      >The text of the rights recognition agreement, which runs 30 pages, was not released in February when the deal was signed. It does not reference private property, an issue of acute public interest since the B.C. Supreme Court ruled in a separate case last August known as the Cowichan decision. It stated that Aboriginal title is a “prior and senior right” to land, over and above the “fee simple” title that private landholders have.

      >The Musqueam’s traditional territories span approximately 533,000 hectares, including much of modern-day Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond and Delta.

      >The federal government and the Musqueam maintain the agreements will not affect private property rights. But a leading expert in Aboriginal litigation, Thomas Isaac, said the agreements are so vague, those assurances ring hollow.

      They are going after jurisdiction, not the titles. This could actually be worse in the long term.

      If they had been transparent from the start, maybe all of this could have been avoided, but too late for that now

    4. Framing it like giving away our public lands and key decision making like its not a huge deal.

      Our government is certainly not looking out for our best interests.

      If this was truly about property rights, they would have their land back.

      Seems like we’re going to a constitutional crisis sooner than later.

      You cannot run a first world city in a first world country while having to consult and crawl to a separate government

      As well as taxation without representation being illegal in Canada per Sections 53 and 54 of the Constitution Act, 1867

      This is a huge issue that needs to be addressed but like a few other things it’s completely toxic politically which will result in it sticking around until there is a crisis.

    9. Only from the most fanatical „analysts“ that haven’t been paying attention until now

    10. We’re tired of being gas lit by people saying there’s nothing to worry about and that no one’s private property rights are at risk.

      That’s exactly the line that people who defended the Cowichan decision sold us.

      Vancouver getting what they voted for I guess. Vote for a far-left party and then act surprised when they turn around and affirm that you are living on stolen land. 

    12. Good. This is what the feds get for releasing this news at 5pm on a Friday.

      And now the surrounding bands/tribes/whatever they call themselves now are starting to fight each other about this.
