A B.C. legislator who previously argued Truth and Reconciliation Day should not be recognized as a statutory holiday is proposing a new one that would celebrate the self-described “Freedom Convoy.”
Tara Armstrong, one of two MLAs who formed the right-wing One BC Party after being elected as B.C. Conservatives, introduced the Freedom Convoy Recognition Act Tuesday.
“The bill’s purpose is to recognize the achievements of the Freedom Convoy, one of the largest peaceful demonstrations in Canadian history. It inspired movements across the globe to stand against lockdowns and government overreach,” she said.
If Armstrong’s bill were to pass, the holiday would be marked on March 11 — the day provincial COVID-19 restrictions were eased in 2022.
“Mask mandates were lifted, faith communities could meet again, families were able to visit residents in long-term care,” the bill reads.
The Freedom Convoy paralyzed Ottawa for weeks, and several of its organizers have been convicted of criminal offences.
One BC did not run any candidates in the last provincial election and formed when Dallas Brodie was ousted from the B.C. Conservative caucus. Leader John Rustad said he had no choice but to eject Brodie after she made comments that “publicly mocked and belittled testimony from former residential school students.”
The Freedom Convoy Recognition Act passed first reading, unlike a bill Brodie introduced last month titled the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Statute Repeal Act.
That bill argued Truth and Reconciliation Day should not be a statutory holiday because it “doesn’t deserve to be one.” Armstrong voted in favour of that bill.
In the exchange that followed, Premier David Eby argued both Brodie and Armstrong should be recalled, describing their ideology as “clearly anti-Indigenous, unambiguously racist” and their comments in the legislature as “reprehensible, disgusting, appalling.”
Lol what a dumb cunt.

On one hand, it's great to see people like her identifying themselves as completely unserious. On the other hand, it'll be troublesome to see others who will loudly support such stupidity.
"Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act"
So a bunch of years ago the UN issued a "Declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples". (UNDRIP)
It basically said Indigenous people have the right to self determination, manage themselves blah blah blah.
So BC adopted the the gist of UNDRIP as BC law, called DRIPA.
They didn't properly think the act all through and now it opened up the clusterfuck that we have now.
A residential school supporter and anti-reconciliation fanboi running for Premiership, huh?
The real scary thing is -- in the past, I would have said the Cons are doing the NDP a favour if they chose a nutjob like this to lead the party into a election. But now? There are actually enough nutjob voters who think this might actually be a good idea.
(I wonder if he still supports Putin now... )

I got exactly what expected I guess. Kick out rustad to get someone way more retarded. Gunn is a fucking piece of shit and an excellent social media metric to find out who you know is a piece of shit when you see they follow him.

I'm sure we'll see get a Part 2 of "Vancouver is Dying" a few months before the next provincial election.
Cue the poverty porn videos of crackheads and homeless people sleeping in alleys walking around with decomposing legs for the OMGs.

Grow up fuckin Peter Pan and get a good nights rest.
Ontario MP Michael Ma announced Thursday that he is leaving the Conservative caucus and joining the Liberals.
The MP said in a statement that he made the decision after listening to his constituents in the riding of Markham-Unionville in the Greater Toronto Area.
"This is a time for unity and decisive action for Canada's future," he wrote.
Pp has to be done after this.

While polling continues to show Canadians prefer Carney over PP as the PM by quite a wide margin -- something 20+ to 30 percentage points, they also show the Liberals and Cons being effectively tied, with the NDP interestingly climbing into double digits support. I believe both the Libs and the Cons are in the high 20's and low 30's right now?
Critics say this is due in part to Carney's honeymoon period wearing off; partly due there still having no deal with the US; partly pissing off certain groups for signing that pipeline MOU with Alberta.
I don't really know what's going on, and I can't understand why the Libs and the Cons are so neck-in-neck with one another. But I tend to believe that the polling numbers are an accurate reflection of voter sentiments at this point. Of course, if a new election were to really happen, then I'd think people's strategy voting would produce an outcome that's sufficiently different than what the current polling numbers would show -- for example, I think a lot of people that supported the NDP in the polls would still vote for the Libs again bcos they don't want to see PP in power.
