"The First Nations Leadership Council is extremely concerned that B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad has stated his intent to repeal the UN Declaration if elected in the upcoming provincial election." UNDRIP is the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People. It provides a framework for reconciliation, healing and peace, as well as harmonious and cooperative relations based on the principles of justice, democracy, respect for human rights, non-discrimination and good faith. This is a framework that has given reconciliation and Indigenous people, as well as allies, hope that our governments have actual intention to move forward together in collaboration and healing. I am so proud that our BC NDP government adopted UNDRIP by bringing in the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. A vote for John Rustad's Conservatives is very clearly a vote against a framework of reconciliation and healing together. This attempt to segregate the Indigenous voters from the rest of the province is unacceptable and dangerous. This is a strategy that we've seen before, and it was in a time period that we do not wish to return to. This is a risk we can not afford. This hurts people, not helps them.
