🇨🇦 BC Premier David Eby to Announce Indigenous Rights Law Overhaul Monday

Eby's NDP government is set to unveil changes to BC's Indigenous rights legislation—because apparently the first version of handing over jurisdictional authority wasn't disruptive enough. The original law, modeled on UN frameworks and passed in 2019, has been quietly grinding resource projects to a halt while creating parallel governance structures accountable to no one outside band councils. Now that pushback is mounting from municipalities, industry, and even some First Nations leaders worried about accountability gaps, Eby wants a do-over.

Expect the usual theatrics: consultation, reconciliation, partnership. What you won't hear is how this layers more veto points onto every permit, every highway expansion, every housing development. BC already can't build anything. This just formalizes the paralysis and calls it progress. Sovereignty by a thousand consent forms.
