@f800gecko I call #BCFerries #BCHydro #RoyalBCMuseum #ICBC as all #Pseudo #government #corporations because all of the above ARE. None of these entities survive without huge govt #subsidies that taxpayers fund.
If these so called corporations are really private - why the fuck do taxpayers fund mass subsidies for all the above named? It's because #BCgovernment depends on #undereducated & #unaware #citizens to keep on fucking us all over. #Demand #BCNDP #transparency & don't buy politician lies.

@everickert Hi! I live on #VancouverIsland too on the unceded Kowatsun territories. About 20 years ago at the #RoyalBCMuseum in Coast Salish Territory, there was a lot of #Haida Art and there was a written plaque stating that #CoastSalish didn't really do art. A little later I went to the #NaturalHistoryMuseum in NYC and their entire FN display is Coast Salish Art and relics. #racism?

The #RoyalBCMuseum is tearing out #Chinatown , and all the other parts dedicated to the people who came to settle #BC in the 19th century, without even a plan of what will replace it. Shameful.
Top Canadian museum to be imminently gutted in the name of 'decolonization'

One can imagine the need to improve the presentation of #FirstNations history, but that doesn't require obliterating other aspects of BC #history. Everyone interviewed opposes the change.
