00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 449 AM. It is Wednesday, August the 12th. Great to have
00:00:08.720 you here today. Thank you so much for clicking on this video. And it said you get the government
00:00:16.140 you deserve. But you have to ask yourself if the people of British Columbia deserve David
00:00:22.900 Eby and his government. Well, I guess, I guess they do. They keep voting for these left-wing
00:00:29.940 governments. They voted for David Eby. So I guess they deserve what they're getting here.
00:00:34.380 You know, it's fascinating. I think in land area, most of the land area of British Columbia would
00:00:39.820 be considered conservative, but there's very few people in those areas that elect David Eby's
00:00:46.460 government. Most of the people who vote for David Eby are in the lower mainland, Victoria,
00:00:50.500 Vancouver and it has a real bad effect on what's going on in British Columbia. We're going to get
00:00:56.140 to the story in just a moment. And you got to be careful because you think this kind of thing can't
00:01:02.280 happen where you live and all of a sudden it does. There's a saying slowly and then all at once. And
00:01:08.180 this is kind of hitting all at once in British Columbia. Although people have been warning about
00:01:13.420 this thing for ages. In fact, another federal politician was talking about this about a month
00:01:19.740 ago, and you've been hearing these stories kind of eke out over the last year or so,
00:01:24.120 and the story is this one right here. And the fascinating thing about this headline here
00:01:29.480 is that you see headlines like this regularly now coming out of British Columbia, and you don't bat
00:01:35.140 an eye at it. As absurd as this is, as ridiculous as this is, as obscene as this is, you don't even 0.96
00:01:44.500 bat an eye. You know, you read the comments on this story, BC's Hatley Castle, parcels of downtown 0.96
00:01:50.800 Victoria, among lands earmarked for transfer to First Nations. People are outraged that this kind
00:01:56.460 of thing is happening, but they're not surprised about it because all of the negotiating power is
00:02:01.800 on the side of the First Nations now. You know, when you're part of the BC legislature, and this
00:02:08.320 is the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia on their homepage, and right over here on the
00:02:12.680 right-hand side, you basically say the land that the parliament building's on belonged to somebody
00:02:17.600 else. What do you expect to happen, folks? Now, I'm not going to read this article to you. I'm not
00:02:25.120 surprised by this article. It's outrageous. Here's a short clip from Global News.
00:02:30.240 There's Hatley Castle and Royal Roads University campus, waterfront in Victoria, property next to
00:02:37.720 legislature discovery island provincial park and souk mountain provincial park in total about 334
00:02:45.800 000 acres of crown land may be transferred to five vancouver island first nations finalizing treaties
00:02:53.720 this is a betrayal of our core democracy here in british columbia british colombians as a whole all
00:03:01.560 of us own this province we should have a say approximately 30 parcels of crown land would
00:03:08.200 be transferred to the nations so you might be thinking how is this possible how can this be
00:03:12.920 happening and then you think well it is british columbia after all it is canada
00:03:18.120 we're not surprised by this really you read these articles it happens regularly now i wanted to show
00:03:24.040 you kind of give you some perspective here how much land we're talking about if we were to overlay
00:03:29.560 the land they're talking about in that story, how much of British Columbia? Well, here it is right
00:03:34.700 here. Now, you might be thinking, now move this down over here towards Vancouver. You might be
00:03:39.240 thinking this isn't a lot of land, but think about recent rulings. Think about the Cowichan ruling.
00:03:44.760 You heard about that recently. Think about Haida Gwaii. Now we're getting big, folks. Two and a
00:03:50.100 half million acres of British Columbia so far, because more of these are coming down the road. 1.00
00:03:55.080 and you won't be surprised when most of British Columbia is completely taken over by Indigenous 1.00
00:03:59.560 groups. But it's not as if we haven't been warned about this. It isn't. Only a month ago, 1.00
00:04:06.600 a federal politician was warning about this. I think this is a great wedge issue for conservatives
00:04:11.360 in this country. Pierre Polyev, the liberals support UNDRIP. The conservatives, the only
00:04:16.560 party, I think, to vote against UNDRIP. The United Nations Declaration of Rights of Indigenous
00:04:22.180 as people, if I remember the acronym correctly. But I think this is a great wedge issue. People
00:04:26.560 think this is unfair. People think it's outrageous. People think this is wrong. And it's happening
00:04:32.060 more and more often. And don't think it can't come to you. And it won't affect you. And nothing's
00:04:36.080 going to happen to this land. There's this story right here. Let me just bring this up.
