This @bcndp gov't knew of the fierce opposition to the CGL pipeline. The blockades caused by this pipeline have shut down highways, ferries, railroads, & this legislature. @jjhorgan's CoS @geoffmeggs told me personally that this situation would be resolved. 1/ #bcpoli #Wetsuweten
I guess the @bcndp’s version of “resolved” means Wet’suwet’en and Gitxsan people being violently arrested by fully armed RCMP and having two journalists arrested last week, sitting in jail all weekend. So much for the freedom of the press. 2/ #bcpoli #Wetsuweten
Our Minister of Public Safety @mikefarnworthbc has consistently hidden behind the Court injunctions and police enforcement. The Court's message is clear, get them out from the middle of these political conflicts. 3/ #bcpoli #Wetsuweten
The @bcndp promised a new relationship with Indigenous people but instead they are acting in bad faith, intentionally deceiving British Columbians by exploiting divisions in our communities created by the Indian Act. 4/ #bcpoli #Wetsuweten
They soak in the accolades of passing DRIPA, but are unwilling to change the racist gov't structures that created the conflict we face today. Instead of the much-assured reconciliation, what we got from the @bcndp is more of the same divide & conquer. 5/ #bcpoli #Wetsuweten
Today I asked @mikefarnworthbc when his gov’t will take responsibility for the policy decisions that have led us to armed conflict on the CGL project and @MurrayRankinNDP what specific actions he's taken in the last month to address this long-standing conflict. 6/ #bcpoli
.@MurrayRankinNDP says the conflict are a result of “disunity” amongst #wetsuweten. He put the onus on Indigenous peoples for this conflict - & failed to mention any actions taken over the last month. He also called my "harsh rhetoric...absolutely unhelpful”. 7/ #bcpoli
He can feel offended by my sharp & direct criticism, however what he feels is nothing like the pain & anguish felt by my relatives in residential & day schools, in the child welfare system, on their land watching their unceded territory devastated by this Crown gov't. 8/8 #bcpoli
