#DRIPA architect Murray Rankin endorses Mayor #MarianneAlto at her re-election launch, held in a publicly funded reconciliation hub. The press in #Victoria ignored that and focused on housing. Full article on our substack. bcpoliticswatch.substack.com…
A BC Court of Appeal ruling (Gitxaała) changed how Indigenous-rights law applies across BC. The government says 20 active court cases now invoke it, and cites that number to justify an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. It won't say which 20 cases. #DRIPA#Gitxaala
The riding now held by Diana Gibson, the minister narrowing FOI, was Murray Rankin's. Rankin was the minister who brought in DRIPA.
When the NDP nominated Gibson to replace him, Premier Eby said she would "build on Murray's excellent work."
Same riding. Same file. Same party.
Freedom of Information exists so the public can see how the law is changing. The Gitxaała decision is cited in court rulings on CanLII. The government says 20 active cases now deploy it, then refuses to say it. The tool meant to show us is the one being narrowed. @Adam_Stirling
Before politics, Gibson co-founded and led the Firelight Group, the government's own bio calls it Canada's largest Indigenous-owned consulting firm, in the same policy space this litigation concerns.
It's a paid provincial vendor: $118,447 in the 24-25 Public Accounts. @cosminDZS
Dotan Rousso writes, "Canada’s political leaders have spent decades insisting that culture is largely irrelevant to immigration."

BC NDP MLA & David Eby's caucus lieutenant Rohini Arora wants you to be ashamed of calling yourself a British Columbian or a Canadian and instead identify as "colonizer"
BC is done with the NDP shame tactics, we have an incredible heritage to be proud of
Note - We have some guy trolling us. We're not interested in engaging. DGAF. If you have something to correct and it's a fact check issue, send us an email. Our pages are not some open chat for you to vent on behalf of your incompetent buddies or rant about editorial decisions.
Let us say hello - We are a civic accountability publication based in Victoria BC. We believe everything that happens in Victoria, affects British Columbians. Our city is used as a testing ground for extreme left ideology and scaled up across the province. bcpoliticswatch.substack.com
This MLA is critiquing Canadian Old Age Pension. Here is a reminder of her hatred for Canadians who built this country. Burnaby, you elected this. @cosminDZSinstagram.com/reel/DXpCquXEl…
@KerryLynneFindl@BCConservCaucus Little throwback to this gem of MLA Arora showing her open hatred for Canadians. The same Canadians who all deserve old age pensions.
