To the supreme court of Canada.
Thank you for the greatest f*&k up yet.
Do the non' aboriginal that have homes and ranches it that area have to pay their taxes to the aboriginals or B.C.
Every body should be treated the same.
If the white people weren't here the natives would still be throwing rocks at their next meal.
I guess the white people would be too if the Chinese hadn't invented gun powder?
""Gunpowder was, according to prevailing academic consensus, invented in the 9th century in China, and the earliest record of a written formula for gunpowder ...""
Except that Ascanio Sobrero, an Italian "white" person, invented Nitroglycerine - a necessary component of smokeless powder.
Just for clarity's sake, I should point out that the Royal Proclamation of 1763 declared that natives have title to the land and such title could only be given up through treaties or by sale to the Crown. Furthermore as recently as 1982 the Government of Canada confirmed the The Charter of Rights that Aboriginal Rights (which include Title) exist. The Supreme Court of Canada is merely applying the law - ie: "don't shoot the messenger". So by law, native title exists where there were no treaties and sales. And guess what? Almost none of BC has been ceded via treaties, therefore pretty much all of BC is technically native lands.
We have some interesting times ahead of us.
