Summary

A member of the BC NDP government thinks that First Nations people are an "uninvited guest" in Canada and that only legitimate Canadians are First Nations Canadians. She also says that she's a "Colonizer" and a "Settler" and that she should leave Canada because she's guilty of being a "colonizer." What's the difference between being a settler and a colonizer?

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. I have to show you a clip from the British Columbia legislature last
00:00:06.440 week that I think fully encapsulates just how stupid Canadian politics can get. I assume the
00:00:12.940 vast majority of you watching this video right now are Canadian citizens. But a member of the
00:00:19.460 BCNDP government would disagree. She thinks that you are an uninvited guest and the only legitimate
00:00:26.180 Canadians are First Nations Canadians. The really funny thing is the person saying this isn't even
00:00:32.040 First Nations. So they're like standing up and like martyring themselves saying that I shouldn't even
00:00:37.020 be here, but I'm going to stay and I'll hold on to all my property, but I'm going to condemn myself
00:00:41.420 because that's what we do in hyper-progressive provinces like British Columbia. Although I
00:00:47.160 disagree with that, I actually don't think British Columbia is that left-wing and progressive. I think
00:00:52.140 it's more so that the progressives have organized very well in BC politics and have been able to
00:00:57.340 control the province for well over a decade now. You could easily get a very conservative government
00:01:02.240 in BC, but that leads me to the other thing about this clip I'm out to show you. The BC conservatives
00:01:07.860 are being so manipulative in opposing what she is saying. Should you oppose what this woman is saying?
00:01:13.700 Yes, it's absolutely bat crap crazy. At the same time, they're like disagreeing with it. At the same
00:01:20.060 time, they actually 100% agree with her. If you look at the words and actions of BC conservative
00:01:26.020 MLAs, they're playing kind of like an inside outside game in the BC conservative party run by
00:01:31.460 the absolutely cowardly John Rustad. A BC NDP person or some radical left-wing activist will say
00:01:39.060 something insane. They'll say, those particular words are insane. And then they will basically do
00:01:46.360 the same insane stuff, but with more conservative red meat rhetoric. No Canadians, we're not settlers,
00:01:53.820 we're Canadians, we're British Columbians. Also, we're very in favor of DRIPA, and we think every
00:01:58.920 single project should be subject to First Nations ban veto. Good job, John. Anyways, before I get into
00:02:06.000 the video, guys, if you like my show, please drop a like on the video, subscribe if you're not yet a
00:02:10.860 subscriber, and then leave a comment on what you think on this. It's going to be a big ball of yarn.
00:02:16.380 I'm going to kind of untangle in front of you guys here. So comment on whatever aspect you think is
00:02:21.560 particularly interesting to you. But here's the statement, which was first posted by the BC
00:02:27.680 independent MLA, Dallas Brody.
00:02:30.320 A few weeks ago, in estimates, I heard the member for Columbia River, Revelstoke,
00:02:35.840 expressed discomfort with the terms settler, uninvited guest, and colonizer. That prompted me
00:02:44.540 to deeply reflect on where these terms come from, and why they matter. Even if we didn't personally
00:02:52.320 cause colonization, we live in a country shaped by it. That's why many non-Indigenous people,
00:02:59.640 including myself, use the term settler. Nobody does. You mean leftists do that.
00:03:07.500 Leftists use those terms. Sorry the video is a little bit quiet. This is as loud as I can get
00:03:12.100 the clip. But one, I have to say, please don't wear colors, like, don't wear shades of this type of
00:03:18.720 purple. It's terrible. Anyways, also, I hate the way she's presenting this already. It's kind of this
00:03:24.980 performative, quizzical, sixth-grade girl doing a book presentation. Some people out there don't
00:03:32.000 like the word settler. Well, let's explore that. It's like, no, let's not explore that. Your point's
00:03:36.800 dumb.
