not that I expect much from the National Post, but it's infuriating to see widespread misinfo about park closures in BC. they are not "race-based" closures. access is temporarily limited to the rights-holding First Nations, not to all Indigenous people. this is just rage-baiting for racists.
Screenshot of a National Post article with the headline: "FIRST READING: Non-Indigenous visitors being turned away from B.C. public parks
Province of B.C. has authorized two parks to close to all but Indigenous users"

Anna Lambe's answers were so inspiring and fun! That interview really filled me up. Her thoughts on giving people room to change and grow - but also finding boundaries on educating people - felt so relevant and really resonated

B.C. has a new policy for staking mineral claims, after a 2023 court ruling the province had breached its duty to consult with First Nations. Critics say the new policy is flawed: “two steps forward, one step back” in recognizing Indigenous Rights. thenarwhal.ca/bc-mineral-c...

Opinion: When it comes to transgender and non-binary human beings, some intolerant politicians seem endlessly fixated on trying to prove biology wrong, but they couldn't be further from the truth, writes Mel Woods.
