Saw someone post on another platform something that said "XXX are the most resilient #indigenous people in the world"
And I understand the sentiment, but there are ways praise the strength of people without indirectly denigrating other #struggles around the world. Let's remember tha…

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 Quw’utsun (Cowichan) First Nation was exactly right in 2017:
""We don’t want to argue about settlers' interests versus First Nations' interests — we want to argue about what the Crown did wrong.””
They knew that if the case was framed as ‘taking over private property rights’, that it would be politicized and a lightning rod for racism and misinformation when that was not the point of their claim, which was against the Crown.
""It would be wrong. It’s wrong morally, it’s wrong legally. It’s pitting interests against each other when the person who caused the problem is the Crown.””
Another excellent report from CBC's Jason Proctor.
