hansardDRIPA / UNDRIP
“The Premier and the Leader of the Official Opposition voted UNDRIP into law in this province in 2019. This act of betrayal didn't just surrender the province to the 204 Indigenous tribes in B.C., but now American tribes want to take in the action too. Yesterday news broke that a tribe from Alaska is in court demanding land rights over a gold mine in northwest B.C. Can you blame them? B.C. is up for sale, and the asking price is zero.”

Question to Premier Eby in the Legislative Assembly. Armstrong sits as Independent (formerly OneBC, formerly BC Conservative). She was elected in 2024 and was not in the Legislature when DRIPA passed unanimously in 2019.
