Indigenous Relations Min Spencer Chandra Herbert says BC is in this position because “the work wasn’t done” in the past: “Some people say DRIPA is the reason for the uncertainty — let’s remember that Royal Proclamation, let’s remember we didn’t do the work as govt all those years ago.”

@SChandraHerbert Why don't we have equal rights? Is there something fundamentally different about first Nations from the other 20 major ethnic groups in BC that they can't compete on a level playing field?

@SChandraHerbert @SChandraHerbert is the most incompetent BC minister. Embarrassing that @eby gave him any position of power

@SChandraHerbert Wrong. BC is in this position because David Eby was too stupid to fully grasp what the word "MUST" meant when he rushed his ill-conceived edit of BC's Interpretation Act back in 2021 as Attorney General. i.e. "All BC laws *must* align with UNDRIP." It's Eby, 100%. @Dave_Eby

@SChandraHerbert Minister Chandra Hebert doesn’t understand law or history with due respect

@SChandraHerbert What a ignorant man- our ancestors did all the work to build this country. B.C belongs to all Canadians who live in this province. Indigenous people couldn't and didn't build this country on their own. The lamd and the resources belong to all of us.

@SChandraHerbert Chandra and his government have had a decade to “do the work.”

@SChandraHerbert Falsehoods upon falsehoods. I will be writing something in response to this.

@SChandraHerbert always an excuse from @bcndp.

@SChandraHerbert I dont trust someone who is so nervous, hand-wavy, and tries to emotionally manipulate with rhetoric. Obviously he is dishonest and has an agenda.

@SChandraHerbert DRIPA contradicts s.35. When challenged, it will be struck down as unconstitutional.

@SChandraHerbert It wasn’t done because it would have ruined the B.C. Economy but alas here we are five credit downgrades later with another on the way.

@SChandraHerbert Has he handed over his house keys yet?

@SChandraHerbert Hi Minister. If you really want to get into whatifisms and whataboutisms, we must talk about how Canada prevented American expansionism, which which would have resulted in aboriginals having nothing. Truth. They can thank us, you can thank us. Stop cherry picking the past.

@JarrydJaeger @SChandraHerbert They have screwed EVERYTHING up

@SChandraHerbert That guy is a lunatic

@SChandraHerbert Good times create men like this dipshit.

@SChandraHerbert I thought that when we joined Canada back in 1871, the terms of agreement were that Canada was now responsible for completing the treaties. Why does BC get involved at all?

@SChandraHerbert “Incredible agriculture, incredible economies, incredible culture.” He just outed himself as a know nothing idiot. When Europeans arrived, the natives were basically Stone Age tribes genociding and enslaving each other. They were nomadic hunter gatherers with no written language.

@SChandraHerbert We were already tied to UNDRIP. The uncertainty today was caused by the BC NDP. Take a bow.

@SChandraHerbert It’s. Made up position for a made up thing. Fuck off

@SChandraHerbert let's remember the Royal Proclamation was issued in 1763 by a absolute monarch. Nobody resident in the British colonies got to vote on it. and it did not apply to BC because there was no permanent British colony in BC in 1763

@SChandraHerbert But we don't need DRIPA. It's an international policy that doesn't take Canadian legislation into account.

@SChandraHerbert That fucktard needs to go

@SChandraHerbert No, it’s DRIPA.

@SChandraHerbert I’m a simple man. I hear therapy language like “do the work” and I stop listening

@SChandraHerbert 1 min When and where did the king of England and the British Board of Trade, say, "We have to work with the local people"? Where is the record? A folksy and misleading interpretation about people in 1763 who worried about business and empire. The minister seems clueless.

@SChandraHerbert The man needs to go, he understands nothing and is ready to destroy it all.

@SChandraHerbert It is the "how" of it that is destroying cohesion and progress in BC.

@SChandraHerbert No Pride in Apartheid

@SChandraHerbert Article 26: Helloooooooooo Spencer. Helloooooooooooooo

@SChandraHerbert This is factually correct, past BC Premiers kicked the can down the road for over a hundred years. The rest of Canada, and even the United States after a few genocides, have larger treaties territories than BC because BC did not engage in treaty processes with every nation.

@SChandraHerbert It’s the ENDP

@SChandraHerbert I for one welcome the overlords of the sacred bush to rule over us. Was Getting kind of tired of Bonnie Prince King Charlie and his ridiculous offspring anyway
