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.

Take property from you and give it to people who didn't work for it. Title transfers and money exchanged in the past will mean nothing.
Black robed thugs. Only this time, it is not immigrants from Pakistan exploiting this.
Wow. I’ve been seeing lots of commercials on TV and YouTube about title theft. I didn’t realize government was the perp.

Aside from Roe, and possibly Obamacare, Kelo may be the worse SCOTUS ruling in the past 100 years.
Keeping Kelo is a step closer to a British Columbia “taking.”
Overturning Kelo would be glorious.
Agreed. When I read about “IP theft” I have thought it was about intellectual property, not Indian property.
Hand everything over to drug and alcohol addicts
Kelo may be the worst SCOTUS ruling in the past 100 years.
Make sure you bulldoze it before you leave
Too late. Robed judicial terrorists.
i bet all the properties are very nice, high end, properties.
they’d never give them run down or ghetto properties.
meanwhile, did they have a deed to the land? no? just squatters rights?
yea... that court is packed full of leftist idiots
That is going to go well with all the property owners who have now had their houses and land taken. This action has the makings of an all-out civil war. What idiots are in charge of Canadian government? This could incite a violent overthrow of the Canadian government.
Who will pay off the bank mortgages on homes seized? The mortgages are now worthless. I’m sure the banks are thrilled.
Q: When a squaw is making love to an Indian what does she say?
A: Hey Dad, don't crush my smokes.
“Make sure you bulldoze it before you leave”
Damn straight. Full scorched-earth.
I guess the idea is that the current homeowner will have to negotiate to buy their home from the Native…ie reparations
Extremely extreme robbery. $#$(*&*
Several years ago, I had a neibor/friend who was part Indian and he drove me around a couple of reservations to show me how awful life was for the Indians. Actually it was for some of them, but definitely not all. His relatives had a gorgeous home in a lovely neighborhood where many residents were AmerInds.
Kids in the tribe were given, as I recall, $15,000 when they turned 18. Probably more now, Most bought tpickups and drank themselvsinto oblivion with the $$. Some did their best and had fairly OK lives on or off the “Rez”. And a few did very well indeed. One gorgeous woman he knew was a university professor of NativeAamerican Studies. Probably other unis have these classes if located in places that have Amerind populations.
But robbing Anglos is totally wrong and I hope this idiot judgement is appealed.
The next time you see a left winger reciting a land acknowledgement before a speech - we meet on fuchowie land - it’s not a joke. The next big progressive thing will be to give the Indians their land back. Land reform was always a baseline communist tactic.
The Comanches were a pretty big problem on horseback. Imagine if they woulda just had lawyers!
Not really. Canadians are the most pusillanimous pricks out there. I am cheering this overreach. Makes me happy.
Be a shame if something like this happened to Martha’s Vineyard.
