On May 1st, MLA Dallas Brodie promoted Western Separatism and called claims of Indigenous sovereignty "one of the greatest threats to our unity." Premier David Eby issued a strong response:
Hon. David Eby: This member’s incoherent and consistently racist posturing in this House against Indigenous and First Nations that do in fact have rights and sovereignty in this province….
...Her promotion of residential schools denial, her denial of the sovereignty of First Nations and the rights of First Nations in this province continues now. It is disgusting and appalling. It advances us not one degree in growing our economy, in ensuring we’re working with First Nations. What it does do is it drives wedges. It reduces our growth. It reduces our prosperity. It hurts people in real ways, making sure that jobs are not available.
So I ask the member to refrain from her hateful rhetoric, to step back and reflect on the impact of her very real words as a leader in the community. It is disgraceful. I understand why people in her community have put up signs that say: “She is not my MLA.”
