If you are trying to figure out the Cowichan Lands court ruling and what it means for private property, this article by the CBC's always-excellent court-reporter Jason Proctor, is, again, excellent.
This tidbit was particularly illuminating and should raise questions as to why we are in this state of 'panic' now:
"Back in 2017, Canada's Attorney General sought an order requiring the Quw'utsun to notify third-party homeowners, but the judge overseeing proceedings at the time rejected the application after the Quw'utsun said they weren't seeking title or possession of any private lands.
"However," Justice Jennifer Power wrote, "my decision does not prevent any of the defendants from providing informal notice to private landowners if they wish to do so.””
ie. Richmond, the Province, and others should have told the landowners not only that this court process was happening, but most importantly that *their property titles* were not being threatened!

The NDP Leadership race is heating up now that the deadline for membership signups is only two weeks away (Jan 28).
Leah Gazan, MP for Winnipeg Centre, and Anjali Appadurai, former BC NDP Leadership candidate who scared the #BCNDP so bad they had to disqualify her from the race, have both today announced their support for Avi Lewis as NDP Leadership candidate. I believe Appadurai has been working in Lewis’ campaign since the beginning.
Both of these women are strong NDP leaders with deeply progressive followers, young and old.
Here is the message from Ghazan endorsing Lewis.
Ghazan has been a strong advocate for:
