3/8 The weapon of choice is #BillC-5.
It creates exceptional regimes for projects labelled "nationally significant," concentrating authority in cabinet and bypassing normal review.
Ironically, despite Premier Eby's opposition, B.C. has its own version: #Bill15.
“…to include #KsiLisims liquefied natural gas on the major projects list is part of a growing and alarming trend seen in #BillC-5 and B.C.’s #Bill15 to forfeit #IndigenousConsent and environmental accountability under the guise of reshaping Canada’s economy,” a news release from the chiefs says."
BC government wants to hear residents’ opinions on what may be fast-tracked under the new Infrastructure Projects Act (BC #Bill15). Take the 15–20min survey and share so more environmentally-minded voices are heard! See this helpful guide on taking the survey ⬇ #bcpoli

Canadian politicians are suddenly in a rush to get shovels in the ground
#Canada’s #BillC5, #BC.’s #Bill15 and #Ontario’s #Bill5 all promise to speed up development, from highways to clean energy.

Cllr Bepple communicated these needs to Peter Milobar at Jun10 #ykacc and council will try for a meeting with the Ministry of Transportation at UBCM in September on these 3 issues. Valleyview corridor, Red Bridge ( #Bill15) and Active Transportation Funding. Peter: bridge replacement not new funding
In British Columbia, it's the PRGT pipeline and Ksi Lisims LNG, backed by 'Wall Street companies deeply embedded in Trump’s inner circle', that stand to benefit from Eby's #Bill14 & #Bill15.

With Mark Carney's #BillC5 & #BillC2, Doug Ford's #Bill5, David Eby's #Bill14 & #Bill15:
'... there is no job creation here, no reduction in cost of living, no difference to Canadians at the grocery store'.

So #DanielleSmith and #FireLaGrange and #Bill15 is why we have over 800 cases in Alberta. Also why the Medical Officer of Health send out a letter NOT mentioning that measles is AIRBORNE. Such winning in Alberta.

Last week, the #BCNDP passed #Bill15 through the legislature by a single tie-breaking vote from the speaker.

BRAD ZUBYK -- The opposition, to these two #NDP Bills, is not an academic or legislative exercise that will dissipate just because a vote has taken place

"Our ancestors demand that we continue to stand up for our rights and title, as our future generations depend on it." Regional Chief Terry Teegee, BCAFN @ buff.ly/fah0KE1 #IndigenousRights #bcpoli #Bill15
Even the #BCCronies party wasn’t as corrupt as the BCNDP to go this far to allow corporations to do this.
Guess fake environmentalist David Eby wants to follow, and probably exceed coal guy John Horgan’s reward for letting corporate predators pollute in BC.
#Corruption
#bcpoli #Bill15
In essence, this gives cabinet the ability to hand one of government’s foundational responsibilities — ensuring industries are following the province’s laws and regulations — to people hired by those industries, removing government oversight entirely.

It’s not often that a left-wing government neuters itself to become impotent in its own legislative abilities
But the fake leftists, real corporatists #bcndp is trying to do that and go even farther than conservatives would in giving power to corporations, harming environment in #bill15

Solidarity with the FNLC and @ubcic.bsky.social as we echo their "profound disappointment" with the provincial government's decision to ram #Bill14 and #Bill15 this week.
We will continue to stand with you, and we know countless people across B.C. will too. #BCPoli
I guess we will see how it turns out, but I wouldn't be surprised if this just ended up being a mildly helpful set of tools to work through the decades of processes we put in the way of building anything. #bcpoli #bill15
Rushing mine approvals could lead to the next big mining disaster. New BC laws #Bill14 #Bill15 could weaken enviro oversight & threaten public safety. Prioritizing development must not come at the expense of necessary standards or community input. Our full reaction: wcel.org/media-releas... #bcpoli
Woke up feeling sick about what the BC NDP did last night. Rage and dread.
The massive powers Eby just appropriated—and when he's voted out the Cons will inherit those powers, which violate DRIPA & evade environmental assessment. The sheer authoritarian power grab of it. Dystopian. #Bill15 #bcpoli
Further erosion of First Nations rights, democratic and municipal rights. It’s happening here too but under #fauxgressive guise #Bill15 #BCNDP #bcpoli

Sonia Furstenau exposes another dangerous aspect of Bill 15: the NDP's plan to let companies hire their own "qualified professionals" to approve major infrastructure projects.

I'm done with the NDP provincially and federally. I don't even care if they clean house. I want to support a new party with genuine communist beliefs. #BCPoli #Bill15
Why hasn't Christine Boyle, Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation, resigned given her many nice words about reconciliation and now the unified Indigenous pushback on her govt's rights- and trust-destroying bill?
#Bill15 #bcpoli
The BC NDP's Bill 15 is a DANGEROUS BILL. It gives the government sweeping powers to force through major projects like mines without responsible review. David Eby has gotten way too comfortable. This just feels like another power grab. #bcpoli #bcndp #bcfirstnations #bill15
The BC NDP's Infrastructure Project Act #Bill15 could scrap major parts of the enviro assessment process for certain projects – but these powers aren't entirely new. The party previously opposed a similar, controversial 2003 bill by BC Liberals. #bcpoli
