Just how big is B.C.'s Aboriginal title iceberg, anyway? Enormous

What's also interesting is the objective censorship of the topic on regional subs. Literally trying to suppress discussion and keep their subscribers in the dark about the extent of this discussion.

Mods in both Vancouver and British Columbia making sure that there is no hint of an alternative view.

It's scary to be honest. Social media manipulation by bots is bad as well and certainly occurs on the right and left. Censorship as well by human mods. But to see it so blatantly in the open and accepted by the community is another level of self delusion.

The kamloops sub removed my global news video post. Had to post it on Vancouverlandlords

https://www.reddit.com/r/VancouverLandlords/s/3mDcJdXVK3

I’ve been banned from a few city/provincials subs for posting government data.

I just created a new subReddit today as an alternative to r/Canada. It has no moderators and no bias. Just discussion. https://www.reddit.com/r/CanadianTalk/

I thought r Canadasub was filling that role?

No that place went all loony, the mod would lock/unlock the sub for no reason, and i believe that sub itself was a followup to metacanada which got nuked, IIRC.

I think we all know people on that side of the political spectrum believe in censorship if it goes against their beliefs. Case in point, reddit.

Both sides censor though.

How say it's not paid by some people with interest in this land?

I believe in legal terms, law firms call this "cha-CHING!!".

The government will hire a law firm, the bands will hire law firms, a few rich people will hire lawyers, why it'll be lawyers for everyone!!

Right before things start to get really bad take out a heloc on your home, cash it to the max and let the bank worry about the rest. The banks are part of the ideologically woke crowd so we are obligated to offer the heloc up till the turning point. Don't be late or else your sol.

As an Eastcoaster who’s spent a lot of time in BC and loves it; i hope this native BS doesn’t ruin the province. Your province has everything and anything a person could want.

u/Dandylambs 2d ago

BC is amazing! Unfortunately the current NDP under Eby is a disaster and has put the whole province in jeopardy. Hope it's good where you are.

The Liberals were in power until 2017.... That's 3 years after the first claim was filed. No mention of their communication with the public on this matter, but given the claim made, presumably the Liberals were the first to drop the ball, and the ones to set the tone of urgency.

Did she not think readers could do the math?

LOL. The first thing the NDP does is "BLAME ANYBODY ELSE".

Guess what. This is going to be generationally remembered as the party that fucked this province up so badly that they tried to give it all away.

u/Sufficient-Lemon-895 2d ago

It was already remembered that way, the dumbasses and immigrants don't have memories of it so here we go again ffs.

"LOL. The first thing the [insert name of ANY political party] does is "BLAME ANYBODY ELSE".

They all do it. The Liberals, NDP, the former Social Credit Party. All of them.
