But what do the conservative grifter politicians and influencers think? Surely they should be the most reliable source for information.
I read the piece and it really isn’t very convincing. It doesn’t state anything we don’t already know. There is no legal argument presented as to how aborginal title and fee simple title can co-exist.
It mostly says private landowners won’t be affected because the cowichan are so thoughtful and considerate and pinky promise they won’t do anything about it, even though they sought the title. Then it goes on to talk about white nationalism and how anyone concerned with this decision is fear mongering.
The potential for conflict between bands and non-native landowners is the least interesting part of this story. How the hell is the Canadian state going to mediate overlapping land claims between bands is the real problem.
Nobody is going to go along with whoever gets a judgement first wins.
When I worked on consultations we often had to hold separate briefings for each of the affected bands because when traditional territory was on the agenda you couldn’t get these guys in the same room.
I couldn’t tell you how many times I was told by one band that the other bands were lying at the behest of white lawyers and their traditional lands that they should return to are somewhere in the US.
I believe that certain terms and concepts have very different meanings from legal, governmental, and common civilian usage that create a lot of ambiguity and concern from people who aren’t steeped in Government and legal terminology or knowledge.
Anyone wanna take an over/under on how long it takes for the band to go bankrupt because of all the lawsuits they’ll face when they try to enforce tribal law in the fuckin heart of a major city.
Zero percent chance this works out to literally anyone’s benefit besides the bloodsucking lawyers.
