"twitter:title": "Where British Columbia's parties stand on reconciliation" --- ** MLA · BC provincial 2026 # Where every party stands on reconciliation 5 of the 10 parties on the October 24 ballot have published something on indigenous reconciliation and rights. Here they are side by side, each with its source. [All eleven issues ](https://voche.me/bc/provincial-2026/parties/compare) [All parties](https://voche.me/bc/provincial-2026/parties) **5**Parties with a published position **18**Commitments in total BEFORE YOU COMPARE ## Who actually decides this The province negotiates treaties and agreements with First Nations alongside Ottawa, and passed the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act in 2019 to align provincial laws with the United Nations Declaration. Read the commitments below against that. Where a party proposes something the city cannot do on its own, the commitment carries a line naming who holds the power. That is not a criticism of the promise. A council can lobby, fund and argue, and saying so plainly is more useful than pretending the limit does not exist. WHAT THE COMPARISON SHOWS ## Reading this ballot on reconciliation 5 of the 10 parties have published something here, and between them they have made 18 separate commitments. BC Green Party has published the most, with 6. Not one of these commitments carries a dollar figure, a count or a percentage. They set a direction, which means there is nothing here to check against a budget later. 11 of the 18 commitments here depend at least partly on a government other than the city. That does not make them empty, but it does change what a council can promise about them.
