I’d rather that the Supreme Court ruled that aboriginal title doesn’t apply to government land either, since the acceptance of that precedent has already saddled taxpayers with billions of dollars in undeserved payouts, but at least someone finally drew a line in the sand.
The Supreme Court of Canada has upheld a ruling that Aboriginal title cannot be declared over private land, in a decision the federal government says will have an impact on the Cowichan Tribes case in British Columbia.
conquered not stolen
Not even conquered. More a polite ‘excuse us, we’re just going to farm here, thanks.”
Yes, this is a small victory, but I personally think that British Columbia is “Fubared” with this NDP government.
When I drove to Ottawa as part of my move one month ago, I observed that people from SE Asia (AKA India) have taken over all of the service stations/snack bars along the road – even in WaWa, Ontario. Thunder Bay and Sudbury also had people from India running the motels in which I stayed. I think that our “feathers” are discovering that the “dots” are taking over and leaving the indigenous people in the dust.
“…upheld a ruling that Aboriginal title cannot be declared over private land…”
I can smell the tires burning already…
perhaps, juuuuust perhaps, despite the hard core Liberal bias of this SCOC, MAYBE they kinda ‘realized’ the real estate and property traditions(?) HELL it wd create to let the BC thing stand . . . .
That’s all well and good … but the Indians are STILL being allowed to behave like the rogue terrorist State of Iran by commandeering public lands and charge a toll to anyone who dares to cross it.
“…but the Indians are STILL being allowed to behave like the rogue terrorist State of Iran…”
They’re doing more than charge a toll, Kenji. I live down the road a ways from the 6 Nations, I’m not kidding about them burning tires over stuff like this.
Hilariously, it isn’t the -local- 6 Nations dudes making a ruckus. Communists (or Pantifa, or whatever flag they’re working under this week) bus them in from the USA to do the “demonstrating” and then bus them back again when the provincial government gives them what they want. Or when winter comes, bunch of pussies.
