In a decision that is sure to ruffle feathers, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Barbara Young declared the Cowichan Tribes have established Aboriginal title to roughly 800 acres in Richmond.
So are those granted title going to be liable for back taxes on improvements to the property? Did the court judgement say anything about liability and compensation to those who have obtained a provincial property title in good faith?
Another huge win for the Aboriginal Industry. And yet another door is open to milk the taxpayers of even more $$. The land title claims will certainly escalate.
Well, at Canadians have been "acknowledging lands" for the last decade in every public venue imaginable. No wonder the subjects of that acknowledgment would devolve to entitlement.
Well, I guess that means the aboriginal band must reimburse all the taxpayers for half of all the billions they put into developing, servicing, maintaining and improving those lands over the decades.

Canada going down the toilet one racist decision after another.
“The 863-page judgment”,
What a crock of crap.
Indigenous do not want land, they want money, billions.
Get stuffed.

Stupid
Our courts are completely out of control.
