The federal and B.C. governments want to prevent development in 30% of the province by 2030 and they are paying big money to Aboriginal leadership to ‘protect’ the lands. The idea seems to be to just give the Aboriginals taxpayers’ money, rather than economic development.
P.S. The B.C. government is now continually referring to Aboriginal tribes – which are composed of extended families and clans – as “nations”. They should stop with this virtue-signalling foolishness…
“The federal government says it’s signed its first major ‘nature agreement’ with a province and ‘First Nations’ {Aboriginal tribes} to mutually support ‘protecting’ 30% of B.C.’s lands and waters by 2030.
“In Vancouver on Friday morning, federal Environment Minister {and environmental activist fanatic} Steven Guilbeault joined B.C. Premier David Eby, several cabinet ministers from both governments and ‘First Nations’ leaders to announce a $500-million commitment from both governments {How much from the Aboriginals?} for an agreement that would help conserve and protect land, species and biodiversity in the province.
“This is a major step forward in support of Canada’s goal to protect 30% of lands and waters by 2030, which all provinces should get behind“,
said Guilbeault in a news release.
“The development of a “nature agreement” between B.C. and Ottawa was first announced in 2021 as a way to meet the goal of protecting 30% of the province’s landbase by 2030, while also advancing {one-way} ‘reconciliation’ and stewardship in partnership with the province’s 200,000 ‘First Nations’ people.
“The agreement is meant to protect old growth forests in the province, which support at-risk biodiversity and continue to be lost to logging; support the recovery of species at risk, and restore ecosystems throughout the province.
“Financing for the deal directs the use of several already-announced conservation initiatives, such as B.C.’s $100-million watershed security fund and $200-million land restoration fund.
“The federal government is providing new money as part of its $500 million, but also uses previously announced monies, such as a $50-million old-growth protection fund announced as part of the federal government’s 2021 budget.
“The federal government said Friday’s announcement of the deal, called the “Tripartite Framework Agreement on Nature Conservation“, is the first major nature agreement of its kind and will serve as a model of collaboration with ‘First Nations’ to halt and reverse the loss of nature.
{“Tripartite”… There are only 2 Constitutional levels of government but governments are tacitly recognizing Aboriginal tribes as a 3rd level of government, in spite of the Constitution.}
“With mutual recognition of ‘First Nations’ as the original stewards and title holders to our lands and waters {You can, WE DON’T!}, we have reached a jointly developed framework with sustained funding to achieve our collective goals for biodiversity protection, restoration and stewardship“,
said Chief Terry Teegee with the B.C. Assembly of ‘First Nations’ in a release.
{How much are YOU contributing? And how well ‘stewarded’ are your reserves??}
‘Implementation … cannot wait’
“‘Ecojustice’, which uses the justice system to ‘protect nature’ {advance their careers} in Canada {That’s what democracy is supposed to decide, NOT courts}, said Friday in a release that although the agreement is non-binding, its goals are worthy and must be accomplished quickly to protect the province from the ‘perils’ of ‘advancing climate change’.
“It is imperative that Canada and B.C. breathe life into the spirit of this non-binding framework by cooperating with all interested ‘First Nations’ and prioritizing immediate action“,
said Victoria Watson, a lawyer {Of course. Lawyers created and built the billion-dollar Aboriginal Industry} with the organization.
“Implementation of these commitments cannot wait.”
“Conservation groups in B.C., who have long called for ‘appropriate funding’ to protect lands and provide alternative economic opportunities for communities and ‘nations’ {tribes} which rely on industries such as forestry, said the agreement was welcomed.
“They say currently about 15% of lands in B.C. are protected from development and industrial activities, but the province still lacks standalone legislation to protect species at risk…
“Despite a plan and financial commitment to protect vast amounts of land in B.C. from biodiversity loss, conservationists said both the provincial and federal governments have not guaranteed that any future protected areas will exclude industrial activity, such as logging or mining {Good}.
“On Friday, Minister of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship for British Columbia Nathan Cullen said instead there could be “modified activities“, considering governments must work with ‘nations’ {tribes} seeking to benefit economically from the natural resources within their territories.
“Conservation groups also said that in the nearly three years it’s taken to come up with the agreement, old-growth forests continued to be logged at mostly-unchanged rates, including the habitat of endangered species like the spotted owl.
“The Wilderness Committee said with the nature agreement now in place, further, permanent protections must immediately follow.
“Now, the government has finally clarified this funding can be used to remove areas from logging tenures and formally protect them through ‘Indigenous’ leadership — they have no more excuses and no more time to waste“,
said Torrance Coste.”

