NEW: The BC government has committed more than 334,000 acres of Crown land to First Nations through treaty negotiations.
That includes prime land in Victoria and even Hatley Castle.
Some treaty lands could also have limited or NO public access.
British Columbians need to wake up to what is happening to our province!!
Petitions demanding mandatory minimum sentences for animal abuse frequently rack up over 100,000 to 150,000 signatures... Media never covers them.
Petitions pushing to expand legal protections for rural homeowners defending property regularly achieve 80,000+ signatures... Media never covers them.
Petitions fighting Health Canada overhauls on natural health products, supplements, and vitamins regularly bring in over 215,000 signatures... Media never covers them.
Petitions protesting foreign hedge fund ownership of major Canadian news conglomerates easily generate over 80,000 signatures... Media never covers them.
Should I go on?
I was on Global News talking about this absolute shocker: $101K a month to house ONE Vancouver resident in an empty 110-room hotel the NDP billed taxpayers tens of millions for.
Massive waste and pure disrespect to workers struggling with cost of living. End the lunacy.
While British Columbia burns, Eby is giving away the Province without public consultation.
I warned everyone Eby would deploy a scorched earth campaign, knowing he is so unpopular, he can't win an election.
Hang on.
So Albertans who want a referendum to control their own destiny are “traitors”, but socialist radicals chopping up B.C. and undermining sovereignty, without a mandate, is just Canada as usual?
#REPORT: Evan Siddall, who previously advocated for a home equity tax and questioned why Canadians "glorified this idea of homeownership," has been appointed by Mark Carney as the chair of Build Canada Homes.
This Hoekstra petition got me thinking...
Can we start a petition to remove David Cochrane as host of Power & Politics and replace him with Katie Simpson?
Unlike Cochrane, Simpson doesn’t lead guests toward predetermined answers. She is as neutral as a host should be, and the conversations are far more informative with her at the helm.
The NDP is moving ahead with massive Crown land transfers as part of their political land-back agenda, and they are doing it without meaningful public consultation or proper democratic oversight.
British Columbians are learning about these deals after the fact, through documents and media reports instead of open debate in the Legislature. This is no way to handle land that belongs to everyone in this province.
The scale of these transfers is enormous, and the lack of transparency is unacceptable. The NDP must stop their massive land-back agenda immediately, restore public oversight, and start treating the interests of all British Columbians as the priority.
Handing over public land in secret is a failure of basic accountability. The NDP has failed on this file.

A deal has been made.
Last week.
The Liberals have kept it a secret.
MSM instead, attacks Pierre.
Every other country, when they had a deal in principle with the United States, they announced it.
Why hasn’t our government said anything?
No mention of progress.
$28 billion facing 50% tariffs, and they choose to stay quiet.
Ask yourself: why?
When you think through the reason, and when you see the deal, you’ll then understand why they stayed silent & Carney went to Italy.
Expect an announcement by the end of the month.
My friend Aaron Gunn, MP for North Island—Powell River, is asking the questions taxpayers want answered about this billion-dollar condo bailout.
The B.C. NDP designed this program, Ottawa is backing it, taxpayers are carrying the risk, and wealthy developers stand to benefit.
Now it’s time for answers here in B.C.
I’ll be writing to B.C.’s Auditor General to raise concerns about this program and ask that its development and use of taxpayer dollars receive independent scrutiny.
Mark Carney essentially surrendered to Trump on the trade deal, yet the mainstream media and Liberal pundits keep attacking Pierre Poilievre instead of questioning Carney’s decisions. Poilievre isn’t making these decisions, Carney’s government is. This media bias is unbelievable.
Here is what has barely been reported about the dairy dispute between Canada and the U.S. (read carefully).
Milk protein isolates are concentrated dairy ingredients made by removing most of the water, fat and milk sugar from milk, leaving mainly protein. Food manufacturers use them in products such as yogurt, cheese, nutrition drinks and protein-enriched foods.
Under CUSMA, isolates containing at least 85% protein can generally enter Canada tariff-free. Before CUSMA, Canada created discounted milk Classes 6 and 7, allowing Canadian processors to buy domestic protein cheaply, displace American imports and export surplus dairy ingredients at highly competitive prices.
CUSMA was supposed to end this practice. Instead, Canadian dairy boards shifted similar pricing into another category, Class 4(a). In simple terms: Canada agreed to stop playing the game, then largely continued it under another name.
That's not all. American exporters were also denied meaningful access to Canada’s dairy import quotas because much of that access was allocated to Canadian processors—their direct competitors.
Dairy Farmers of Canada and the dairy boards were looking for trouble. They shut out American protein, expanded Canadian protein exports and did so as the CUSMA review approached. That put a large target on the sector’s back. And now, they are worried.
And now, Canada is struggling to produce enough protein for its own processors due to high demand. Imports from the United States are reportedly rising, while excess butterfat is contributing to growing butter and cheese inventories. More milk could be dumped because farmers are reaching their production quotas.
After years of playing games, nobody should be surprised that Washington is targeting Canadian dairy. This confrontation was entirely predictable—and represents a major lost opportunity for Canadian dairy farmers.
We need to change supply management.
Great work from @bobmackin to highlight more public land transfers👇
Note: “Upon coming into effect, treaties and other incremental agreements will also trigger implementation costs and may result in compensation to third parties. Those costs are not determinable at this time.” 💸
It took two years to admit the harm of lockdowns on health & education.
And just like that, it took 18 months to admit that "Elbows Up" was unrealistic stupidity, manufactured for politics.
Meanwhile mainstreet and small to medium business are in shambles. Thank you Liberals!
