Poilievre and the other #Canadian Conservatives intend to do the same here in Canada. #Indigenous rights & title stands between them and the oil & gas, and other resources they intend to take.

#JohnRustad’s #BCConservatives made it clear they intended to shred legislation designed to ensure #BC laws respected the #UNDRIP. And #Poilievre is on record as publicly stating that Canada’s indigenous peoples “need to learn the value of hard work”.

“Trump Administration Rolls Back Executive Order on Tribal Sovereignty and Self-Governance”

nativenewsonline.net/sovereign

Native News OnlineTrump Administration Rolls Back Executive Order on Tribal Sovereignty and Self-Governance The White House on Friday revoked 18 executive actions from the Biden administration, including an order designed to strengthen tribal sovereignty and expand self-determination for the nation’s 574 federally recognized tribes. 

Are the #BCConservatives Pro-Trump, or Pro-Canada? | The Tyee thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025/02/04/ “Conservative Party of BC Leader #JohnRustad, who supported Trump’s fabricated attacks on Canada, saying in a press release that the tariff threats were “a direct response to Canada’s failure to control illegal immigration and crack down on fentanyl.”

The problem? They aren’t legitimate concerns. Trump made them up to justify tariffs against Canada.”

He's saying he suspects there are "hundreds" of non-citizens who voted in the last BC election who are now afraid to come forward and admit it, for fear of being punished. So he's calling for a 90-day amnesty for all punishments so they can come clean. pure fantasy.

Continued thread

He's mad that someone who recently became a citizen was allowed to vote without their citizenship being challenged. Truly weak tea on that one.

He's saying all BC photo ID in the future should have a "C" on it if the person is a citizen. pure nativist nonsense; the majority of uses of said cards are not for voting and are being shown to people who have no business knowing if you're a citizen or not.

Classic Trumpian tactics in their bush league Canadian iteration. Try to appear respectable and "just making sure everything is as it should be," but then throw out unproven allegations of fraud.

There was already a judicial recount in this riding!🤦