‘The Myth of Aboriginal Environmental Stewardship’:
“Nothing is so pernicious as the profoundly-racist notion that somehow ‘indigenous peoples’ are genetically endowed with a special relationship, a spiritual kinship, with nature that makes them superior caretakers of the land … Why is so much weight afforded to what is essentially raw, localized experience? If you strip away its spiritual accoutrements, you’re left with little more than the same wisdom that allows a fisherman to gauge impending weather, or derive crude conclusions on the state of fish stocks… Surely, this is common sense. A person of any race or background can, at least in theory, be equally capable of protecting or destroying the environment.”

‘Mother Earth?’:
“We are constantly lectured by aboriginal supremacists about how ‘white man’ needs to understand our relationship with ‘Mother Earth’, the way that aboriginals ‘inherently’ do. It will therefore come as a surprise to many that ‘Mother Earth’ as a concept in Canadian culture is European in origin and has virtually no history or connection with aboriginal culture or belief – and that’s according to aboriginal elders and ‘scholars’.”

“{Uninvited} Advocates against old-growth logging have been {illegally} blocking a bridge over the Gordon River with a large wooden statue of a screech owl for the past week. A camp was set up north of Port Renfrew {B.C.} last Saturday to prevent forestry company ‘Teal Jones’ from accessing cut blocks on Edinburgh Mountain…”

‘Who Owns British Columbia?’ {July 22, 2016}:
“We are the true owners of British Columbia. The Indians across the province own everything — the rivers, the trees, the bugs, the animals. You name it. Subsurface rights, the air, the rain, the whole shot. That’s what we mean when we say we have aboriginal title to the land.”
–James Gosnell, Chairman, Nisga’a Tribal Council, 1984

‘The ‘Indigenization’ of British Columbia Law’ (UNDRIP) {July 15, 2022}:
Canadian governments are busy establishing a legal framework where Canadian law becomes subservient to the United Nations ‘ Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples’, regardless of the wishes of the Canadian people. British Columbia – along with the federal government — are foolishly leading the way in this undermining of Canadian democracy:
“A small bill with far-reaching implications. ‘Bill 29’ ran a mere three pages, including cover and explanatory notes. It constituted one of the first substantive moves by the government to amend provincial laws to incorporate the ‘principles’ of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. ‘Bill 29’ added a clause that said every
“Act and regulation must be construed as being consistent with the Declaration on the ‘Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act’.”
“The latter being the Act whereby two years ago, the legislature unanimously enshrined the 46 articles of the UN Declaration and set in motion an action plan to incorporate them into provincial law.”

“All Camping Reservations and Day-Use Passes will be cancelled by B.C. Parks.”
“Joffre Lakes Provincial Park will be closed until September 30, 2023. The Líl’wat and N’Quatqua ‘First Nations’ say the closure is in support of a harvest celebration in the area they call “Pipi7iyekw” and ‘widely-known’ {legally-known} as Joffre Lakes Park.”

‘Still No Accountability’ (First Nations’ Justice Strategy) {Aug.12, 2023}:
“There should ONLY be CANADIAN justice!
Enough of this anachronistic, segregationist nonsense. The ‘overcriminalization’ in Aboriginal communities must be addressed at source, not by privileged Aboriginal elites attending expensive conferences to transfer the blame to the rest of Canadians.
P.S. Who is paying for this racist nonsense?
“We are committed to working with the B.C. ‘First Nations’ Justice Council to implement the ‘First Nations’ Justice Strategy by following the lead of ‘Indigenous’ Peoples who are reclaiming their ‘Indigenous’ laws, orders and institutions.” {?}”

‘The Giveaway Continues’ (Stswecem’c Xget’tem ‘First Nation’ (SXFN) (Canoe Creek-Dog Creek)) {Jan.24, 2023}:
The government is now starting to turn private land over to Aboriginal tribes – something they promised would never happen.
P.S. They can’t ever be honest about the cost of so-called ‘reconciliation’. How do we know this land wasn’t originally stolen from another tribe?
“Nearly 7,800 hectares of ranch lands, along with grazing licences for 56,000 hectares of land, are being ‘returned’ to Stswecem’c Xget’tem ‘First Nation’ (SXFN) (Canoe Creek-Dog Creek) {a ‘nation’ of 810 people} as part of treaty negotiations with the Northern Secwepemc te Qelmucw (NstQ) {‘Northern Shuswap Tribal Council’, a lobbying organization}.”

‘Moving Backwards: B.C. Creates Segregated Child Welfare System’ {Oct.28, 2022}:
“The B.C. government’s move means it will no longer have a role in welfare of ‘Indigenous’ children and B.C.’s children’s watchdog can get involved only when invited by ‘Indigenous’ groups.”
“The move means the provincial government will no longer have a role in oversight and B.C.’s children’s watchdog can get involved only when invited. How standards of care will be monitored under the new system is unclear.”
