Reconciliation, Terms and Conditions Apply
Victoria dusts off the colonial playbook: When courts say ‘must,’ the B.C. government hears ‘unless inconvenient.’
Panel 1: A towering billboard outside the B.C. legislature reads “WELCOME TO RECONCILIATION COUNTRY™ – Indigenous Rights Enshrined in Law!*” with a tiny asterisk. Panel 2: Zoom in on the fine print at the bottom: “*Offer subject to suspension without notice if courts actually enforce it.” Panel 3: Inside the legislature, Premier David Eby, holding a giant Sharpie labelled “Emergency Legislation,” is literally scribbling “SUSPENDED” across a framed copy of B.C.’s Indigenous rights law, while saying: “We fully support UNDRIP—right up until the ‘R’ and the ‘IP.’” Panel 4: Through the window, First Nations leaders watch unimpressed; one holds a folder marked “DRIPA Rulings” and says, “Turns out ‘must’ in B.C. means ‘until business complains.’”
