The NDP may be able to take a leadership role on this front. If they deal with first nations in a manner that respects the tenets of UNDRIP and at the same time advocate for federal legislation that supports those tenets then there is an opportunity here that we should pursue. Proceeding in this way avoids constitutional challenges at the provincial level and allows us to break the stalemate situation the BC Liberals have created.

Besides - introducing unconstitutional laws is more of a BC Liberals thing. They did it to break the HEU and then the SCC found it unconstitutional and forced them to reverse their actions and pay out the people they harmed. They did it to the BCTF and the then the SCC found it unconstitutional and forced them to reverse their actions and, after screwing a generation of BC children, to follow court orders to provide appropriate funding for education.

Just two of the BC Liberals plans for harming the people of BC while they enrich their corporate masters.
