Murray Sinclair who led the TRC said “Education is what got us here and education is what will get us out.” Congrats KwantlenU for waiving tuition for students from local First Nations. After all education is a great equalizer #Empower timescolonist.com/bc-news/bc-uni… via Times Colonist

What a miracle! Such fantastic news! T’ooyaḵsim̓ n̓isim̓ for everyone’s efforts and determination. The nation said kʷiisaḥiʔis, or Brave Little Hunter, swam over the sandbar and out into open water during high tide around 2:30 a.m. PT.

On The Coast with Gloria Macarenko - March 7, 2025: Celebrating Nominees for the 2025 Women of Distinction Awards+ my remarks on why Dallas Brodie needs to be dethroned as an MLA. We need a recall asap. cbc.ca/listen/live-ra….

Time is of the essence. We need to hear from politicians at all levels of govt across #TeamCanada boasting about how they are going to aggressively invest in the trades, post sec & skills training to defend our National interests & build robust industries. cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

I don’t tune in to the BC Legislature often but I’ll be paying close attention to see how the vote on #Bill15 - Infrastructure Projects Act - aka drive by consultation- goes down today. Bowinn Ma quoted on the radio this AM that reconciliation isn’t for wimps. We’ll have to wait & see.

NEW - David Eby has passed Bill 15 in a tie vote broken by the Speaker. 47-46. The legislation has collapsed Eby’s relationship w/ First Nations leadership orgs who vow protests and legal challenges for not being consulted. Cons, Greens and 3 independents all voted against.

We won’t back down. It’s in our DNA to defend our rights and title. So proud of our allies across all sectors & all political stripes for doing the right thing and paddling together. The days of drive by consultations are over. So discouraging to see the BC NDP going backwards.

It’s never too late to do the right thing. I’m all for economic development and building infrastructure. The BC govt really needs to double down and introduce initiatives that show their commitment to investing in the trades/ skilled workforce…UBCIC vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/05/29/bc-…