00:04:42.220 This ran in the National Post back in March. Your private property may not be safe from
00:04:47.540 Aboriginal title court cases, Dwight Newman discusses the consequences of the Cowichan
00:04:53.140 ruling and the Musqueam deal. This is spreading and it could come to where you're living in Canada
00:04:58.600 very soon. I get concerned about these things. One of the reasons, you know, I think it's important
00:05:03.000 for Alberta independence, but this is a great wedge issue. Here's Pierre Pauly of talking
00:05:06.720 about a month ago about this. UNDRIP threatens Canada's parliamentary sovereignty, rule of law,
00:05:12.740 resource development, and property rights. The B.C. government has already found itself in high
00:05:18.780 profile court cases because it has adopted UNDRIP through the DRIPA law. By implementing an agreement
00:05:25.920 that appeals to UNDRIP as the authoritative source, the Kearney liberals would elevate
00:05:32.420 UNDRIP from policy commitment to legally binding guidelines, threatening your home,
00:05:36.740 and threatening resource projects. Has Pierre Pauly have got the guts to make this a wedge
00:05:42.620 issue with the liberals? They'd be forced to defend this kind of thing. And I think most
00:05:47.780 Canadians would think this is ridiculous. I think it's ridiculous. I mean, even the BC conservatives 0.99
00:05:53.020 wanted indigenous rights law on drip repealed. The chief pushes back. They claimed that they
00:05:58.680 would blockade the province. So this isn't going back now. This land has been turned over to them.
00:06:03.560 It's never going back to its rightful owner here, folks, which are the people of British Columbia. 0.51
00:06:07.780 Here's John Rustad playing dress up. You got to play dress up, folks. This is one of the reasons
00:06:13.160 why I can't be a politician. You have to be disingenuous. He supported on DRIP. It says
00:06:18.240 right here, John Rustad threw his support behind the legislation as a member of the official
00:06:22.720 opposition. But then he wanted to repeal the law afterwards. You look at Carrie Lynn Finley,
00:06:28.780 who's now the leader of the British Columbia Conservatives. 24 million acres, a vast swath
00:06:34.680 of British Columbia that's larger than Portugal. That's what's at stake here. And this is only the
00:06:39.800 beginning. There will be nothing left of BC by the time the NDP are finished with their plan to
00:06:44.780 give away land that rightfully belongs to the people of British Columbia. You remember, 24
00:06:50.140 million acres. We started here, then we got to here. This is 24 million acres, folks, overlaid
00:06:56.180 on British Columbia. It's almost the whole province. Now you might be thinking, well,
00:07:01.860 I mean, nothing's going to change. You hand this land over to these people, they're not going to
00:07:05.860 do anything with it. It's not as if they're going to close down things. It's not as if they're going
00:07:09.900 to take control of buildings and property and private property. It's not as if that's going
00:07:14.220 to happen. It's not as if they're going to start closing parks. A popular BC park is facing
00:07:19.760 closures in the coming months as local First Nations reconnect with the land. The Lilwen and
00:07:25.340 Nkwakwa nations have announced that Joffrey Lakes Park will be closed to visitors from June 13th to 27th
00:07:31.920 and from August 22nd to October 23rd.
00:07:35.240 We have to take care of, you know, the lands and that is our responsibility.
00:07:41.240 The Okamilk, that's what it is, is people of the lands.
00:07:45.360 We have laws that come with that, so, you know, we have to uphold those.
00:07:50.200 Paying respects to the land and there's harvesting of medicines, foods,
00:07:54.480 and, you know, the cultural practices of bathing.
00:07:59.180 I was thinking while I was watching that,
00:08:01.200 I'm wondering how Chief Nelson and his people
00:08:04.720 check the racial purity of people
00:08:07.700 trying to enter Joffrey Lakes Park during these shutdowns.
00:08:11.140 What do they do?
00:08:11.780 Do they have somebody at the gate walking up to people?
00:08:14.880 Are you white? 0.97
00:08:17.580 Well, you're white. 1.00
00:08:18.620 You can't enter the park. 1.00
00:08:19.960 There's got to be some kind of lawsuit here
00:08:21.960 for racial discrimination.
00:08:23.780 But then again, when it comes to these people, the laws really don't apply.
00:08:27.400 And you know, Chief Nelson, you know, we need to close the park
00:08:30.180 because we've got to get our medicines and our foods and bathed.
00:08:34.200 Do you really think Chief Nelson, when he gets a rash,
00:08:37.020 he runs off to Joffrey Lakes Park to get his medicines?
00:08:40.540 Now, he's running off to the general practitioner like the rest of us.
00:08:43.580 And here's the thing.
00:08:44.840 These people say they want reconciliation, reconciliation, reconciliation.
00:08:50.040 We renamed a bridge in Calgary to Reconciliation Bridge
00:08:53.800 because they want reconciliation.
00:08:57.040 Is this the kind of thing?
00:08:58.620 Let me show you the map again.
00:09:00.300 Is this the kind of thing that leads us to reconciliation?
00:09:03.980 No, this leads to bitterness, folks.
00:09:08.120 I have a saying.
00:09:10.620 There will never be reconciliation as long as the grift continues.
00:09:15.380 And folks, this is the ultimate grift,
00:09:17.680 and it's coming to your neighborhood if you're not careful. Slowly and then all at once.
