Tomorrow a land management plan will be enacted that will allow the spraying of #glyphosate – a toxic, carcinogenic chemical – broadly across the unceded territory of Stó:lō, St’át’imc, Nlaka’pamux, Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh. 1/ #bcpoli #DRIPA
This is where food and medicines are harvested .
The plan will allow BC Timber Sales to spray #glyphosate for 5 years. These poisons will be used to kill berries, salal, mushrooms, hellebore, and other plants. 2/ #bcpoli #DRIPA

Angelina Hopkins Rose, from St’át’imc First Nation, has been calling for gov't to pause the plan - arguing they were not consulted and asking for a 60-day extension, at a minimum, before spraying begins, so that they may raise their concerns with gov't. 3/ #bcpoli #glyphosate
Yesterday we celebrated the tabling of the #DRIPA Action Plan. We've repeatedly committed to repairing the legacies of colonialism. To upholding Indigenous rights, including their rights to territories, rights to fish, hunt, & gather medicines & foods, unencumbered. 4/ #bcpoli
Today I asked @KatrineConroy if in keeping with our commitments under the Declaration Act, she'll pause the spraying of #glyphosate set to begin tomorrow in order to consult with the Indigenous people affected? The answer was no. 5/ #bcpoli #DRIPA #reconciliation
I asked if this gov’t believes that the rights of Indigenous peoples to harvest traditional plants are outweighed by the Ministry’s interests to maximize harvest volumes via the spraying of #glyphosate? Continuing with the spray despite #DRIPA says it all. 6/6 #bcpoli
