When a >caller delivered a particularly nasty and racist message about Indians >"selling fish to buy beer", Chief Derriksen directly compared that message >to the attitude of "Campbell and the Government". From listening to two of >your MLA's recently (Christy Clark and Mike de Jong) as they explained your >policy on FN's, I have to agree with Chief Derriksen's assessment. They talk >as if FN rights do not exist and that actions like the recent FN logging >operations are "anarchy". Your caucus, the Official Opposition, is large and >includes lawyers and scholars. You have no excuse for such a platform. It >expresses opinions which are untrue and you should know they are untrue. >Perhaps Chief Derriksen's imminent visit to Washington, DC and New York >City/UN will set you straight. In Washington his delegation will meet with >some US Senators, as yet unnamed. > FN rights sum up to one all encompassing right...SOVEREIGNTY. That was >the main point of the Okanagan Nation's Proclamation in the Province in 1992 >and it was the main point of former Union of BC Indian Chiefs President Saul >Terry in his "Comprehensive Treaty Framework". FN SOVEREIGNTY HAS NEVER BEEN >EXTINGUISHED in BC. Therefore, I have every reason to believe that if Chief >Derriksen should present to the UN a proposal for the Okanagan Nation (which >I understand to be his nation) to take a seat in the UN General Assembly, I >expect it will be granted. Okanagan Nation borders are another matter as >they would be in both Canada and USA so that may require UN assistance in >settling borders between US, Canada and Okanagan nations. However, given the >alacrity of the US in creating new borders for new sovereign nations all the >way from Yugoslavia to East Timor, I expect >they will be fully co-operative. Otherwise the hypocrisy will end, once and >for all, any prospect of the US laying claim to be the "Leader of the Global >Village" in C21. > I am also concerned, Mr. Campbell, with your attitude of contempt for a >"democratic society" and the Constitutional rights of all British >Columbians. The phrase "democratic society" is invoked repeatedly in the >Canadian Constitution as you know. The "smoke and mirrors" display by your >party re "open cabinet meetings" etc. is shameful and contemptuous of the >wishes of BC citizens as expressed in the 1991 election when an astounding >80% voted for workable direct democracy. You know very well that "open >cabinet meetings" etc. are cosmetic and are not what the citizens of BC >want. Your contempt for what they do want is clearly expressed by your Bill >M215, the Recall and Initiative Amendment Act. In that context you stated on >VOPR, hosted by Vaughn Palmer on January 13, 1999, "Let's let people decide >this (electoral reform)"..."go with a referendum on it...let's let people >decide this....". Well, Mr. Campbell, PEOPLE ALREADY DECIDED THIS. They >decided it in 1991. If you respected a "democratic society" and the Canadian >Constitution, you would heed their wishes and do all in your power to carry >them out, barring a major moral/ethical conflict (which does not exist in >this case) between the peoples' wishes and more fundamental Constitutional >matters. > In conclusion then, you are not fit to lead BC post-2000 even though the >odds makers say you likely will be the next Premier of BC. You do not >respect the Constitution; you are contemptuous of both Canadian Law >respecting "democratic rights" and International Law respecting First Nation >rights. If you are elected to office with the present platform do not expect >to serve out your term. You will be forced from office as were the last >three Premiers of BC. > As I see it there is a future for BC in which First Nations manifesting >degrees of sovereignty/independence would co-exist with non-FN peoples. Well >defined borders as are being set now for Nisga'a Nation would be essential >to this. How much co-operation a given First Nation engages in with BC, >Canada and other nations within those borders is up to them. But there is no >doubt that they have the same SOVEREIGN RIGHTS within those borders as >Liechtenstein, Spain or Japan. >I also see the prospect for long-term leases on such First Nations for >complete city developments in C21. The Hong Kong lease might serve as a >precedent. First Nations would have the right to issue such leases to ANY >people from ANY country. Again, I am sure the UN would respect such issuance >of long-term leases for urban development. > I will be chairing a series of presentations at Metrotown Library on >Constitutional issues, open to the public, without charge. Gordon Helmholtz >Watson, my running mate in Election-2000 will be speaking this Tuesday, Nov. >2, 7:00-9:00 p.m. His topic is the VERY FOUNDATION OF THE CANADIAN >CONSTITUTION.
