And So It Begins…

CTV- First Nation files lawsuit demanding Aboriginal title over lands in western Quebec

The Aboriginal title claim covers eight areas, including islands in the Ottawa River; Gatineau park and adjoining lands in the city of Gatineau; two harvesting zones in the Gatineau regional county; the Papineau-Labelle wildlife reserve; as well as the Baskatong Reservoir and other nearby areas that were flooded during the construction of a hydroelectric dam in 1927.

  1. Nothing would be more fitting than to have such lawsuits first directly target the properties of those who have issued public land acknowledgements. I know a few a$$holes across Canada who they could start with.

  2. So the flood gates are opening on land flooded for hydroelectric projects. We are learning that they have better lawyers than we have. Much better …

  3. FN have realized that our governments now consists of brainless Eloi and not Morlocks. Get all they can while they can. I mean, who wouldn’t ?

  4. Why is anyone surprised by this?

    You have the tribals in BC getting their lands, the Tribals in Ontario getting paid, again and now the Quebec Tribals want their piece.

  5. I never use their language (“First Nations”), when you do it changes the way you think, not the way they think.
    1- it’s not clear that they were here “first” anyhow.
    2- there were “tribes” not “nations”, and they fought each other for ground. So they should sort out which tribe had the “first” ancestors among them all.
    The concept that we turn back time and nullify agreements that their forefathers made is utter nonsense.
    “I acknowledge that I live on permanently ceded land with free simple ownership as per the surrender of that land in the treaty.
    Respect MY treaty rights!”

  6. Chief Jean-Guy Whiteduck – has he ever completed a 23andMe profile because he looks as white as any colonist I’ve ever met. Could he be a pretendian?

    Asking for a friend.

    1. The original tribes along the St. Seaway and a number of its tributaries were settled by peoples from Europe, not Asia. It’s not surprising that they would look like us. Plus intermarriage used to be far more common back in the day.

  7. We are paying a high price for our own demise. And the courts are backing the Liberals plays.

  8. Ha. We let them burn our churches down, we let them shut down our projects, we give them billions of dollars and kiss their feet at every turn. We have given them every technological advantage that we have developed at no charge. Now they want our homes too. What did we think was gonna happen? At some point we are going to have to stiffen up our spines and learn to say a hard NO.

    One thing you can take to the bank is that the government is not coming to our rescue.

  9. We all live on stolen land. The only moral thing to do is to give it back … with interest. ALL white eyes everywhere need to give up ALL their wealth, and to become servants, and subservient to the noble, natural, indigenous peoples throughout the world.

    Isn’t that the narrative? And as more and more of the population becomes ‘newcomers’ ovvvv culler … who would LOVE to see whitey marginalized … this will only gather momentum.

    Come for MY home … and you’ll receive it in ashes.

  10. “It’s surreal to think of what is going on in Canada right now;
    Canadians are becoming a minority in many areas around Canada while having oceans protecting us from such invasion.
    Breadlines next to the most productive farmlands in the world.
    Energy poverty in one of the resource richest countries in the world.
    You may no longer own the land you spent 25+ years paying for.
    How is it even possible to screw up things so badly?”

  11. “The Algonquins claim all of Ottawa + surrounding lands as unceded territory. With the BC Supreme Court’s Cowichan precedent—Aboriginal title overrides government & private fee-simple ownership—imagine the irony if judges’ own homes end up under Algonquin title. Would the SCC judges have a conflict of interest to hear the appeal? Precedent has consequences.”

    I actually think if the various tribes of Canada are going to start with this, Ottawa and area is the ideal place to start with it. I welcome the NIMBYism starting in the National Capital Region…

    This above X/Tweet has a map for those who are geographically challenged.

    1. The Cowichan precedent does not apply to the Ottawa Valley. British Columbia is a different country with a different history. Yes, I’ve seen the King babble about “unceded land”, but I’ve never seen any reason to believe that all the land in the Ottawa Valley was not entirely, knowingly, voluntarily ceded long ago. If I’m wrong, prove me wrong. The King, I note, is both unwilling and unable to do so.

      Now, the Cowichan decision has no basis in law, and for that reason cannot be “precedent”. If it represents a new policy of the Liberals then it should concern the rest of us. By calling it “precedent”, as it clearly is not, Mr. Wilson, KC, is simply calling his own competence into question.

  12. The natives must be desperate to play cowboys and indians again. Because threatening a man’s land will get you a nice game of cowboys and indians, and this time, the cowboys are gonna make sure the indians don’t come back for seconds.
