Apologize - that’s the demand from Premier David Eby who claims MLA Tara Armstrong used ‘Nazi rhetoric’ to slam the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples while speaking in the Legislature. Armstrong says the K’ómoks Treaty Act promotes UNDRIP’s blood and soil theory that people with Indigenous ancestry have their own inherent rights. Independent MLA Elenore Sturko calls the remark extremely offensive and disgusting. Interim Conservative leader Trevor Halford calls it ignorant and abhorrent. Armstrong withdrew the remark after it was declared out-of-order.
