” (as absolute control)
* DRIPA does not give blanket control over all land or resources.
* It creates a framework for alignment and consultation, not automatic veto power.
* “Entire mineral claims system was ruled inconsistent with DRIPA”
* The court ruled the system inconsistent with constitutional Indigenous rights (Section 35).
* DRIPA was part of the context, but not the sole legal basis.
* “20+ lawsuits immediately”
* There is no widely supported evidence of a sudden wave of 20+ lawsuits caused directly by this ruling.
* “Eby tried to suspend the law / reversed multiple times”
* This is overstated and lacks clear factual backing.
* Government responses have been about adjusting policy and compliance, not scrapping DRIPA.
* AFN + United Nations claim
* Assembly of First Nations is indeed an advocacy organization, not a governing body.
* However, saying BC is being “controlled” by the UN is incorrect.
* UNDRIP is non-binding internationally unless governments choose to implement it (which BC did via legislation).
* “British Columbians do not answer to the UN”
* True in a narrow sense — the UN does not directly govern Canada.
* But irrelevant framing — BC voluntarily adopted DRIPA.
* Quote from Geoffrey Moyse
* Geoffrey Moyse is a real former government lawyer.
* The quote may exist, but it’s an opinion, not evidence of systemic failure.
⸻
🧠 What’s actually going on (simplified)
* BC is adjusting how resource development works to better respect Indigenous rights.
* Courts are reinforcing constitutional obligations to consult First Nations.
* DRIPA is part of that shift, but not the sole driver.
* This creates uncertainty for industries (like mining) — but it’s not a sudden collapse of law or governance.
⸻
Bottom line
The post is:
* Partly factual (laws + court case exist)
* But framed in a highly political and alarmist way
* And misrepresents how much power DRIPA/UNDRIP actually have
