  1. @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.

    Will Canadians follow the call to willful ignorance?

    The Cowichan ruling isn’t a threat to private property

    "The ruling does not undermine or invalidate the rights of any landowners who were not parties to the case.

    Instead, the court directed the federal and provincial governments to negotiate with the Cowichan about how to reconcile Aboriginal title with existing fee-simple title. "

    It’s a call for governments to face their obligations to Indigenous Peoples, but owners outside the case won’t suddenly lose their deeds.

  8. Memo to BC First Nations: you cannot celebrate a court decision removing private property rights and expect no pushback. Be careful what you sue for in future, and be very specific about what you aren't sueing for.

  10. Want to help make #RichmondBC an even more vibrant and connected community? One great way is by #volunteering for the various available opportunities in Sports, City Events, Senior Programs, Arts, Cultural and Heritage Programs.

    One program I want to highlight are the #SnowAngels. Snow Angels are neighbourhood volunteers, organized by the City of Richmond, who support eligible residents with snow removal from sidewalks and walkways.

  12. From the archives: Interurban Tram 74 BCER and others awaiting scrapping, 1953.

    A shame that the Metro Vancouver Interurban Tram system was completely scrapped in the fifties to make room for roads. Decades later the Skytrain system rebuilt some of these routes but at a much higher price point because of the elevated tracks.

  22. Enjoyed a #Dinner Date with the #TortieTerror, of Poke, Wakame, mango & local corn & cucumber. All delicious! Spoiled for fresh & tasty food in #RichmondBC.

    Ella’s favourite was the Shoyu Salmon, & mine was the Ala Moana Ahi, which made for a more peaceful dinner together as she didn’t try to finish my ahi for me. Actually her table manners were quite exceptional, making me a proud mom.

  28. In #planning4summer, I’ve been slowly cleaning, designing and planting my decks so that the #TortieTerror and I can enjoy plenty of #DeckPicnics.

    This was our supper tonight of stuffed cod from Amron’s, braised red cabbage and mushrooms, and fresh local peas from Richmond Country Farms. Love #EatingLocal in #RichmondBC. Utterly spoiled with the choices, as is the tortie terror who ended up eating half that piece of stuffed cod. She would have eaten more, had I left the #picnic table.
