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.

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.”

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.

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.

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."

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.

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 →Every Conservative Leadership Candidate Wants DRIPA Gone
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.

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.

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"?

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.

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.
