    If the ndp have any hope of surviving in this province they would drop the powergrab bill 15 and pass proportional representation through multiparty support.

      https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/bills/billscurrent/1st43rd:gov15-1

      Can you explain to me what part of this bill specifically is meant to be a “power grab”?

        The legislation, as drafted, conflicts with the government’s obligations under the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples while granting the province “extraordinary powers” to override local government regulations, including zoning bylaws and official community plans, the groups said.

          Which sections specifically grant these “extraordinary powers” and which sections conflict with the obligations of UNDRIP?

          Try using your own words and the link to the legislation I provided this time.

            Oh, nevermind, I knew i recognized your name. Definitely not worth ever engaging with you again. I’ve blocked you.

            I’m not a lawyer, are you?

            If you don’t trust all the articles out there saying it’s a problem, then fine. I’d like to hear in your own words, using the document how it’s not a problem.

            The way you’re behaving is typically considered in bad faith, so I’m not going to engage further until you do so in extended details of how it all intricately works.
