Do you think these two facts are related? 🤔

@Dave_Eby ,

Your joint statement with the FNLC is a straight-up capitulation. After floating amendments to suspend or pause key DRIPA sections and Interpretation Act provisions following the Gitxaała court ruling, you’ve now confirmed zero legislation in the spring 2026 session. That’s not “joint talks” or reconciliation, it’s handing a veto to roughly 5.7% of BC’s population while the other 94.3% foot the bill for the chaos.

The numbers are brutal and public. Fraser Institute data puts stalled resource projects, mining, LNG, critical minerals, at over 670 billion dollars because of endless FPIC-driven delays and uncertainty. StatsCan’s February 2026 release shows 84,000 national job losses in the sector, BC’s share is about 20,000. Provincial budget deficits are locked in at 11 to 13 billion dollars, provincial debt is climbing past 180 billion dollars, and you’re already planning 15,000 public-sector cuts plus tax hikes while net population outflow hit 41,000 last year. Auditor General reports keep confirming the same pattern federally: 24 to 32 billion dollars annually on Indigenous programming with dismal measurable outcomes. This is not evidence-based governance. This is ideology over arithmetic.

DRIPA’s FPIC provisions create exactly what Section 15 of the Charter forbids: race-based differential treatment that undermines equality before the law and the rule of law for every citizen. Modern treaties with finality, Nisga’a, Tsawwassen, already proved certainty works. Perpetual, ever-expanding claims do not. You’re choosing the model that freezes investment, kills jobs, and balloons debt instead of the one that delivers clarity and shared prosperity.

This backdown wasn’t driven by new evidence or public interest. It was driven by activist pressure and internal NDP threats after your own caucus and the FNLC pushed back. British Columbians are not collateral damage for your political survival.

Repeal the FPIC elements. Legislate statutory timelines for project approvals. Prioritize citizens who actually pay the taxes that keep the lights on. Evidence over excuses. Precision over propaganda. Citizens first. Canada first. One law for all.

David Suzuki who owns multiple homes one on an island has made millions off of this grift. He wants politicians to prioritize the environment over the economy, ya easy for a multimillionaire to say. Look how unhinged he’s become.

The Loonie is FLYING in the wrong direction

No wonder travel to the U.S. is down 20%

[pinky @maggietrudeau]

@RobSchneider Yup. 11 years of liberal corruption and ineptitude will do that to a country.

A Year of No Accomplishments or Accountability but Carney wants you to think Canada is #1 in the world. Carney has used CBC to brainwash his supporters into thinking he’s a god,I think he’s a con artist.

[Tim Lloyd @ForestechTim]

@MLABrennanDay It’s becoming pretty clear that the NDP plan of everyone working for the government, destroying the natural resources extraction industries, then tabling legislation to kill the economy is resulting in what everyone with any business sense predicted: massive debt and a recession.

[Aaron Gunn @AaronGunn]

A bit rich coming from a guy who has openly celebrated individuals convicted of treason and armed insurrection against the Canadian state.

Not to mention siding with American-funded ENGOs whose sole mission is to keep Canadian resources in the ground (to the benefit of the US).

[Tim Lloyd @ForestechTim]

@MLABrennanDay This is the @bcndp “Forestry Revitalization” plan at work. Use them as a publicity stunt and then regulate them into extinction to appeal to the urban green vote in Greater Vancouver and Victoria. This same strategy almost cost them the last election….

[Tim Lloyd @ForestechTim]

@bcndp The @bcndp “lowering the bar and calling it progress since 2015” the best line of 2025 by @RobShaw_BC on the Political Capital podcast. This post sums up how tone deaf @Dave_Eby and the BC NDP are….

[Tim Lloyd @ForestechTim]

@BarryESharp @bcndp Thank you for writing this post, it made my first day of the new year brighter! I am glad that I am not the only one that thinks this @bcndp government is completely ineffective and incompetent!! Keep the facts coming!!

[Brad Zubyk @Bzubyk]

Only the NDP could claim that a policy that divides British Columbians is somehow "reconciliation".

In reality, NDP reconciliation has become a poorly disguised reparations movement with no cap on payments or damages claimed.

[Trevor Halford @TrevHal]

David Eby hardwired DRIPA into the Interpretation Act so every BC law must be read through UNDRIP.

Now he is blaming the courts for the chaos he created.

Judges are doing exactly what he ordered.

The real threat to our economy and property rights is the Premier.

[Tim Lloyd @ForestechTim]

As per @RobShaw_BC “@bcndp hailed themselves as “the leader in the world” on indigenous rights when they crafted DRIPA in 2019.” Now BC NDP 🤡 show are the laughing stock of BC & the world as courts use it to strike down provincial laws & leave the people of BC in legal limbo.🙄

[Tim Lloyd @ForestechTim]

@MLABrennanDay As with anything else @Dave_Eby & the @bcndp get involved with the introduction & implementation of DRIPA is a complete disaster. Half baked promises, unrealistic expectations, no forethought at possible repercussions down the road leave the people of BC in limbo for no reason.

🇨🇦 🚨 Worth clarifying what the media won’t:

The “Coastal First Nations” group everyone keeps quoting is not a Nation, not a band, and not a rights-holder.🇨🇦

It’s a Vancouver-based non-profit, funded by U.S. foundations that oppose Canadian resource development.

Nothing wrong with advocacy — people can support whatever causes they want.

But let’s stop pretending this organization holds title, jurisdiction, or treaty authority on behalf of entire Nations.

🇨🇦 Facts > narratives.
Accuracy shouldn’t be optional.

“There’s certainly a cohort of people in this province who won’t be satisfied until every mine is shut down, every sawmill is closed. And I suppose we’re all going to work in coffee shops and whale watching.” https://t.co/rOVRaZW9xb

[Tim Lloyd @ForestechTim]

Another mill closes, this time on #vancouverisland, due to @Dave_Eby and the @bcndp “ideology over economy” forest polices. Be interesting to see if the incumbent NDP candidate gets re-elected there in the future after this announcement.

[Rob Shaw @RobShaw_BC]

NEW - In a massive blow to BC forestry sector, the Crofton pulp mill is permanently closing.
Owner Domtar cited "poor pricing for pulp and lack of access to affordable fibre in BC."
More than 350 jobs lost.
@Dave_Eby had tried to save mill 2 yrs ago with transitional funding.

[Aaron Gunn @AaronGunn]

I am devastated today by the news out of Crofton.

My heart goes out to the 375 Canadians who lost their jobs, their families and the communities they support.

I will never stop fighting for you.