00:03:37.900 Uninvited guest, or for white folks who self-describe as colonizer. It reminds us that we are here
00:03:45.500 because of a colonial system that still impacts Indigenous communities today. Through historically
00:03:52.800 underfunded services, title rights, over-colesing, boil water advisories, the legacy of residential
00:04:01.220 schools. It goes on like this, but she's just wrong. I think we can just say that she's deeply wrong
00:04:07.780 about British Columbia and Canada. And also, if she feels guilty of being a colonizer,
00:04:14.240 about being a settler, about being an uninvited guest, she can leave. Go move somewhere else. Go
00:04:20.480 back to wherever your particular ancestors came from. I think Canada should be an open society
00:04:27.300 where people who want to be Canadian are allowed to show up and be Canadian. That's why our current
00:04:31.640 immigration system sucks, because we get a bunch of people who could care less about Canada showing
00:04:36.120 up for a job because there's money, and then they're either going to leave eventually, or they're just
00:04:40.720 going to stick around here and try and turn their patch of Canada into wherever home was. We see
00:04:46.440 that all over the place with literal street fights by people from Eritrea or whatever going on. It's
00:04:51.700 ridiculous. Who the heck allowed this to go on? You don't get to bring tribal fights from home to this
00:04:57.300 country. But that's not what we're talking about today. This was insane. This was absolutely insane.
00:05:03.040 And the fact that the BC NDP let her stand up and say this is just political malpractice. I'm just
00:05:09.920 putting on my BC NDP hat right now. I couldn't stand them. I'm conservative. In fact, I'm conservative
00:05:15.840 to the point where I don't put up with the fake conservatism of the BC conservatives. Most of their
00:05:21.140 MLAs are good, but the BC conservatives are being led by woke scolds, basically. Most of them could do good
00:05:27.560 stuff if they weren't under the thumb of John Rustad, Alia Warbus, Eleanor Sturko, Amelia Boltby,
00:05:34.160 and people like that, Peter Milibar, Scott McInnes. If those people were gone, Gavin Dew, you might
00:05:39.460 actually be able to get a conservative party. But that's beside the point. Let's pretend that I'm
00:05:44.280 BC NDP at this point. You won the last election off of the backs of a lot of liberal voters, a lot of
00:05:51.520 older liberal voters who, while they are not conservative, are not going to put up with stuff like this.
00:05:57.180 Again, this is the elbows up crowd. Why would you get up and basically say, you know, you guys are
00:06:03.060 scum, right? You know, you're a colonizer and an undivided guest, right? Like, oh my goodness,
00:06:08.220 divest yourself of your base as fast as possible. I welcome it. But if I was running the BC NDP,
00:06:14.940 goodness, I would put this lady on an ice float and push her out to sea. Because this is an extremely
00:06:19.940 easy way of losing your moderate middle voters, because every single party has to basically be able
00:06:25.840 keep its middle intact. Middle voters don't mean non-ideological voters. It means a voter who,
00:06:32.040 if you get a little bit too crazy with the rhetoric, they're going to get turned off
00:06:36.100 pretty quickly. Even if it's not something that's guiding your actual policy, they'll get really
00:06:40.900 kind of like, I'm not a colonizer and I don't want to vote for your party. But anyways, now I want to
00:06:47.200 get to some of the responses to this. Because I found the way the conservatives have been reacting to
00:06:53.040 this to be endlessly annoying. First, let's check out this thing that the conservatives just posted
00:06:58.980 yesterday. This post pretending like they are against this rhetoric. So the BC Conservative Party
00:07:06.060 says, there are no settlers or uninvited guests. There are just British Columbians. This province belongs
00:07:12.460 to all of us. Let's build it together. And it's John Rustad's op-ed that it links to at the Vancouver Sun.
00:07:17.600 And it has, there are no settlers quote from him. There are only British Columbians. John Rustad,
00:07:22.680 what a powerful statement. Didn't he kick out Dallas Brody, the lady who he was in fact copying
00:07:31.280 the post of because she was the first one to post that clip of that NDP MLA, condemn what she said
00:07:36.280 and call it out for how crazy it was. He literally copied her to the point where they actually took my
00:07:41.260 clip of it because I work for Tara Armstrong and I had ended up clipping that video and gave it to
00:07:46.420 Dallas because she wanted it clipped. They literally posted my clipping of the video after
00:07:50.580 Dallas had already sounded off about it. So the BC Conservatives were not planning on talking about that
00:07:55.480 until Dallas Brody talked about it. But John kicked her out of the party for calling out the nonsense
00:08:00.700 of the Graves hoax at the Kamloops residential school. There are not 215 dead bodies there.
