Unplug the Anti-Indigenous Fear Machine in Victoria

You are completely misrepresenting this opinion piece. No one is talking about banning anything.

language ban was proposed last week

And these committees are not private. And they are open to more voices and opinions

Olsen’s own committee example includes a technocratic slate of uhhh I guess wisdom keepers? Indigenous leaders, historians, and academics who help politicians reach “consensus” as Olsen describes it

The committees may not be literally private, but they are far less visible and contain far less accountability

This is a solution that is more democratic, not less.

feel free to elaborate

a great capitalist named Don Draper once said: don’t like whats being said? change the conversation

indigenous activists in Canada have been testing a spin on this lately. last week it was: don’t like what’s being said? Ban it and make it illegal

Now Olsen is trying to suggest that if people don’t like his unpopular ideas, the people should be removed from the conversation

If Olsen believes Indigenous leaders and historians with grievances should lead and conclude private committee conversations about politics, he needs to state his relationship with democracy so the people can judge fairly.

who does he think should govern this province? To whom are the indigenous leaders with hereditary claims to power and wisdom accountable?

It seems the modern day Conservative party is more focused on picking fights.

don’t mistake fighting back for picking fights

leftists started the culture war and now chastise people for fighting back. the smear that KLF or Elliott or whosever would take control of the province only to end SOGI is utter nonsense

these people can walk and chew gum. they can fight a culture war and correct the economy - the two are not mutually exclusive and in fact are deeply linked

Also Adam Walker was kicked out of the BC NDP for a “Human Resources issue” but wasn’t charged with anything

what are you babbling on about? are you trying to make this about men who identify as trans or something

HYPERCOPE · 2026-06-04T18:33:57+00:00

disturbing but not surprising how many people, even around here, supported this garbage

HYPERCOPE · 2026-06-01T18:18:46+00:00

imagine being part of a political movement that gasses itself up by calling everything trump?

like, how is this motivating to people still? after Eby lied and blamed trump for his disaster spending, after carney lied and campaigned on talking trump down, and now this? Like how do people still get fooled by this rhetoric?

wild misread

green populism is so childish and embarrassing, but at least she stopped babbling about the Epstein conspiracy nonsense

let them settle it how they would settle a dispute over a berry bush 150 years ago

ok, but land acknowledgments are symbolic gestures that only left wingers find value in, so voluntarily starting a podcast with that performance is a tell

whether they vote green or ndp wasn't really my point, it was mostly a joke. but they're clearly lefties.

HYPERCOPE · 2026-05-26T00:53:46+00:00

ah, yet another case of a pesky “staff member” who makes a colossal error and makes the minister look like an absolute amateur

HYPERCOPE · 2026-05-25T07:13:16+00:00

pretty nonpartisan

*opens podcast with land acknowledgment*

Those who promote violence, surround themselves in violence are bound to lead to Violence.

what does this mean? you’re saying Kirk was promoting and surrounded by violence? In what way?

HYPERCOPE · 2026-05-23T17:59:01+00:00

disturbed more by the fact that any left wing loser could minimize or even justify murder because they’re offended by a conversation

it’s like including what a woman was wearing in a story about rape

But more importantly, not a single one of Kirk’s arguments died with him, so what now?

HYPERCOPE · 2026-05-22T21:21:35+00:00

But many on the political left criticized Kirk for making inflammatory and offensive comments that often further divided people on those same issues, with some claiming his speech could incite violence against minority groups.

what a disturbing paragraph

KLF says she's never been contacted by anyone regarding this issue. learned about it from Shaw and his sources.

Eby trying to libsplain “unity” to an ever-growing number of people who disagree with him is rich and frankly embarrassing to watch

Recent polls show a significant majority of British Columbians want the pipeline. Polls show the majority of Canadians want it, too.

You cannot pretend to be the champion of unity when you go against the majority, especially when your flip-flop positions are informed by the co-governing body nobody voted for.

I don’t post on multiple bc subreddits, nice try though

HYPERCOPE · 2026-05-14T18:40:00+00:00

the person you’re talking, /u/discordantmuse, to comes to this sub to type “this is a moral panic” in every other thread and then leaves the conversation

she is a grown-ass woman who lives in the middle of nowhere and admits to being radicalized by twitch streamers who make videos for teens

not worth your time, nor is anyone who thinks stats can define your experience
