What Happened to the ‘Rule of Law’? | The Tyee
It was a common refrain during the Wet’suwet’en pipeline conflict. But when courts side with First Nations, politicians are more equivocal.

The Tanker Ban must be upheld.
Opinion: Why maintaining the North Coast oil tanker moratorium is of utmost importance
It protects an area rich in biodiversity, culture and habitats, and supports an oceans economy of $3.2 billion that employs 10,000 people.

The weak response from Can, EU and UN to Trump's flagrant crimes in Venezuela is striking.
It exposes that much of the world has been cowed.
Most notable exception: the Latin American left.
That is why the Trump Admin has gone to enormous lengths to defeat the left across the continent. 1/3

Clear fascist play - and more blatant repeat of US infiltration in Latin American governments. Bullshit that this is a “return to democracy” as oil drips from Trumps fingers.

Appreciate all the federal Liberals putting pressure on their government.
There is so much misinformation & fear mongering - and rhetoric about needing to make sure the 5% don't dictate "for the rest of us". So much racism. It's time to uphold DRIPA and repeal & replace the Mineral Tenure Act - not stick with the "free entry" regime of 1859 @eby-david.bsky.social #bcpoli
David Eby was Attorney General when DRIPA passed *unanimously* in 2019… Now, Eby is spinelessly bending to Cons’ misinformation machine with snap-judgement. This province is stronger when everyone is at the table, and that’s why the BC Greens will fight to uphold Indigenous rights and title. #bcpoli
The ink is hardly dry on this court decision, and yet the folks who unanimously passed the Declaration Act are already threatening to repeal or amend it. How is that good government?
