BREAKING NEWS! BC LAND GIVEAWAYS: WE MUST TAKE BACK CONTROL The BC government just transferred 20,000 hectares of provincial land to the Squamish regional Native community through a 106-page land use agreement. This includes provincial parks, trails, lakes, and forests all without: 1. Any public vote 2. Any BC-wide consultation 3. Any democratic accountability All of it was enabled under DRIPA and UNDRIP, which were passed without a public mandate and now serve as the legal tool for ceding BCers’ land to unelected tribal councils. Meanwhile: BC citizens can not even apply to buy land from their own province. Native groups receive land outright while the rest of us are left out. BC taxpayers fund it all, but do not control it or benefit equally. The province owns 95% of BC’s land, yet blocks citizens from access while handing over control to bloodline-based governance groups. We now have groups that never held these lands to begin with being granted de facto control over massive territory. This is not reconciliation. This is a complete breakdown of sovereignty and equality. This isn’t about opposition to Indigenous people it’s about equal rights, land transparency, and the right for all BCers to have a say in how this province is governed. Here's what must happen: 1. Immediately repeal DRIPA and remove all UNDRIP references from provincial law. a. These were passed without consultation or vote. b. They are now being used to permanently hand over land and decision-making authority. 2. Retract the Squamish land agreement in full. a. There was no vote. b. This land includes public parks, lakes, and recreation areas. c. The deal is illegitimate without public consent. 3. Place a moratorium on all provincial land transfer deals until BC-wide referendums are held. a. Citizens must vote on any and all future land handovers. b. No more backdoor deals made in silence. 4. Immediately release all Land Use Planning Agreements in full, unredacted. a. BCers deserve full transparency. b. There must be a public archive of every deal signed under DRIPA and UNDRIP. 5. Restore BC citizen land rights. a. Reinstate the land application program allowing up to 630 acres per citizen. b. Prohibit foreign ownership and ensure only BC residents can apply. c. Give ordinary British Columbians access to provincial land, not just corporations, or select bloodline groups. 6. Amend Section 91(24) of the Constitution Act to transfer reserve land jurisdiction from federal to provincial authority. a. Transition reserves into full municipalities or villages. b. Allow for taxation, accountability, and transparency under BC law. c. Unlock $10–15 billion in value from reserve lands for use by residents and communities, both Native and non-Native. 7. Disclose all ongoing costs related to these land agreements. a. Who pays for land management, park maintenance, and policing? b. Are Native governance boards now financially responsible, or is this another taxpayer liability? CALL TO ACTION 1. Like this post. 2. Share it widely. 3.
