Published a distinct Follow the Money / Resources story on KSM, critical minerals and B.C.’s certainty problem after the court-ordered consultation process and northwest tenure pause.

Reviewed every recent post from the last 21 days plus older homepage/sidebar features. Updated visible blog-index and nursing-post wording so the BCNU file now reflects the June 19 rejection of the tentative agreement, not an active June 15–19 ratification vote. KSM, Bill 9, Cowichan/Montrose, Dallas Brodie recall and Tumbler Ridge watch items remain open with no unsupported new outcome claimed.

Published an evening follow-up on the Massey Tunnel replacement after Delta Mayor George Harvie demanded open public answers about safety concerns raised around the terminated contractor path.
B.C.’s Information and Privacy Commissioner says public bodies still do not consistently track basic FOI performance metrics. After Bill 9, that is an accountability warning the NDP cannot ignore.

BC’s total provincial debt is fast approaching $155 billion — and under Eby, debt as a share of the entire BC economy will more than double, from 22.3% of GDP to over 46%. Debt servicing is now the third-largest government expenditure. Sources: ICBA, Vancouver Sun, The Hub, TD Economics.
Read Full Story →On Sunday April 20, Eby was preparing to suspend DRIPA. By evening he had surrendered completely — giving up everything while Indigenous leaders agreed only to “talk.” One cabinet minister heard about the U-turn from a reporter. Vaughn Palmer: “He reminded observers of a hostage reading a statement prepared by his captors.”
Read Full Story →In February 2026, the BC NDP slashed the penalty for exporting unprocessed logs — with no press release and no debate. Forest advocates warn it triggers a death spiral: more exports mean more mill closures, which justify even more exports. Horgan promised the opposite in 2019.
Read Full Story →BC Regional Chief Terry Teegee — one of the architects of DRIPA — confirmed on CKNW radio that 200 First Nations are co-governing BC. When the Opposition pressed Eby for a yes or no three times, he refused each time.
Read Full Story →With 7,200 unfilled nursing positions, violence up 25% since 2019, and hospitals being cancelled, the Eby government is offering nurses a fraction of what other unions received. Strike vote: May 8–11; members later rejected a tentative agreement on June 19.
Read Full Story →BC is spending millions replacing street signs, park names, and public infrastructure with Indigenous language text — in languages so critically endangered you need a university expert to read them. If a sign falls in the forest and nobody can read it, is it reconciliation?
Read More →A BC Supreme Court ruling handed the Cowichan Tribes Aboriginal title over 300+ hectares inside Metro Vancouver. Even the federal Liberals appealed it. So why did the BC NDP build the legal framework that made this possible — and then go silent when the consequences arrived?
Read More →The NDP “re-paced” $3.5 billion in health infrastructure. Contracts were cancelled. Burnaby Hospital Phase 2 is dead. Mayors are “horrified” and “disgusted.” And the government still won’t say the word “cancelled.” Vaughn Palmer says the time for euphemisms is over.
Read More →BC Ferries CEO admitted to the Sunshine Coast Regional District that the aging fleet can’t keep up — and the provincial government makes the decisions. The NDP denied a 5th ferry, presided over Easter weekend chaos, and left communities stranded. Source: CBC BC.
Read More →Instead of fixing BC's education crisis, the NDP-aligned Vancouver School Board is renaming schools to Indigenous names most families cannot pronounce. Dallas Brodie breaks it down — 44,000+ views.
Read More →BC’s government workforce grew 54% in a decade under the NDP — even as hospitals closed, waitlists exploded, and the province hurtled toward a record $13.3 billion deficit. A new analysis reveals the structural rot driving BC’s fiscal crisis.
Read More →The official account of MLS Commissioner Don Garber posted “Liar liar pants on fire” under Premier Eby’s tweet about keeping the Vancouver Whitecaps in BC. MLS claims the account was hacked. The credibility gap it exposed is harder to dismiss.
Read More →In the same week the BC NDP cancelled Burnaby Hospital’s cancer care expansion, they revealed World Cup costs have exploded to $581 million — more than double the original estimate. BC can afford FIFA. It cannot afford your cancer care.
Read More →BC’s own Seniors’ Advocate documented a crisis years in the making: the long-term care wait list has tripled since 2016, with seniors now waiting nearly 10 months for a bed. The province’s response? Cancel the contracts for the five facilities that were supposed to fix it — while running a $13.3-billion deficit.
Read More →A $2.5-billion Aboriginal title ruling has left 150+ Richmond homeowners uncertain about the land beneath their feet. Half of Haida Gwaii’s non-Indigenous residents face the same question. Eby drafted DRIPA in 2019 — and seven years later, his government still has no answer for the British Columbians caught in the middle.
Read More →Multiple Indigenous nations say 80% of K’ómoks treaty lands overlap their own territories — and the Kitselas treaty is proceeding without neighbouring nations’ consent. The NDP is pushing ahead anyway, with UNDRIP now locked inside constitutionally protected agreements that no future legislature can undo.