00:08:06.620 Even John has acknowledged that post kicking her out. And now he's going to tell us that we need to
00:08:12.020 stop the culture wars and cancel culture and we need to stand up for British Columbians.
00:08:17.460 His entire party is in favor of special rights depending on your ethnicity. One of them the
00:08:24.900 other day stood up to champion, I'm not even kidding, a $32 million taxpayer funded museum for South Asian
00:08:33.880 Canadians. And yes, I don't want that. I don't want a South Asian Canadian museum. I don't want a
00:08:39.680 Chinese Canadian museum. I don't want a British Canadian museum, an Irish Canadian museum. You
00:08:44.080 could have it, but it shouldn't be funded by taxpayers if it's not just general history. If
00:08:48.840 it's not just regional history or BC cultural history. If it's one specific group where we're
00:08:55.420 going to skip through history to grab this person and we'll skip this few years and oh, there's someone
00:09:00.600 from this group. That's not a real history museum that taxpayers should be funding. It's a interest group
00:09:05.920 museum. And this is also stuff the BC conservatives are saying. So they're opposed to the idea that BCers,
00:09:13.080 British Columbians are settlers. That's divisive. But we're still in favor of DRIPA, which is basically
00:09:21.160 the BC government's legislated version of the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People.
00:09:27.080 DRIPA basically allows ban councils to stop projects all day long. It gives a lot of other special benefits
00:09:32.000 to people who are First Nations. It does make them a higher level of British Columbian. And this is
00:09:39.000 something that a BC conservative MLA said, the house leader, in fact, at Alia Warbus.
00:09:43.920 There needs to be a recognition that it be afforded the time it takes to have the alignment with DRIPA
00:09:59.280 and that Indigenous leaders are going to be on side with any changes to legislation that's going to
00:10:07.960 affect them. That's very clear. She said this, and it's not just her. I will pull up other examples.
00:10:15.060 You could say maybe she is just a radical who got into the party, but this is not actually
00:10:19.900 representative of what the party believes. Well, this happened just a couple of days ago. In the midst
00:10:24.960 of John's op-ed, Peter Milibar, one of their guys from Kamloops, a conservative MLA, Peter Milibar,
00:10:32.480 says, I sincerely wonder what the three BC NDP caucus members, who are all strong Indigenous
00:10:38.460 leaders, think about having to toe the voting line that EB demands. I spoke to this in my Bill 15
00:10:44.320 debate. If EB truly thinks he has the support of his caucus, allow a free vote on Bill 15 and 14.
00:10:50.120 My goodness. So he's making a racial argument that shouldn't the three BC NDP Indigenous MLAs
00:10:57.140 not like Bill 14 and 15, because it's trampling all over First Nations land title. One, guys,
00:11:03.760 Bill 14 and 15 are bad bills. But they're, frankly, even those bills, as much as they suck,
00:11:10.520 are technically better than the status quo. Now, I work with the three independent MLAs,
00:11:15.480 and between the intolerable status quo and these crappy bills, they were just not going to vote.
00:11:20.340 The NDP can pass them anyways, so why even get involved? So, but the conservatives,
00:11:25.560 people like Peter Milibar, were getting up and basically saying these bills suck because they
00:11:31.340 don't enforce environmental regulations hard enough. They don't give enough veto power to
00:11:36.340 Indigenous bands. What? Is this a conservative party? So this is what I hate. When the BC conservatives
00:11:43.000 get up and they say, we don't like this MLA's rhetoric about everyone being uninvited guests.
00:11:48.200 That's gross. Everyone's a British Columbian. And then they're in favor of DRIPA,
00:11:53.680 and then they argue against Bill 14 and 15, because they don't have enough. They're not
00:12:00.160 like blocking projects enough. They don't allow Indigenous band councils that only represent like
00:12:05.400 a few hundred people to be able to block pipelines and mines and forestry projects.
00:12:10.320 Here's another BC conservative MLA, Scott McInnes. Here is him arguing against 14 and 15.
