How Do We Move Forward on DRIPA? (with Adam Olsen)

Description

Earlier this spring Premier David Eby ignited a firestorm when he tried to dismantle the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) — first by saying he would amend it, then suspend it, then backing off the idea completely when his own party revolted. Now the province is scrambling over the summer to figure out a new path forward. According to Adam Olsen, this moment was inevitable. The former BC Green Party MLA was there when DRIPA was passed unanimously in 2019. He was in those meetings Eby held this past spring with Indigenous leaders. And he explains on today’s show how this mess is the consequence of more than a century of ignoring treaty rights. And how there may be a way to ease our political hangover.
