Amy Eileen Hamm Srsly? Let’s look at the timeline. Explorers arrive and “discover” lands already inhabited. Settlers follow, bringing disease, guns, and gods. Land stolen. Nations starved into submission. Treaties signed, then broken. Meanwhile, British Columbia is settled without treaties at

BlendrNews I share your concern about government overreach; we’ve lived under it the longest. But this isn’t “equity theatre” or a new land grab. From an Indigenous perspective, it’s the Crown finally being forced to face its first breach of law--selling land it never lawfully acquired.

Canada decision (2025 BCSC 1490) rests on extensive trial evidence of pre-sovereignty occupation, making factual overturn in the BC Court of Appeal unlikely—appeals succeed in under 20% of civil cases, and appellate deference to trial findings is strong

I didn’t make this meme-but it seems to capture the trend of the past 9 years of the Trudeau gov’t’s—now the Carney gov’t’s—National Termination Plan, which the majority of Indian Act Chiefs & Councils have accepted & are leading the Bands & Reserves into! #EconomicReconciliation

“Reconciliation” without restitution is just recolonization. Turning Indigenous Title into fee simple property is extinguishment through paperwork. You can’t decolonize land by privatizing it. The Liberals haven’t changed their minds since Pierre Trudeau’s 1969 White Paper —

In 2023 Feds tabled its CANDRIP (Bill C-15) Nat’l Action-Plan that includes ending Indian Act-but prior to that, action-plan includes addressing 2nd Generation Cut-off of Indian Status & approving Bands take-over of control of Band Membership Lists under sec. 10 until Self-Gov’t!

Chanel Pfahl Dallas Brodie By that definition, Dallas Brodie would be speaking about broken treaties, cultural genocide, stolen children, and unceded lands. Real truth isn’t comfortable, nor should it be when Canada refuses accountability. Broken treaties were deliberately violated while governments

Corey J. Belford Chanel Pfahl Dallas Brodie If acknowledging stolen land makes Canada look illegitimate, that’s because it is. A state that breaks every treaty it signed with it's Indigenous partners is, by definition, a failed state.”

Mortimer Richmond isn’t Hong Kong and Canada isn’t China, she’s wrong and you’re just repeating a false equivalency to promote your racist BS misrepresenting the Cowichan court decision!

Perhaps you weren't listening? The Royal Proclamation of 1763 recognized that Indigenous Nations held title to their lands and that only treaties could lawfully transfer that title. In 1850 the Robinson-Huron and Robinson-Superior Treaties promised annuities tied to the wealth

Maada'ookii IO The Vancouver Sun No, inciting fear, anger, or anti-Indigenous sentiment isn't a fair outcome; it erodes trust essential for reconciliation, as seen in backlash to abrupt title rulings without clear mitigation paths.

Scott McInnis MLA Fair? What was fair about Canada ignoring its own foundational laws? The Royal Proclamation of 1763 explicitly acknowledged Aboriginal Title. Was it fair when Canada coerced and rewrote treaties from their original intent? Or, when they broke those treaties? Or, never finished
