British Columbia

Even though i support the NDP over the greens and conservatives, i think such sweeping power grabs need great scrutiny. There is opportunity in disaster and the rich and powerful no matter what their affiliation pretends to be will always grab power for themselves.

I think this is a decent opportunity for the Greens just the same. We're at the first reading, which is kind of like a legislative draft especially for a law that is brand new and urgent. There's no better time for a real drive for making BC more self-reliant, green and bring about more progressive change.

I expect this bill to be amended, we should have clearer reporting requirements to legislature at least, and maybe a legislative recourse for abuse of this power.
