- Description
- There is a growing political and constitutional crisis in British Columbia sparked by the province's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA). The growing controversy around DRIPA and its impacts has become a major political severe headache for Premier David Eby, whose plan to suspend the law fell apart amid threats of blockade and lawsuits from Indigenous leaders. In this interview with NP's Rob Breakenridge, Without Diminishment co-founder and National Post contributor Geoff Russ makes the case that DRIPA has evolved into a "quasi-constitutional veto" and "legal stranglehold" that threatens democratic governance, social cohesion, resource development, and even the names of B.C. municipalities. Russ warns that the rest of Canada should be paying attention, and that B.C.'s experience should serve as a cautionary tale.

- It’s been five years since Canada was upended by the claim that 215 children’s graves had been found outside the former site of the Kamloops Indian Residential School. The area in which the graves were said to lie is known as the apple orchard. And it sits right atop a septic field installed in 1926. The anomalies were found atop a historic septic field, and the survey data wouldn't be able to show a difference.

But there's trouble in Liberal paradise. Fourteen Liberal MPs signed a private protest letter warning that the Alberta deal destroys the government’s environmental credibility.

- Description
- Wednesday marks the five-year anniversary of the announcement that hundreds of unmarked graves had been discovered at a former residential school site in Kamloops, B.C. - an announcement that made headlines around the world and ignited an emotional debate here at home around the legacy of residential schools. Since then, however, the initial claims about graves at the Kamloops site have been walked back, as has been the case with similar claims at other sites. No actual new burial sites have been confirmed or unearthed. In this interview with Rob Breakenridge, author, journalist, and National Post columnist Terry Glavin argues that sensationalized reporting and political opportunism fueled false and exaggerated claims of "mass graves" and other horrific crimes. That, he says, sparked widespread civil unrest and ultimately damaged the credibility of genuine residential school survivors.

In this interview with the National Post's Rob Breakenridge, Chong explains why he felt it was important to send a message to China that elected Canadian MPs won't be intimidated from visiting and engaging with Taiwan. He also believes that in the interests of stability in the Indo-Pacific region, as well as Canada's long long-term economic interests, we need to strengthen our relationships with democratic allies. But does the Carney government view things the same way? Is our new trade agreement with China limiting Canada's willingness to take a stand on such matters?

- It's been an eventful few days in Alberta, as some significant developments have impacted a possible fall referendum on Alberta independence. The separatist group Stay Free Alberta has submitted their petition, claiming to have collected just over 300,000 signatures in support of a vote on separation. That would be well above the threshold, but a court injunction has left the verification of that petition in legal limbo. In the meantime, a data breach scandal has erupted around the movement as Elections Alberta is now investigating the potential misuse of Alberta's official voter list by a pro-separation group. This all ratchets up the pressure on Premier Danielle Smith, who now has some huge decisions to make. In this interview, Rob Breakenridge is joined by Jesse Snyder, Western Correspondent for the National Post for the latest on these developments and where everything goes from here.
