Homeowners in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada are being told to attend a city meeting next week because apparently their property titles might not mean what they thought they did. They may no longer own their own property after a court ruling.
The meeting, set for October 28, follows a British Columbia Supreme Court ruling that gave the Cowichan Tribes Aboriginal title to about 7.5 square kilometres of land on Lulu Island, an area that includes private homes, farms, golf courses, and even port facilities. The August 7 decision said the Nation had exclusive occupation of the land before 1846, meaning Crown-issued titles were “unjustifiable infringements.”
This means that land people and businesses have legally owned for decades is now, technically, under Aboriginal title. This calls the ownership of land people purchased legally into question.
Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said the city hand-delivered about 125 notices to residents and is hosting the meeting to help them “understand what’s going on.”
“It’s to make sure landowners are fully aware of the court’s decision, how we got here, and where things go from here,” Brodie told CBC News. Brodie said he’s worried the ruling could wreck the entire property system that underpins ownership in the province.

I wonder if this will lead to violence?
The "Indians" aren't getting a damned thing back. Pound sand.
You wanna crash a housing market? Collapse the banking system?
Cause this is how you do it.
Yes. This ruling was in Aug. Since then the title on all private properties on the Queen Charlotte Islands was awarded to the natives.
Various virtue signalling Douches in wealthy areas like South Oak Bay actually had custom plaques outside their homes declaring they were on unceded territory. (I haven’t checked if they are still there)
I believe this newspaper story shows is the end game. The Courts wouldn’t allow the Musqueum Indian Band to raise the annual lease rates on houses they own to $80,000 per year.
But they did allow $20,000-30,000 per year.
1846? Statute of limitations? “ The Cowichan were the only Indigenous group to occupy these lands, and>>> they used intimidation and force to keep other Indigenous groups out of these lands. <<<<Thus, the Cowichan exclusively occupied the Cowichan Title Lands.” Sounds like somebody, presumable the English used intimidation and force to take it from them. Purchases made in blood, why one more sacred than another?
Cowichan?
So, there was someone, some other tribe before the Cowichan that inhabited that area. The Cowichan qualify as evil colonizers that stole the land.
Find out who was there before the Cowichan. Let’s call them The Pre-Cowichan. The current home/land owners can then “identify as Pre-Cowichan” and occupy their ancestral land.
I can just hear the protestors chant: “Hey, Ho, the Cowichan have got to go!”
"those people better learn to croupier and fast!"
About the US—what is the background for the TV ads that have an official say “It is against the law for us to refuse the fraudulent document. We have to accept it and approve it.”
What kind of system allows that absolute outrage?
(Don’t answer).
There are NO "native Canadians," just as there are no native Americans. Their DNA says that they are descendants of ORIENATAL ASIANS, who migrated across the Bering Straits when it was a solid land mass. That WAS eons ago but DNA doesn't change just because of migration,
I found this out when I had my own DNA tested. My mother had 8% Oriental Asian in her. I inherited that. So I have a tiny bit of Oriental Asian in me.
ALL those Canadians, North/Central/South Americans who are called "Indians" are not native to the Americas in any way shape or form.
However, they were the FIRST Americans.
Nothing wrong with that.
The left has its head in the ground. I ENJOY watching the left stutter, stammer and screech whenever Trump speaks.
And, I DO enjoy watching those drug shipments from South America get blown to bits.
Ok...let’s be sure the judges property is first.

Try cheating PRC nationals out of multi-million-dollar properties and Beijing will overrule the Canadian court.
There’s such a thing as estoppel.
If you wait too long to make a claim the claim is void.
If I bought the property 20 years ago and you didn’t show up before a significant part of the sales proceeds were spent, it’s too late.
Good advice.
Exactly.
The Canadians call them First Nations people.
LOL, ah yes, the casinos.
Friend took me to local one. I had really good luck, first time I tried one of those machines, , I made $100. Made a a lot of money on that machine every time we went. Then he met Miss Right and got married. I never went back to casino. Really I have better things to do. We all do.
You picked wisely.
Both of them undercut private property rights.
Kelo allows the govt to take your home if when repurposed it can increase the tax base.
Wickard let the govt regulate what a farmer (and, presumably, anyone) can grow even if it’s solely for personal consumption.
They’re both ghastly.
I’ll stick with Kelo, but it’s a close decision. Thank you.
