Sun- Ottawa’s land claims program is spiralling out of control
In the 2024-25 fiscal year alone, Ottawa settled 69 claims worth $7.1 billion. Just a decade earlier, in 2014-15, only 15 claims were settled, at a total cost of $36 million — an increase of nearly 200 times in dollar value.
A bombshell judgement was released yesterday by BC’s Supreme Court, declaring Aboriginal title over land in Richmond, including private property.
If this stands, it has massive implications for private property across BC.

Meet Jordan Tucker, a former CBC reporter.
This is her own profile picture – note the pride progress CBC logo. It’s too perfect.
Last Spring, Tucker attempted to do what CBC does everyday: push a woke activist agenda and pretend it’s real journalism.
She interviewed Professor Frances Widdowson on April 1, 2024 for a hit piece
But what she didn’t expect is that @FrancesWiddows1 also RECORDED the conversation and posted it on Youtube in July 2025.
Here is a preview of the absolute TRAIN WRECK that unfolded.
Somebody make it stop.
Winnipeg Police: "One of our senior officers is a psychopathic serial criminal who—while maybe high on coke and mushrooms—sold drugs, extorted people and took grotesque pictures with dead women in their underwear. But before we get to that, let's do a dozen land acknowledgments." pic.twitter.com/YjvTgXIbAj

Blacklocks – Indigenous ok is mandatory for any projects on Turtle Island. (paywall)
That didn’t take long. I guess canoe routes take moral and legal precedence over mining development. Who knew?
Chief Bruce Achneepineskum says his people have seen the ill-effects of development on their territory without their consent, with the water diversion destroying fish populations and drying up canoe routes, and they do not want it to happen again.
Just imagine how wealthy you could be if taxpayers could be forced to pony up most of your investment capital. The sky’s the limit when it comes to ventures with unpronounceable names.
The money is going to Lil’wat Business Group to help it build Tseqwtsúqum, a housing and commercial space planned for the Function Junction neighbourhood of the mountain town.
The federal agency agreed last year to put up to $100 million to support the program, which provides below-market rate loans to help Indigenous communities realize their development goals.
Blacklock’s- $704M Graves Fund Requests
A federal fund for exhumation of suspected graves at Indian Residential Schools is heavily oversubscribed, says a report. First Nations have applied for more than $700 million in funding, triple the original budget.
Rebel- First Nations request $704M to exhume alleged graves
In 2021, following the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation’s claim of 215 graves at a Kamloops Residential School site, cabinet announced the fund. Though no remains were found, the First Nation received $12.1 million for exhumations and DNA testing.
Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew chose not to sign a new interprovincial trade agreement unveiled Tuesday by Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario, citing the need for Indigenous consensus before moving forward with major infrastructure projects.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), signed during the Council of the Federation meeting in Huntsville, Ontario, commits the three provinces to collaborate on the construction of new pipelines, rail lines, and trade infrastructure. The goal is to expand market access for Canadian oil, gas, and critical minerals while reducing reliance on foreign trade partners.
Kinew’s absence from the agreement raises questions, especially given Manitoba’s geographic location as a natural link in any east–west corridor. However, in a public statement, the premier said Manitoba’s decision not to participate was intentional.
The time for end paying into equalization is now. Stop the talk and start the walk.
Sun- Indigenous spending nears $32B, but results still lacking
Ottawa has invested approximately $200 billion since 2015 in Indigenous priorities including education, housing, child welfare, water infrastructure, and more. Yet despite this decade-long investment, persistent gaps remain — and the public has few clear answers on how these funds are making a measurable difference.
Douglas Murray- Who really built this country?
Anyone who has visited Canada or Australia in recent years might have noticed an interesting new tradition. This is the trend for issuing a ‘land acknowledgement’ at the start of any public event. Before discussion gets under way, some bureaucrat or other will get up and note that we are all fortunate enough to be on the land of X, and then garble the name of some not-especially-ancient tribe. The moment gives everyone a feeling of deep meaning and naturally achieves nothing.
Nothing says “togetherness and understanding” like a one way conversation.
Jonathan Kay’s annual Canada Day reminder that Trudeau & his govt “celebrated” Canada Day 2021 by peddling the lie that the “remains” of 215 dead children had been dug out of a field in BC.
I realize that there is a polite, unstated social contract in Canadian political circles that says we should all just pretend the 2021 unmarked graves social panic never happened. We should all just forget about it. It’s rude to bring it up. Erase it from your mind. I refuse to do that.

National Post- She objected to land acknowledgments. Now she’s paying the price for her heresy
“In my view, the Board’s imposition of a land acknowledgment during our school council meetings undermines the democratic process and constitutes a form of compelled speech, which I believe contravenes the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. There is no school board policy mandating its inclusion. In my opinion, the sentiments implied by the land acknowledgment, are political in nature, highly controversial, and therefore divisive and inappropriate within a government institution. And I respectfully request that my objection be noted in the minutes of this meeting.”
