It was a bad law by the Government to pass to begin with and the Natives really overplayed their hand on how understanding people would be. It’s Ebys only way to push off the Conservatives because this issue will win them an election if left unchecked.
You can agree or disagree, but this whole thing is only going to get more unpopular the longer this goes on.

Can’t help but think there will be more whiplash on indigenous affairs issues in the next few years. The pendulum has swung a bit too far with some of these massive lawsuits, controversial land claims (like the ongoing one for 50% of the land mass of New Brunswick) and court rulings, and just the fact that we spent more on indigenous affairs than on defence last year.
The best approach is something realistic and pragmatic. We will probably get there the hard way with policy whiplash.

David Eby was at Surrey Vaisakhi yesterday, that likely signals the NDP is anticipating an election.
High level politicians usually skip out on Surrey Vaisakhi in non-election years because of all the security required.
The 10 ridings in Surrey can swing either way, and in election years those who need those votes tend to show up with the added security.

Eby’s attendance is a signal.
