B.C. Premier David Eby is clearly beyond frustrated with Danielle Smith's pipeline dreams threatening the B.C. economy.

In a fiery statement, he called her out directly stating...

"This is not the Danielle Smith show!"

Fellow flotilla activists are alleging Greta Thunberg was horrifically mistreated in Israeli detention.

If this is how Israel treats a high-profile detainee like Greta Thunberg, I want you to consider how they treat Palestinian detainees.