00:12:16.520 Do you live in small town BC? What was the last time the premier spent any significant time in your
00:12:22.120 community? Here in rural British Columbia, where it's already hard enough to get infrastructure
00:12:26.200 projects moved to the front of the line, Bill 15 will most certainly make it that much harder.
00:12:31.560 That's literally not even true. I don't like Bill 15. That is a ridiculously asinine position on
00:12:38.600 Bill 15. He'll even contradict himself in the next few seconds here because he doesn't know what he's
00:12:42.800 doing. Bill 15 essentially allows the government to handpick projects for infrastructure that it
00:12:48.640 deems as provincially significant. No oversight, no discussion, no accountability.
00:12:54.720 So he, and this is why people like Scott McInnes, and I have tapes of him in the legislature getting
00:13:00.080 up and saying, First Nation bands don't like this because it doesn't allow them to have veto power.
00:13:03.760 It doesn't allow them to have endless consultations. It doesn't have enough environmental
00:13:07.680 oversights. Sorry, does the bill slow down infrastructure projects or does it speed them up?
00:13:13.920 Because my problem with the bill was the first, was the second part. It handpicks projects the
00:13:19.280 province likes, and I don't think that's right. You should have to fast track all projects in a region,
00:13:24.320 which we are trying to get done in an amendment as the three independent MLAs. Jordan Keeley, Dallas
00:13:30.560 Brody and Tara Armstrong are going to try and put forward amendments that universalize the bill to just
00:13:35.440 be mass deregulation. And that's it. The EB in his cabinet don't get to pick that project and that
00:13:40.320 project, but not the other ones. So he's saying that the bill is going to make it harder to build,
00:13:45.680 but it actually lets the government fast track projects it likes. Okay, well, what's the,
00:13:49.840 what's your point here, Scott? This is not what good governance is. Bill 15
00:13:55.280 has completely sidelined local governments. It has completely sidelined the voice of First Nations.
00:14:00.720 The Premier needs to listen to British Columbians. The opposition to Bill 15 is significant. I'm
00:14:06.480 urging the Premier to reconsider and pull Bill 15 off the table. The problem is that he and the
00:14:12.400 Conservatives are not opposing Bill 15 from the right. They are opposing Bill 15 from the left.
00:14:18.480 They are literally joining with the BC Greens to make arguments I only thought the BC Greens would make,
00:14:24.640 basically saying these bills should be even like the project process needs to even be more hamstrung
00:14:30.960 by consultations. I don't like 1415 because they're arbitrary. 14 only applies to renewable
00:14:37.840 projects, fast tracking those. That's why we're going to try and amend it, that it has to apply to
00:14:41.680 all types of energy projects and resource projects. And that again, they can't pick winners and losers.
00:14:46.480 They have to say, we fast track all projects in this region. And that's how it works. They can't just
00:14:51.040 say that one and not that one. But then the Conservatives are basically saying, no, no, no,
00:14:55.200 we want everything to be slow forever because they're just opposing stuff blindly without actually
00:15:00.320 thinking through what their argument is. Some other stuff we got going on here. Actually,
00:15:05.520 know what? Let's talk about something positive. Know who's actually doing something positive? Well,
00:15:09.840 not shockingly, it's Dallas Brody again, one of the independent MLAs. She is rolling out and I
00:15:15.360 encourage you all to go and check it out if you're in British Columbia and sign the petition.
