The December 2025 Gitxaała ruling found that BC's free-entry mineral claim-staking system was inconsistent with UNDRIP — meaning you can't stake a mining claim on Indigenous territory without any consultation. The ruling did NOT give blanket control over all land. It is being appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada. Premier Eby proposed a three-year suspension of the interpretive provisions while the appeal proceeds. The ruling is the court doing its job: interpreting a law that the Legislature passed unanimously. Every major misinformation campaign about DRIPA intensified after this ruling.
