Les Leyne: Tightrope or plank for Eby as First Nations fury erodes NDP’s hold on power – Times Colonist
Apr 14, 2026
First Nations leaders have mounted a campaign to either unseat B.C. Premier David Eby or force a change of mind on pausing sections of DRIPA.
Premier David Eby is going to be walking either a tightrope or the plank during the remainder of the current legislature sitting.
First Nations leaders have mounted a campaign to either unseat him or force a change of mind on a crucial stance he took to pause a key part of Indigenous reconciliation.
It puts the NDP’s uncertain one-seat hold on power in even more doubt, though the government announced Monday that a bill to suspend parts of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act will not be introduced this week and will not be considered a confidence vote, meaning that the NDP caucus is not obliged to support it.
