What a shocker. No wonder TMX cost 34 billion dollars.

Sounds like the companies wised up. If they took it to court they’d have lost billions, now they’re only giving them millions. It’s a win lose, lose for the bands. Almost, they almost took em to court and became billionaires, whew. Close.

It’s just holding the public purse hostage at this point. The pendulum is swinging back and especially in BC.
One of the unintended side effects of three land claims is that how a particular native native band came to be the exclusive occupiers of the land is usually brutal. Once people start reading that, for example, the Cowichan were raiding adjacent villages, beheading and enslaving them, and for reasons of petty vengeance, the 2026 public feels not so obligated to give the 2026 defendants of this behavior any special treatment..

Extortion at it’s finest. First Nations are really trying hard to make Canada uninvestable.

„The Lax Kw’alaams news release said as part of the benefit agreement, which includes procurement opportunities, it has withdrawn its challenge.“
Benefit agreement = legal extortion deferred.
Legalized extortion formally endorsed by our provincial and federal governments.
