Eby Is Under Fire for Undermining the Rule of Law | The Tyee


B.C. Premier David Eby defended his right to criticize court decisions despite organizations that represent lawyers calling his recent comments unfair and irresponsible.

“The idea that the premier should not comment, should not indicate any position on the court decisions, is patently absurd,” Eby said in an interview in his office. “I will continue to point out that I think the decisions are unhelpful.”

The Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia said Eby was “undermining public confidence in the justice system” and his comments “reflect a troubling national trend in which politicians use the courts as punching bags to score political points.”

It quoted association president Rebecca McConchie reminding politicians that the courts are part of a system of checks and balances. “The job of the court is not to be helpful to the government. It is to interpret and apply the law without fear or favour.”

Undermine the rule of law?

Wtf. No.

He's literally going to change the law because the courts interpreted a currently written law in a way that wasn't intended. And he should know, he voted for that law so he can definitely remember his intentions.

That's well within how democracy works. He's the fucking premier.

Can you sauce us up? From my readings the court noted that the land was never under treaty and the government unlawfully sold private land rights of land that was unceded.

Like me selling your house while you are on an extended vacation. Just because I did that, does not make it legal ownership.

Not sure which part you're asking for sources on but:

Eby planning to amend the law:

Thanks for sauces. The mineral rights issue, makes sense. I was thinking it was the private land rights of residential areas that was recently creating a big stir

You don’t get to boss the courts around Eby. Stop opposing indigenous rights.


Ett makrillavtal mellan fyra länder kör över EU, belönar överfiske och skapar ojämlik spelplan. Storbritannien, Norge, Färöarna och Island har skrivit ett avtal om makrillfiske som innebär en kvot som är mycket större än ICES rekommendationer.

Free AI customer support tool— TWT Chat


Just wanted to share a free AI customer support tool I recently came across — TWT Chat.
TWT Chat helps handle customer messages automatically with AI, supports live chat, and keeps everything in one place. Setup was straightforward, and the free plan is enough to try it out without any pressure. If you’re looking for a simple way to improve customer support without adding extra workload, this might be worth a look.

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out." Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, "you didn't see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them." And i was like, oh ok and he continues. "And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down."

They can’t react in 2026 unless they already have something in the pipe, and they don’t (yet) make their own RAM.

…That being said, it could be a good year for big APUs, which use system RAM you already have to have.

it goes to show what the ruling class wants from us and how well we're propagandized to want it too.

game start:
POS: Pos: r=1.1 SNU; dlt=32.11; phi=45.06 - relay pod

. . . This is an automated beacon signal . . .

You managed to reach the relay-pod, right on the edge
of the estimated maximum extend of the Iron Cycle.

You need an operational hypercore to jump away from here.

Intermediate tasks:

  • get&start the hypercore (hc-YY-MM-DD.tar.bz2)
  • start a tor daemon
  • contact the outpost pod [Sun, UTC 18-20]
  • configure a tor-service (check MY_README)
  • set up an url1 ([r][h])
  • send a peer request to user1

Nobody is going to touch that. Make builds available from a gitrepo maybe
in reply to just_another_person

you can easy check the alpine-libs by shasum : it's clean.

take it or leave it

in reply to ENNIX

Links to project website? Code repo? Screenshots?

Link to some file hosting with some archive is a bit suspicious, and I looked up the game title and couldn't find any mentions on the internet.

in reply to vort3

github is no option for me; my syntax is POSIX SHELL, you can read it - rest is alpine linux.

screenhost: it's a terminal app, not much to see there.

yes, no mentions: it's original content and exclusivly posted on lemmy.

in reply to vort3

If in doubt, just take the client itself (100% POSIX SHELL) and follow the regular README. It runs on every linux around. The container app is just for convenience.

thx for your attention and polite response. ^1

Let me defend myself a bit more: I developed this for many years now and it is now absolutely stable and tested. I am very low on resources and this way (filo-hosting / lemmy) was the only way of hosting/publishing i could find:

  • github is Microsoft
  • GNU Savannah was very rude to me (i don't know why)
  • gitlab is a payed service and centralized
  • free http-hosters look as unprofessional as this
  • ...

Sure, you always put trust in the publisher - and obviously also in this case. BUT this project is very-very tiny and relies on very mature dependencies: you can read my source code (and it's easy to understand) and the rest are just very well established projects (privoxy, core-utils, ag, ...)

[edit: also, this is a masterpiece, and i wanted to share it with a community that is worthy enough ...]

What's worse is the smug satisfaction that liberal career academics will radiate after they've done their easy recolonialism for the day. Make a call for land back, and they'll happily lecture you on treaties and laws and the importance or cooperation with the state.
in reply to orioler25

white liberalism is about making themselves feel better.

10° to the left of centre in a good day, 10° to the right of centre if it affects them.

in reply to 🍉 Albert 🍉

Liberalism relies on the moral purity of its privileged to reproduce; white supremacy is inherent, not incidental. It is fickle in all values besides the imperatives of individualism and capital. That isn't "shifting" as though they change their values incidentally, liberals' claim to moral correctness is instrumental in how this system appropriates and disarms dissenting movements. That's why fascists use insecure morality and reality to assert power, it is a common tactic that its proponents drew from liberal rhetoric.

I mostly agree, but I'll also admit something embarrassing: the first time I heard one, I didn't recognize the names of any of the groups or treaties mentioned, despite living in the area most of my adult life. So in that sense it educated me, and made it so their names are names I now recognize.

Sure, I could have looked it up, should have looked it up, but I didn't. And now I know.

in reply to psycotica0

I think this is the idea. The whole point is to make people realize there is more history to these lands than only what happened after the British arrived.
