I think it’s problematic when you refer to the rule of law and indigenous law is excluded from that, said Olsen. It’s pretty clear that the Canadian court system has recognized Indigenous law as part of the broader legal context in this country and in this province. He added that while numerous politicians have spoken out in support of the Wet’suwet’en, talk can be cheap when compared to actions. For me it’s more about what we do and what we show.... I think that there’s this idea that the more simple that we can make it the easier it is that we’re going to find a resolution. The reality, though, is the more simple we make it the less likely it is that we find a resolution. Olsen said he has plans to meet with the Smithers RCMP detachment on Jan. 19 to discuss the ongoing situation. He said despite the events following a Dec. 31, 2019 interlocutory injunction he has confidence the situation will be resolved peacefully. It’s the confrontation that makes me so sad, said Olsen, noting that real change can’t happen until provincial and federal decision makers sit down at the table with the hereditary chiefs. Confrontation is easy finding the space to have a peaceful resolution takes time and work.
Congratulations, Adam Olsen, MLA - Saanich North and the Islands, and thank you for your leadership!
"MagniX CEO Roei Ganzarski said Dec. 10, 2019, will go down in history as the start of the electric aviation age, and believes the e-plane will eventually revolutionize how people travel by making short- to mid-range flights more economical than driving. "It means you can stop driving for three, five, seven hours to get to a destination because there's no other way to get there," he said. "It means you can fly in a small aircraft from a small airport to a small airport.... It's faster, cheaper and more convenient than any other method of travel, including going with a standard airline."
"People like Greta Thunberg are inspiring younger and younger people to get involved in advocating for their futures and they should have a voice when it comes to electing the politicians that are dictating their future. I spent a lot of time in classrooms during the last election and I can tell you from experience that some of the toughest questions came from these visits. It makes sense that the kids are so informed as they study the political platforms as part of their education." - Mackenzie Kerr
