Letter to the editor: Horgan is fully honest, now that he’s retiring

In response to Premier Horgan’s comments to critics of old growth forests to “get a life,” I am Indigenous and I would respond to the Premier to get on with the agenda when it comes to First Nations' plight in this country.

This fell on deaf, mute politicians until climate change hit the current critical stage. Courtroom fights have been going on with politicians since the land was stolen from the original inhabitants. British Columbia introduced the modern-day treaty in 1993 and out of 221 individual First Nation Communities, only seven accepted. The Lheidli T’enneh First Nation voted no twice. Government ignored our shared territories by attempting to negotiate away the rights of smaller bands.

Many First Nations are now asking to be included at the table to deal with climate change. Government’s response is to allow access to stolen land and allow chief and councils to sign deals with industry to right the colossal failure of government to provide a better life from land once “rich in resources” to create an economy to fix the problem government created.

Premier Horgan shares a different style of Tilly hat and needs to “get a life” when it comes to climate change and government-imposed challenges to First Nations trying to address their historical failures. Now that he has decided to retire from politics, we hear truth and honesty in his disparaging comments.

I personally believe the quackscenes are causing myocarditis, pericarditis, seizures, paralysis, miscarriages, stillbirths, a wide range of other symptoms, and even death. I believe those who have taken the quackscenes shed and spread to others. It is my opinion that those responsible for the quackscenes, quackscene passports, and other mandates should be arrested and tried for manslaughter and maybe even murder. Enough time has passed where it is now undeniable. Index 1:11:00 to 1:20:00
