Premier Eby's latest plan to suspend parts of the Act is a step backwards that will increase uncertainty for all British Columbians, and it's facing significant opposition from a broad range of folks across the province.

“I am deeply disappointed that I have been prohibited from seeking justice for my son’s death in a Canadian court even though Barrick is a Canadian company.” said Elizabeth Matiko Irondo, a plaintiff in the case.

Never mind "51st state" rhetoric. Did you know the US *already* considers Canada "domestic" when it comes to military production?
If that's not a threat, what is?
