A private political project, plainly identified.

Abolish the Islands Trust was founded and is maintained privately by Tony Aly, an independent publisher and software builder on Denman Island. It is not operated by government, the Islands Trust, a regional district, a community association, or locally endorsed island chapters.

Funding and editorial control

The project is currently funded privately by Tony Aly, who controls its editorial positions. Material donations, sponsors, paid promotion, or transfers of control will be disclosed before use.

Document and editorial methods

The archive preserves original source URLs, separates claimed publication date from ingestion time, mirrors files where possible, calculates checksums, and extracts text automatically. Automated dates, text, and entity mentions can be wrong and are not official findings. Political opinion is separate from source documents.

Corrections and privacy

Report factual, date, or extraction errors to corrections@abolishislandstrust.org. Public petition names appear only by signer choice; email and management links remain private.

Personal-interest disclosure

Tony Aly is involved with Camp Denman, also known as Elkhaven and Elk Haven, on Denman Island. He has a personal interest in land-use and bylaw-enforcement matters affecting that site. That relationship is disclosed wherever these projects discuss Camp Denman, Elkhaven, or any public-record file about the site.

How the live portfolio fits together

Six portfolio roles: landintelligence.co (data spine), denmanisland.co (Denman utility), denmantown.org (Denman campaign), abolishislandstrust.org (Trust-wide campaign), iloveislandstrust.org (pro-Trust steelman), and the island-town sites. A domain is not evidence of a local chapter.

  • landintelligence.co — Data spine. Open, cited parcel records across 17 BC areas — the shared land-intelligence layer the other sites draw on.
  • denmanisland.co — Everyday Denman utility. The public front door: ferries, directory, parcel map, and Land Use Bylaw 186.
  • denmantown.org — Denman governance-study campaign. The deep local case: history, path, sources, petition, and PDF.
  • abolishislandstrust.org — Trust-wide campaign. The umbrella: island pages, the public-record archive, and the cited case essays.
  • iloveislandstrust.org — Independent pro-Trust steelman. The strongest honest case for keeping the Trust. Its petition, email, and analytics data are isolated from the abolition campaign.
  • Island-town templates — Per-island infrastructure. Hornby, Gabriola, Salt Spring, and the other island-town domains are live sites with open petitions. A domain is not a local chapter.

2026 election boundary

Candidate recruitment and ready-made campaign advertising are paused. No election advertising will be bought or boosted until sponsor status, independence, authorization wording, accounts, and reporting obligations are confirmed with Elections BC.
