Although the B.C. government continues to blame US tariffs for the collapse of the province’s forest sector, a new task force commissioned by Ottawa says the main problems lie in government policies closer to home. @RobShaw_BC for @BeatNorthern

During the @Conservative_BC leadership race, senior party & caucus members predicted the winner would be the next premier of BC. Time will tell if @KerryLynneFindl has what it takes to lead her party to form government. My latest for @BeatNorthern

Previously, @Dave_Eby refused to disclose the 20 cases he said were amended following the December court ruling that struck down a BC aw as inconsistent with DRIPA. Last night, the premier revealed two of those cases, writes @RobShaw_BC for @BeatNorthern

Since neither the Feds nor BC argued extinguishment, Richmond's argument was weakened, accordinging to some Aboriginal law experts. While @NikiSharma2 & @davideby say they're ardent defenders of private property, they can't point to any concrete actions to back that up. Nine mons after Cowichan, @bcndp govt has yet to file an actual appeal.

In BC, @NikiSharma2 asked in question period about this, as several NDP cabinet ministers shake their heads as if it’s a stupid question.
She says Richmond argued extinguishemnt in Cowichan case and was unsuccessful. BC and fed govs did not.
