Another shakedown. Pity it won’t affect the idiot elitist Supremes. The rich can afford to be socialist and well-meaning because they don’t have to suffer the consequences of their politics.
Alberta electricity needs are huge. 40% now comes from coal and 40% from natural gas. There has to be some way that Alberta keeps the oil in Alberta or uses it for petro chemicals and tells Canada and the US to shove it. The next election will favor the left in Canada and they will squeeze Alberta big time. Alberta should just keep the oil in the province somehow. Trudeau will scream and fuc$ him.
What’s left to say? Bastards!
Tatunka!
I can’t wait to see them claim the sites of the luxury condos inhabited by well-heeled socialists and their media cheerleaders.
I guess I could lay claim to chunks of Inverness and North Sea oilbeds…
The Harper administration would be well advised to bring Clarence Louie the Osoyoos BC Band Chief into the picture as soon as is possible.
Therein lies the your answer to many, many looming FIRST NATIONS issues, Mr. Harper, take heed!
YES, Clarence Louie!
Please explain what triggered the last comment into never never land?
Seems Captcha is in stupid mode tonight.
Exactly. Unless we ae missing something and the governments and companies can figure how to work with this asinine ruling by the SCOC, resource development is in BC is finished and some of what is currently being worked will come to a stand still.
Not only that, but anybody who has a lease with Indian bands in BC should clear out fast. The Indians will start to also make claims on lots of freehold land held along the edge of various lakes. The mess that is being created will cause enormous problems in BC. And it is all because of a handful of stupid SC judges who were sucked into nonsensical and fraudulent “verbal” claims made by Indian bands in the past.
The Indians worse enemy is the Indian.
Very frightening that 600 migrants from Siberia have this much power over the economy of a nation.
The Government of British Columbia should immediately reject the unaccountable courts demands for an apartheid state in BC, by any means available. This latest racist conjuring from the unaccountable star chamber is a disaster for this Province, conjured out of thin air by ideologically warped “judges” and should NOT be accepted under any circumstances. Handing the future economic sovereignty of the Province to less than 1% of the population based on nothing other than perceived “race” and “interpretations of verbal history” is an outrageous usurping of the Provinces independence and an arbitrary ideological re-writing of the Provinces history. To hell with the unelected unaccountable Supremes, and soon.
To harm the national economy and nation’s international trade, and to be in the employ of a foreign power or foreign corporation for that purpose.
That merits an investigation into a possible criminal charge of treason.
Upon conviction, anything used in the commission or gained in the commission of
the crime, would be subject to confiscation by the Crown.
game, set, match
Good idea,Joe, but I doubt Clarence Louie has any desire to get involved in the dirty world of Indian versus White man politics. He has made his Reserve a great success,and is probably making way more money with much less aggravation than joining the fray.
Also, he doesn’t have to worry about someone shooting him on a dark night if he stays where he is.
If the so-called First Nations want total control over their traditional lands,let’s give it to them, but cut off ALL funds.The Band that won the SCC decision recently owns 1700 square kilometers, try to survive on the fish and game on that Rez without White Man’s filthy oil money.
What if the Solutreans were the first inhabitants( and new evidence is starting to show up) revealing that native Indians committed genocide and killed them off to claim their land. They(the Indians) also should be held accountable for their forefathers war crimes.