00:15:19.360 It's dropdripa.ca to get rid of the Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People that is blocking
00:15:25.520 all projects. It's a ridiculous piece of legislation that centralizes power in the hands of very few
00:15:31.440 people who are incentivized to basically be obstinate because they can then sign a deal that may give them
00:15:36.400 financial benefits to their local government. And these are oftentimes governments who are already
00:15:41.440 getting tens of millions to over hundreds of millions of dollars in communities where there's
00:15:47.040 only like, again, a few hundred people on some of these reserves. But here is Dallas Brody talking
00:15:51.840 about it. Hi, Dallas Brody here. In 2019, David Eby, John Rustad and every other MLA in the legislature
00:15:59.760 passed the most racist and radical law in British Columbia's history. It's called the Declaration on the
00:16:05.840 Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, more commonly known as DRIPA. DRIPA entrenches the racial divisions
00:16:12.960 between Indigenous and non-Indigenous British Columbians. How does it do that? Well, first,
00:16:18.400 DRIPA transfers public and private lands to Indigenous bands who are not accountable to BC laws,
00:16:25.040 to BC voters, or even to their own members. And she's absolutely right. There was a situation that
00:16:31.760 happened on Haida Gwaii, which I've been told it was renamed. I actually, I'm not from BC, so I didn't
00:16:37.360 remember that it was like Queen Charlotte Island or something like that before. I probably butchered
00:16:41.760 that and I probably didn't even say the right name. But she is right. You can do whatever you want,
00:16:45.840 even to other Indigenous people. There were some people who were not even associated in a nasty way,
00:16:51.680 were family members related to somebody who was a drug dealer on Haida Gwaii. That person was punished,
00:16:57.280 arrested or something. But then the ban council just decided, the community just decided, let's
00:17:02.000 bulldoze the houses of people that were related to this person and drive them out. And guess what?
00:17:07.440 The province hasn't done anything about it because they can't do anything about it. They're allowed
00:17:11.440 to do it. It's their land. And the people who owned those homes, they're uninvited guests, even if
00:17:16.880 they were Indigenous. They are uninvited guests because it's not their land. It's the ban council's land.
00:17:21.120 British Columbia is a great example of why Soviet socialism doesn't work. Because all 200 ban
00:17:29.200 councils basically act like Russian Soviets, where it doesn't matter if you're Indigenous or
00:17:34.160 non-Indigenous. If you have a foreign, a logging project that you want started, if you want to open
00:17:38.640 up a mine, the ban council can just say no. It's not like you're Indigenous so you can do it. No,
00:17:43.440 no, no, ban council just says no and that's it. And so I think that that's why it's absolutely a good
00:17:48.240 idea to be getting rid of DRIPA. Second, DRIPA gives veto powers to BC's 200 plus bans over
00:17:55.920 government decisions, blocking approvals for resource development, infrastructure and other
00:18:01.120 areas of our economy. Third, DRIPA dictates that all BC laws, all laws, be rewritten to conform with
00:18:10.080 Indigenous laws, even though many of these laws are unwritten myths, cultural practices that are not
00:18:16.080 compatible with a democratic rules-based society. DRIPA is the reason why Wet'suwet'en chiefs
00:18:22.000 expelled law-abiding workers from the LNG Canada pipeline project. DRIPA is the reason why Haida
00:18:29.280 leaders demolished the homes of citizens recently who had committed no crime. DRIPA is the reason why
00:18:35.280 provincial parks are being closed to the non-Indigenous public. Every British Columbian should
00:18:40.000 have the same rights and the same opportunities, including Indigenous British Columbians living in
00:18:45.600 poverty on reserves without charter rights or the ability to own private property.
00:18:50.800 That's again, something that people don't know. Oftentimes it's not like, oh no, Indigenous
00:18:55.200 people get to own private property on Indigenous land. No, no, the ban council does. Indigenous
00:18:59.760 people don't own anything. That's the problem. This is actually why all these things are kind of
00:19:03.840 racist to Indigenous people. It's basically treating them like they're incapable and they must have a
00:19:08.480 government manage everything for them, whether it's the local ban council, the federal government or the
00:19:12.880 provincial government. But now I want to move on to one other thing. So in the midst of all this,
00:19:18.960 where are some of the woke MLAs? Where's Alia Warbus? She follows me, by the way. I think she does
00:19:25.600 secretly like me, even though she attacks me quite a bit now. But where was, I'm just going to scroll
00:19:31.040 through. Where's, where's her sharing John Rustad's op-ed? Where is that? She didn't share this one
00:19:37.120 about Indigenous leaders saying 14 and 15 need to be, need to go because, you know, they're not pro-Indigenous
00:19:42.560 enough. She'd do this. Where was she? We even called her out for being in favor of DRIPA. She said that we
00:19:48.960 are wrong about what she said. But then when we followed up and asked her to then condemn DRIPA and say
00:19:54.240 that she would want it repealed, nothing. Has John said that he wants DRIPA repealed? No. Has any MLA
00:20:01.280 come forward since Warbus said that, well, the bill 14 and 15 are bad because they are not honoring
00:20:08.400 DRIPA enough. They are not taking the time to fall in line with DRIPA. Not a single one of them has
00:20:13.120 dared stand up and say anything different because she's basically the one who owns that issue now for
00:20:17.280 the party. And although the BC Conservatives ran on repealing DRIPA, I guess they're just not going to do
00:20:22.160 that anymore. And this is on multiple fronts. They're not in favor of cutting taxes, really.
