B.C. NDP Government is Destroying the Province’s Mineral Staking System
According to a recent article in the C2C Journal ‘Do “Supernatural Dens” Override Crown Sovereignty? “The B.C. Supreme Court Thinks So”
The B.C. NDP government moving ahead with plans to destroy the province’s mineral staking system by subjecting all new prospecting claims to Indigenous VETO is also opening the doors for the B.C. Supreme Court’s descent into self-destructive aboriginal mysticism.
In keeping with the spirit and intent of the UNDRIP protocols, the statement that Indigenous people have the same rights and opportunities as all other Canadians means that we all have the same rights and opportunities, Indigenous people included.
That is also why it is so completely absurd our woke and politically correct politicians are defying all popular dictionaries, insisting consult means consent and arbitrarily awarding 6% of our population VETO rights over occupancy and use of the land, as well as the development of our natural resource, while denying the remaining 94% of Canadians those same rights, including the VETO right.
The stated goal of our Constitution is to treat all Canadians equally.
The NDP government cannot arbitrarily renounce that authority. To do so would severely undermine Canada’s national sovereignty and destroy the judicial fabric of our country.
The BC NDP government’s adoption of DRIPA in 2019 mandates a diminution of provincial powers and sovereignty.
Justin Trudeau’s government passed its sovereignty-surrendering UNDRIP Action Plan, designed to “Indigenize” all areas of federal jurisdiction.
In both cases, governments actively cede their authority to a parallel form of native government without the people’s consent.
The disturbing part of that travesty is that the courts knowingly have decided to accommodate those violations and are implementing them!
Earlier this month, Australians had their say on a controversial plan to amend their Constitution to give Indigenous groups a new level of control over the country’s federal institutions that would have empowered a native assembly to make parallel representations directly to Parliament and Cabinet to promote Indigenous political objectives.
It did not entail a VETO over government decisions but would have created a parallel source of authority alongside traditional Western-style democracy and law-making. More than 60 per cent of the people soundly defeated it in a referendum.
In Canada, the people were never consulted, and the Courts violated the laws of the land and abandoned their sacred Oath to Serve and Protect.
