## Editorial caution
The Reel is political commentary. NewsForBC treats broad claims such as “global takeover,” “owners to stewards,” “B.C. is done,” or party-blame claims as interpretations unless supported by documents. The source-check separates verifiable facts from opinion and unresolved records questions.
