It was another crazy day at the British Columbia Legislature yesterday, with 1BC trying to get rid of Truth and Reconiliation Day as a holiday in British Columbia, and the opposition from the Tories, Greens and the Greens causing a complete meltdown in the House of Commons.
00:04:10.600So I don't know how much how that person would have voted.
00:04:13.320I think they were online and had a technical difficulty.
00:04:16.220Let's just assume they would have voted in favor of it.
00:04:18.280Just, you know, beef up the numbers there.
00:04:20.500But still, it's just absolutely wild just how strong the left-wing woke orthodoxy is inside the BC legislature.
00:04:29.860This is a holiday literally based on a lie.
00:04:32.760It was only made a holiday 10 days after the Kamloops Indian Residential School discovery of 215 graves.
00:04:40.780There are no graves, even the Kamloops band itself, who started out guns blazing, saying this is a mass grave, it's all murder, there's 215 bodies of children.
00:04:51.380Even they just call it anomalies on their website.
00:04:53.900Now, they effectively still go around implying their graves because, you know, they can't exactly admit that they were lying all this time.
00:05:01.060But even they can't use the strongest language anymore because it's clearly not true.
00:05:06.200In other places around Canada, because we got up to a number of, like, 3,500 children's graves potentially discovered around the country.
00:05:14.440All the places that actually dug and investigated found nothing.
00:05:17.920And sorry, it's not going to be any different in Kamloops for some reason if you really want there to be dead children there.
00:06:40.960And I don't think that this is anything that goes on to the level of the Holocaust or the Rwandan genocide or Cambodia or the great leap forward in China that killed 50 million people and whatnot.
00:06:52.040We haven't had the trail of tears and we have to stop pretending like there's any massive black mark in Canadian history that we can't go a single day without acknowledging.
00:07:09.400Everyone is pretty much there's been bad things that have happened, but it hasn't been to the national sin level that other countries have.
00:07:17.080But now I want to move on to Tara Armstrong's question.
00:07:21.760Now, this is a five-minute clip, so we're definitely not going to watch the entire thing.
00:07:25.580I just want to get to David Eby's freakout after her initial question.
00:07:30.340And then I just want to kind of explain a little bit more about just kind of the hypocrisy of Eby here.
00:07:35.860Because he eventually will bring up that, oh, my goodness, are you denying, are the 1BC party denying abuse happened?
00:07:43.040Whenever people bring that up, it's basically signaling they don't actually care about indigenous people.
00:07:48.880Indigenous people right now on reserves have extremely high crime rates.
00:07:53.080The level of academic achievement is low.
00:07:56.220The amount of substance abuse is very high.
00:07:59.080And the government doesn't do anything about it.
00:08:01.500So whenever David Eby comes out and says, well, you don't care because you don't care about abuses that would have happened in the residential school system, those people should have, like, if they weren't held responsible, that's horrible.
00:08:15.640They should be held to the fullest extent of the law and locked up forever.
00:08:19.140That stuff happens in our school system right now.
00:09:11.960This is effectively what a lot of bad government policy can do to a community.
00:09:16.340It can absolutely decimate a community when you don't let there be individual property rights on reserves.
00:09:23.020Reserves effectively act as mini-Soviet states where you don't get to own anything.
00:09:28.380There's no jobs because who the heck would ever want to work on one of them where you don't even really own the ground that the company is based on.
00:09:57.220This morning, I'll be reading from the holy scriptures of the United Nations Declarations on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
00:10:05.180If you have it with you, please turn to Article 26.
00:10:08.560And for context, if you don't know, UNDRIP, the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, was put into provincial law through the mechanism of DRIPA, which is the Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act.
00:10:23.100It's just one-to-one, copy and pasted UNDRIP onto provincial law.
00:10:27.360It is the only jurisdiction on the planet that has done this because it's the only jurisdiction with people crazy enough to do it.
00:10:33.440Indigenous Peoples have the rights to the lands, territories, and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied, or otherwise used or acquired.
00:10:45.800That is such a crazy standard for property ownership that you have, Aboriginal title extends to not just every square inch of British Columbia, but it also actually extends to, I heard, around 115% of BC because there are some indigenous groups who will claim the same land that another indigenous group was claiming.
00:11:08.060But that's obviously 100% of it's now effectively owned by indigenous people because how could you possibly not, if you existed in an area and just walked around it as a group of people long enough, you've probably used or existed around or occupied pretty much every square inch.
00:11:55.500And it's still silly even if you're in British Columbia.
00:11:58.800Mr. Speaker, if I'm not mistaken, that's all the land.
00:12:03.320That's the land under 150 private homes in Richmond.
00:12:09.140That's the land under the homes of 100,000 Kamloops residents.
00:12:14.820That's the land under your very own feet.
00:12:18.300Mr. Speaker, can the Premier point to any place in British Columbia that was not traditionally owned, occupied, used, or otherwise acquired by BC's indigenous people?
00:12:30.240I love the opening here from David Eby.
00:12:53.160It is a very unfortunate position given the history in this place where indigenous people are specifically excluded from participating, voting, displaced from lands where they were.
00:13:06.220And by the way, the not allowed to vote thing and serve, that was more of a consequence of the way that many agreements or just the way that the culture was back in the day that, oh, that's a different nation.
00:13:17.320So, of course, you don't vote in BC because you're part of, you know, the Kamloops band.
00:13:23.780And so you have your own representatives and whatnot.
00:13:28.220And, yeah, it's good that they end up changing that.
00:13:30.260But they end up taking these things and acting like it was like some like an incredible bigotry on par with on par with what Jim Crow were subject to a biological attack with smallpox.
00:13:44.120Someone has to get this man a tinfoil hat because that's a conspiracy theory.
00:13:49.520We didn't even know about germ theory really until around World War I.
00:13:53.060And he thinks that Canada, and this really demonstrates how thin the argument is that Canada is like an evil country, that somehow Canada deliberately used biological warfare to kill indigenous people.
00:14:05.500That's just not something that I've ever heard claimed anywhere.
00:14:17.340Children died to have to endure for those members, for members in this house, for indigenous, for people.
00:14:25.600He doesn't care about indigenous people.
00:14:27.700He doesn't care that there are high crime rates on reserves where children are being abused, where people are dying of overdoses, where you can't get a job because of just how bad the economic policies are.
00:14:41.740He just pretends to care when it comes to historical things, but he couldn't care less about the things he's doing today that makes life unbearable for indigenous people under the guise of helping them.
