  8. A rare instance of sanity prevailing at the Supreme Court of Canada. I just hope no one's lives have been financially ruined by the horrible Cowichan decision before today's ruling.

    The judge in the New Brunswick case said it best: "In the New Brunswick decision, an Appeal Court judge said in December that a declaration of Aboriginal title over privately owned lands “would sound the death knell of reconciliation with the interests of non-Aboriginal Canadians.”"

    And they were right.

    Now, aboriginals who say they don't want title over private property but have done nothing legally binding to renounce it can no longer weaponize that threat to livelihoods.

    Thank you, Supreme Court!

  10. Of course, no First Nation has signed a legally binding document that they make no claim to private property, either.

    What the River Wants to Be
    Aired: April 22, 2026
    Estuaries are a meeting of two worlds: the river and the sea. For thousands of years, estuaries were also central to some forms of Indigenous agriculture on the West Coast. Producer Pauline Holdsworth visits Vancouver Island, where there’s an ambitious effort underway to bring an estuary back to life as a cultural and ecological space.

  13. @Mannanan Sen̓áḵw for Cowichan?

    The Cowichan decision does not demand the surrender of fee-simple lands, it demands Richmond and Prov of BC negotiate a resolution.

    I'm guessing if the Cowichan were offered publicly owned land that could establish what Squamish were provided to establish a Cowichan "Sen̓áḵw", that issue would be resolved.

    But Richmond and Prov of BC would rather force years of uncertainty than to face the responsibility history has laid at their feet.

    Cowichan housing success would lay bare Richmond and the prov's inability to resolve these issues.

    The breathtaking hypocrisy of the howls for “rule of law”

    For most of Canada’s history, the rule of law has been openly flouted when it comes to Indigenous land and rights.

    The conservative voices vilifying the Cowichan decision, arguing it removes property rights is full of contradictions.

    The court established that the Cowichan tribe proved they had exclusively occupied Lulu Island for generations, -> "owned"

    In arguing against the Cowichan, conservative voices are saying government should have the right to take control of land who's use and ownership is established and obvious. and use if for their own gain?

    Isn't this precisely the opposite of conservative philosophy?

    The property rights noise is a pathetic effort to game ignorance anger prejudice and division for political gain.
