Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Heya,
Are you regretting the UNDRIP yet?
Drip, drip, drip,,,,WHOOSH! Floodgates open wide!
Meanwhile, lawyers are salivating….
Yeah, it was a huge error to give that UN crap the time of day. BC is stewing in its own juices……this is going to get very, very ugly.
Exactly, make work programs for government and Communist lawyers which are all one in the same. Outcomes? Who cares? Are we making money? Yes.
Don’t recall the locale or the Indian tribe* but a court recently cut back the law firm’s fee on a multi-billion $$$ settlement. Whoa, get this: from $500M to $23M. Scum all around.
* I don’t say “first nations” ‘cos they’re not nations; the very first time I heard that phony phrase I could see this ridiculous situation we’re in.
First settlers.
Penultimate settlers given that those before them were driven off. And then came the white man.
The Indian giveth and the Indian taketh away.
That’s why there is a “derogatory” name about that………
Molon labe.
Joey,
First Nations are never going to understand that. It actually means something.
Sparta!
Your Canadian MLA’s a re completely and utterly useless. They bring on MLA Elenore Sturko as an expert to espouse her wisdom on the issue, and she, basically, spouts out nonsense about how the Government needs to be more open with information. IOW, the government needs to be more forthcoming about how the private citizen is going to get screwed without buying dinner first.
She DOESN’T comment on the unfairness of the issue. She DOESN’T comment about what needs to be done to protect private assets. She DOESN’T say anything of substance other than the government needs to be more transparent on pending (and yet unknown claims). This is your representative. I’m surprised she didn’t preface her statements with a Land Acknowledgement.
Someday in the future this will be heard by the SCOC, and seeing their history one should keep in mind that the gov’t always awards the gov’t, always sides with the gov’t, sometimes you think you can “beat the house” at the casino, but be aware of what the odds are.
The exceptions? sure, like finding a meteorite in your backyard, it sometimes happens.
My opinion is to simply declare your FN’s heritage and clog the courts to the ends of your life.
No, this time I’m not being facetious.
I imagine it is conceivable that the government will permit the confiscation of all lands and properties in Canada by First Nations and then steps in and appoints itself as the steward and administrator of all that. The End.
That is the only question: how will Ottawa turn the land over to Indian ownership with Ottawa retaining administrative control.
pffft. details detials. the textbook standard procedure at a cetain point goes by the name ‘and then hand it over to government’ the understanding being it creates the need for a new bureacracy staffed by liberal supporters. etc etc.
get with it finally.
There is a FN in Ontario which has a claim which sides right up to the Ottawa suburbs, it’s a rounding error to not include the entirety of the city and as long as the Algonquins start there I’m all good with it.

It will be interesting to see what the NDP government does as it is, and has been, a member of various international socialist organizations who deny private property ownership believing everything belongs to the state.
Over to you tovarishch Elby.
Awesome! My grandsons are part owners of a ski resort!! Now they can kick back and drink and smoke their lives into the gutter whatwith all the FREE shit they just claimed.
Damn it feels good to be an Injun-ster!
And some idiots want to bring parts of BC along for WEXIT. Thanks, but no thanks.
Right, Biker dude. Sure…
Look at the new mayors of Edmonchuk and Cowtown.
Let’s talk idiots, eh, mate?
WEXIT is a pipe dream.
There is no one to bring along your fading dream.
Maybe a few cowboys in Stettler, etc.
Yours truly, an idiot in the BC interior who can read the tea leaves.
AND… I wish it were otherwise….having lived in Beaver County, East of Edmonton for 18 years, and now sweating my ostensible private property in the Okanagan.
Sorry
Last I checked … Kamloops is right there in your beloved Okanagan. Just curious … whose stolen land is your house on there in Kelowna?
Yeah, this is gonna spin utterly out of control.
Kamloops is not in the Okanagan. Fairly close, but not in it.
Canadian geography from a Californian. Consider the source.
But I can tell you all the details about Fairfax, CA … the leftist nirvana in Marin Co. … whose citizens just tried to recall two of their city council members because they “approved” mid-rise high density housing that is mandated by the State of CA because that FREAK 2sLGBTQueer-mutant-IA-MAP State Phaggahattt Sen. Scott Weiner demanded $RICH$ suburban enclaves build their fair share of affordable housing. Pssst … people of Fairfax … YOU VOTED for THIS
$ultra wealthy$ ex-hippies living the sweet life in the transition between suburbia and Neil Young’s old man ranch in Fairfax, CA … don’t want no po people living in their green valley. Nope.

The only person in B.C. with the guts to tell the truth is Dallas Brodie, MLA for Vancouver-Quilchena and Leader of the 1BC party. She is not backing down.

and so my snarky condescending grade 11 dropout brother juuuuuuuust might have that kamlops split level taken out from under him.
in kamloops. where it all started.
This smells a lot like the 1930s decision that it was okay to forcibly sterilize people deemed to be “morons.” The eugenicists hired two lawyers. One pretended to be against allowing it on behalf of one woman and the other was for it on behalf of the eugenicists. These two lawyers working for the same side took the thing all the way to the Supreme Court in the USA and, of course, the lawyer against forced sterilization did a very bad job defending the woman and the eugenicists won. They went ahead with Supreme Court approval rounding up “hillbillies”, putting them in institutions and not letting them out until they agreed to be sterilized. All with the full approval of the courts.
This situation smells the same. Turn BC into one giant reserve where no one has any private property rights and then you can start forcing people into 15 minute cities and declaring huge areas to be “wildlife corridors” where humans are forbidden. You will own nothing and be happy. I still have nightmares about Glenn Beck’s book “Agenda 21.” It’s coming.
The government is likely running scared now. The Chiefs should be too. Rulings such as the Cowichan extinguish the Crown as having any legitimacy to exist on Indian land. If held up by the branch of the grievance industry known as the SCOC, It becomes Mad Max world where 99% of “previous” taxpayers all living off reserves have “officially” no representative government and are essentially squatters living under Indian law which means that real estate transactions involve genocide and slave taking or just genocide. After a few thousand indigenous nobility (most would surrender a month or two after the taxpayers went on strike) become slaves or worse, perhaps extinguishment of indigenous title can be negotiated on more reasonable terms. Shakespeare’s “first we kill all the lawyers” meme could be a rallying cry.
Looks like we’re gonna have to re-steal their lands. No problem. It can easily be done. And when the government designs a new Land Rush of Homesteaders of the “East Indian” extraction … all memory of the indigenous Canadians will be extinguished once and for all. The Newcomers will suddenly give no shits whatsoever about the Red Man.
Once you hear your government doing land acknowledgments, you might as well arm up and prepare.
Decades ago, the BC supreme court ruled that aboriginal title in BC had been extinguished. But the NDP opposition of the time said they recognized aboriginal title. Broadcaster Rafe Mair said that was insane, that if aboriginal title is recognized, that means they own the whole province and we own none of it and then the only question to ask is, how much will this cost us. NDP leader Mike Harcourt said no, it doesn’t mean that, we don’t know what it means. Well how can you recognize aboriginal title if you don’t know what it means? Stupid, stupid, stupid.
The aboriginals were in no doubt about what it means.
