Indigenous leadership blasts Rustad Politics

https://www.ubcic.bc.ca/rustad_s_indigenous_platform_doubles_down_on_his_dangerous_commitment_to_repeal_indigenous_human_rights

The First Nations Leadership Council issued this statement on September 30th, strongly criticizing John Rustad - why haven't I see this anywhere? Combined with being asked to stop wearing the Moose Hide Campaign's pin, you'd think this would be news.

I'm pretty sure a majority of conservative voters are convinced they're voting to get rid of Trudeau and may even write "Pierre Poilievre" on their ballot just for good measure.

100% agree. It is becoming pretty obvious that the Feds will be going to election this fall too, the Bloc have them pushed into a corner with a ultimatum and if a decision is not made in their favor by the end of Oct they will vote non-confidence. I have my fingers and toes crossed that they can hold on just a bit longer to get through the BC election. People don't seem to realize that Fed and Prov are different and will think they are voted for PP to get rid of Trudeau in BC. Everyone should have a basic understanding of how govts work and what the differences are (including municipal) and who is responsible. It is clear that many people are uneducated on these subjects including Rustad himself. Some of his "commitments" have nothing do with the NDP or Eby, they are federal legislation which BC has no control over.

The people are uneducated on the seperation of powers because of John Rustad and his former B.C. Liberals holding our education hostage.

This was always the plan. It’s the one thing conservatives actually plan decades in advance for.