00:20:26.320 I don't even know a tax they even ran on cutting. They were like running on rebates, but rebates are
00:20:31.200 not tax cuts. You have to do something to get the rebate. They don't really oppose SOGI 123 anymore.
00:20:37.520 It's more so that they just think that age inappropriate books should be removed from
00:20:41.360 libraries. And let's be clear, they're not age inappropriate. They are sexually inappropriate.
00:20:44.880 Nobody at any age should be reading this garbage. And SOGI should not be taught in any classroom,
00:20:49.360 no matter what age the kids are. I know it's not curriculum, but it's like basically an
00:20:53.840 anti-bullying pedagogy or whatever you would call it. It's still basically allowing them to bring in
00:21:01.680 more kind of like woke gender theory into the classroom to teach. It's bad. It's just overall
00:21:06.960 a very foolish thing for them to have in any school. But now the Conservatives just say it's age
00:21:11.760 inappropriate. So I guess if we only limit it to middle school and on, then it's okay. Or it has to,
00:21:16.640 not under the under grade three. Tons of issues. They've just dropped. They just don't care
00:21:22.480 much about getting resources developed. Now, apparently they have the same position as the NDP,
00:21:27.280 that first environmental activist groups and band councils must be honored before we
00:21:32.240 put any shovels into the ground to dig a new mine. But yeah, so they'll just keep opposing NDP rhetoric,
00:21:39.280 but at the same time, they don't actually disagree with the direction of the NDP. And when they do,
00:21:44.560 it's because the NDP is not being harsh enough when it comes to subjecting the BC economy to like
00:21:50.240 putting it under the thumb of band councils who can just say no whenever. Anyways, all this stuff
00:21:55.760 annoys me to no end. But I will be linking in the description below as well as pinned at the top of
00:22:00.800 the comments to drop DRIPA petition. Make sure to sign it if you're in BC and you oppose DRIPA. I don't
00:22:06.960 think that any government will succeed in making life better for British Columbians unless they're going to
00:22:12.000 repeal DRIPA. That's why I just don't have any faith in the BC Conservatives right now. They won't
00:22:16.480 get rid of all of the big problems. So what's the point of putting them into government? They will
00:22:21.040 cut around the corners. They'll do better on drug policy, which is a massive failure of the BC NDP,
00:22:26.000 a massive ideological failure where they don't even care that they're hurting people because
00:22:30.400 what they're doing is ideologically correct. So the Conservatives are fine there, but you go to a
00:22:34.960 bunch of other major areas of policy and they're, you know, I wish the NDP was more efficient is the
00:22:41.040 argument. It's like, oh my goodness, how is this any different than like Andrew Wilkinson's BC Liberals or
00:22:47.040 Christy Clark's BC Liberals? Kevin Falcon would actually like run circles around these guys when it
00:22:52.000 comes to ideological conservatism. The man was literally more conservative than John Restead currently
00:22:57.040 is. And the party has been taken over by about seven MLAs who can do and say whatever they want. And if
00:23:02.000 someone in caucus currently says anything conservative, they will be attacked just like
00:23:05.920 Eleanor Sturko and Alia Warbus. No, not her. It was Amelia Bowlby in this case. They attacked Heather
00:23:11.920 Maas for inviting a Christian reform group to the legislature to talk on the issue of basically pro-life
00:23:18.560 stuff, MAID, gender theory, SOGI 123. It was a reformed Christian organization that just advises on policy.
00:23:26.560 And that was too far to those MLAs. And they attacked their own caucus member. Disgusting.
00:23:32.480 Anyways, so that should be it for me today, guys. Thank you for watching the video. Make sure to like
