Richmond lawyer argues that the judge got the Cowichan Decision wrong, and that aboriginal title “cannot coexist” with fee simple ownership: “There cannot be two competing rights of exclusive ownership and possession of the same land.”

Poilievre on the Cowichan Tribes ruling: "A B.C. Supreme Court judge declared that Aboriginal title includes private property—covering 800 acres in Richmond valued over $1B." He warns broader claims could cover up to 12,500 km², with 95% of B.C. considered unceded land.

Latest in the Cowichan aboriginal title ruling in Richmond "Richmond Councillor Alexa Loo, who called this news conference, wants the provincial and federal governments to negotiate with the Cowichan tribes in search of a settlement to bring an end to the uncertainty." Loo "also wants the province to create a way for concerned property owners to cash out without risking their equity." "So if a landowner needs to sell, they can sell maybe into a land trust and at a fair market value, maybe their last assessed value" Alexa Loo 盧仙泳

Aboriginal Land Title Claims are spreading. First it was in BC with the Cowichan Tribe wanting Richmond. Then the Shuswap Tribe wanting Kamloops. In New Brunswick, six Wolastoqey Nations in New Brunswick are seeking recognition over more than 50% of the province's land. Including all of Moncton.

🦅🏡⚖️ : David Eby lied to everyone 11 days ago about the BC Supreme Court ruling on Cowichan land title claims against private property owners, in Richmond British Columbia. 🧐Watch the full brief video as there are several clips added to provide full context. In the last clip hereditary Chief of Lyackson, Huy’wu’qw Shana Thomas, makes it clear, she wants Aboriginal title to apply to all the properties in the same way the Crown had title, when the Crown sold the property to the current land owners. Giving Aboriginal title would nullify the current land owners title and force them to make an agreement with whichever tribe regains land title, through the courts. Remember folks, some properties have multiple land title claims against the property, from multiple 1st Nation tribes. The major question is, why has David Eby not resigned? How many times can a Premier lie to taxpayers on critical issues? David Eby knew for years he could inform private property owners who have a land title claim against their property and he chose to keep them out of the process. This was an intentional act, ensuring the BC Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Cowichan land title claim, Eby is now pretending to partially oppose. How can Eby, the Federal government or the City of Richmond be counted on to fight for land title rights for current property owners, when they all conspired to omit those very property owners, from the court case? 95% of British Columbia could be impacted by the precedence the Cowichan land title ruling presents in Richmond BC. The entire city of Kamloops has a land title claim against it. So it's impossible to ignore the devastating impact this could have on almost everyone in British Columbia who owns property or who has a mortgage / reverse mortgage on their property. This is especially true if lenders begin to refuse to provide loans to people who currently have loan agreements because the risks of lenders losing their loan investments, are too great.

If an indigenous tribe fished on your land 150 years ago, they get to take that land today: that’s aboriginal title. It’s a threat to western civilization. The only remedy is removing it from the Canadian Constitution.

Just look at this filth. Residents near by warned for years that Cowichan Tribes have been turning the environment into a disaster and that all this toxic pollution has making it to the Cowichan River. "Stewards of the land", the most delusional title ever.

Not parody: Cowichan Tribe waited 150 years to make a land claim. Chief turns around and says that the landowner, waited too long to challenge the title case. The landowner waited 2 years. The court accepted a 150 year gap from one party. The court rejected a two year filing from the other as an “abuse of process.”

Great breakdown of private property rights in BC and the uncertainty now surrounding them. 1⃣ Constitutionally, First Nations can only sell reserve land to the federal government — they cannot transfer it directly to non-FN Canadians 2⃣ The Musqueam transfer includes private property within the affected lands 3⃣ The transfer covers both federal and provincial lands 4⃣ The Cowichan tribes could potentially take full possession of lands in Richmond 5⃣In the Cowichan case, the court ruled that the Land Title Act does not apply

Today, I rose in the Legislature to call on this NDP government to provide clear answers to Richmond homeowners and landowners affected by the Cowichan Tribes court case. Many Richmond residents were shocked to receive letters saying Aboriginal title has been declared on their land. Families are anxious and business owners uncertain — wondering, what happens to us now? Homeownership should mean security, not uncertainty. Let’s restore confidence and protect the foundation of our community. Conservative Caucus of BC #bcpoli

🚨We keep hearing claims that the Cowichan “don’t want” the affected Richmond PRIVATE PROPERTY. That misses the point entirely. The court has granted ABORIGINAL TITLE over the affected private property in RICHMOND. Whether the COWICHAN choose to exercise that right to that private property is irrelevant — the legal right now exists and may be accessed. This COWICHAN DECISION directly affects the families who own those affected private properties, and it should concern all British Columbians. With 95% of British Columbia exposed to Indigenous land claims, this ruling creates UNCERTAINTY that can be repeated in other communities across the province. The NDP government should have acted to protect PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS before this issue reached a court ruling.

🚨 BREAKING The BC government is not telling the public about a major land claim in Kamloops, where a First Nations group is claiming rights to the WHOLE REGION of Kamloops. The MLA says that there is a lot of claims like this that the public isn’t being notified about. The Cowichan land claim ruling is spreading far and wide. Unreal.

Courts Just KILLED PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS In Canada!! Cowichan Aboriginal Title Ruling EXPLAINED!! Private property rights in Canada are under a full-scale assault and the courts just slammed the door on the victims. In a shocking ruling, a B.C. Supreme Court judge refused to reopen the explosive Cowichan Aboriginal title case, shutting out private landowners who were never properly notified or given a voice during a 513-day marathon trial. Their industrial lands in Richmond, home to major businesses like Coca-Cola plants and Canadian Tire depots, have now been thrown into legal chaos under a declaration of Aboriginal title. Justice Barbara Young dismissed their application as an "abuse of process," prioritizing "finality" over the fundamental rights of fee-simple owners. In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth explains why this sets a dangerous precedent where your deed could be overridden without you ever having a seat at the table. This isn’t reconciliation, it’s a direct threat to every homeowner, business owner, and investor in Canada. Property rights, the foundation of freedom and prosperity, are being treated as optional. Will your land be next? Share this video like your property depends on it….because one day it might!
