Conrad Black- B.C. Aboriginal title case underlines what’s wrong with reconciliation
This process isn’t reconciliation. It is collective national self-abasement accompanied by hurling money at plaintiffs like mad abstract artists throwing paint at canvases. Justice Young’s decision is a legal Swiss cheese. Of course, there is a legal eminent domain establishing the rights of property owners, including native persons. Some framework for dealing with these cases has to be legislated and enforced and it must be equitable to the natives but practical for the country.
“practical for the country” ?
Give me a break.
I wonder…do the natives even own the land?
Isn’t something like 85% of the land in Canada crown land?
thats the issue. to among other things, ignore and set aside and reinterpret treaty agreements that lay out who has rights to goegraphic areas.
sumbuddy show me a valid legal precedent where a property changes hands, everything according to regulation and proprietry, all parties uncoerced and agree . . . . and then the descendants of the seller, the previous recognozed owner, come back DEMANDING exclusive ownership be given BACK. got that all ye abo rights types? where, even onc, in Canaduh sumbuddy got the TAKE IT BACK BECAUSE FIRST PEOPLE BLA BLA BLA