Read More →After scrapping two previous versions, the NDP gave municipalities and developers 30 days to respond to its revised Heritage Conservation Act — then rejected requests for more time. The feedback: permits would still take hundreds of days even improved by 50%, private property rights remain uncertain, and nobody trusts the process.
Read More →In less than three years, the BC NDP turned the largest provincial surplus in Canadian history into the largest provincial deficit in BC history. Debt servicing is now BC’s third-biggest budget line. The services British Columbians paid for are getting worse, not better.
Read More →Cypress Provincial Park is now just “Cypress Park.” BC Parks spent $16,000 on the new sign. No announcement. No debate. And it’s happening across the province — right alongside the DRIPA co-management push.
Read More →The NDP axed the Burnaby Hospital Redevelopment and a long-term care centre in Delta — after the community raised $20 million and the Finance Minister promised the Legislature these projects weren’t going anywhere. Fraser Health serves 40% of BC but receives only 22% of provincial health funding.
Read More →Bill-9 is advancing through the legislature with almost no public attention. The man who wrote BC’s original FOI law calls it “freedom FROM information.” The NDP is counting on the DRIPA circus to keep you from noticing — and so far, it’s working.
Read More →Families of the victims of Canada’s worst mass shooting are suing OpenAI in California today — because BC’s damage caps make a provincial lawsuit pointless. Seven weeks after seven people were killed, BC’s Attorney General is still writing letters to Ottawa and waiting to see what Manitoba does.
Read More →The BC Court of Appeal unanimously rejected the argument that a Wet’suwet’en hereditary chief could breach a court injunction by citing Indigenous law. The ruling draws a careful but clear line — one that cuts against the expansive DRIPA interpretation advocates have been pushing, and arrives just days after Eby’s failed attempt to amend the law.
Read More →Two NDP treaty bills claim up to 90% of neighbouring nations’ traditional territories without consent. UBCIC — the same organization that helped write DRIPA — is now threatening to sue the NDP government under DRIPA’s own consent principles. The minister called it “not unusual.”
Read More →BC's chief coroner released a landmark report today: 135 people killed by intimate partner violence between 2016 and 2024, with Indigenous people hit hardest. The recommendations largely repeat a 2016 report the NDP ignored for years. The coroner called these deaths “overwhelmingly preventable.” The NDP had the power to prevent them. They didn't.
Read More →A new Leger poll puts BC NDP support at 44% — down from a 48% peak — while Eby's disapproval has nearly doubled in a year. The province faces a record $13.3 billion deficit, and the Conservatives just held their sharpest leadership debate yet. The math is turning against the government.
Read More →While BC was consumed by the DRIPA crisis, the Eby government quietly advanced Bill-9 — legislation that strips citizens of access to government records and hands bureaucrats sweeping new powers to reject inconvenient requests. The man who helped build BC's original FOI law calls it a move from "freedom of information to freedom FROM information."
Read More →Canada's 30x30 biodiversity plan commits $3.8 billion to designate nearly a third of the country as protected land — with Indigenous-managed territories as the primary mechanism. Layered with UNDRIP and BC's DRIPA, it amounts to effective Indigenous veto power over resource development on 30% of Canada. No vote. No referendum. No public debate.
Read More →MLA Dallas Brodie's documentary Making a Killing exposes how unverified grave claims triggered a massive government spending spree — with zero confirmed remains excavated at Kamloops.
Read More →At Friday's Vancouver debate, all five BC Conservative leadership hopefuls pledged to repeal DRIPA. The NDP's one-seat majority is all that stands between the law and the scrap heap — and that majority nearly collapsed this week. The Fulmer vs. Elliott fireworks over "guilty settlers" and land acknowledgments showed just how far the conversation has shifted.
Read More →David Eby backed down from suspending DRIPA because Joan Phillip — NDP MLA and wife of Grand Chief Stewart Phillip — told him she couldn't vote for it. One person's personal conviction, shaped by a profound familial conflict of interest, rewrote the government's legislative agenda. The margin: 47–44.
Read More →In December 2025, Tahltan Nation members received approximately $10,000 each from a $40 million upfront payment by Skeena Gold & Silver — days before they voted to approve the Eskay Creek mine restart. The vote passed. Now ask yourself: is consent that's purchased days before the ballot truly "free, prior, and informed"?
Read More →Stewart Phillip has led the Union of BC Indian Chiefs since 1998. His wife Joan Phillip is an NDP MLA and Parliamentary Secretary. His government-funded organization helped write DRIPA — the law her government enforces. No recusal on record. In any other sector, this would be a front-page scandal.
Read More →BC posted a -0.4% population decline in Q4 2025 — the worst in Canada. Alberta gained +0.1% for the 14th consecutive quarter leading interprovincial migration. Doctors, tech workers, and young families are leaving. The NDP's response: silence.
