David Eby is giving away hundreds of thousands of acres to First Nations communities

B.C. MLA Steve Kooner joins Harrison Faulkner to discuss 334,000 acres of Crown land transfers, shrinking public access and the explosive questions surrounding Aboriginal title in B.C.

British Columbia Premier David Eby is about to hand over hundreds of thousands of acres of prime Crown real estate to First Nations groups for absolutely nothing in return.

This includes waterfront property, at least two national parks, Royal Roads University and Hatley Castle. As B.C. MLA Steve Kooner describes it, this is the radical land back agenda in full force.

Kooner says the B.C. government has already given away approximately 334,000 acres of public land, with virtually no public say in the process. He argues that the government needs to halt the land transfers and increase transparency around negotiations so British Columbians can understand what is at stake.

The bigger question is simple: what happens to public Crown land once it is in the possession of First Nations communities?

Harrison Faulkner says this is the natural next step from land acknowledgements. First it was just proclaiming that the land belonged to First Nations. But now the radical left is actually just giving it to them.
