A huge decision for all the reasons @NVanCaroline laid out, but also b/c the Haida never had to legally prove Aboriginal title as defined by Cdn constitutional law criteria. Instead, the BC govt arbitrarily recognized title across the entire archipelago, incl private title land.

« Canada has repeatedly endorsed the idea that the country’s institutions are all fundamentally racist. […] Quebec, however, has proved the most consistent holdout to the notion that their governing structures are self-evidently racist. » ⚜️💪 nationalpost.com/opinion/quebec…

Citizens empowered to protect themselves should terrify criminals. Every would-be burglar, carjacker, and abuser should know that he is taking his life into his own hands the moment he violates a family’s home. My latest for the @nationalpost nationalpost.com/opinion/geoff-…

This is an important ques: what will BC & Fed govts argue in their appeal (assuming the Cdn govt also appeals the Cowichan decision)? B/c we'll never known how not arguing for extinguishment influenced the judge's ruling that Aboriginal title supercedes private property rights.

“We can’t have an immigration system that outpaces our ability to build schools, & housing, and we can’t have an immigration program that results in high unemployment,” says @Dave_Eby. It's becoming 'safe' to say the obvious. 1/2 #cdnpoli @mikalskuterud vancouversun.com/news/ottawa-ca…

How is it the public interest to withhold "in their entirety" the contract and terms of the bid between BC Ferries & Chinese govt-owned Weihai Shipyard? Seems to me, the terms of the contract & bid are 100% in the public interest.

Almost a year after expressing interest in expanding food production on agricultural land, advocates are wondering why the BC government isn’t moving on the issue. My latest in @BeatNorthern: northernbeat.ca/opinion/bc-sho…

Interesting analysis of Cowichan Aborginal title decision with @PardyBruce & Victoria lawyer Bruce Hallsor. Pardy calls @Dave_Eby's stated commitment to upholding property rights "nonesense," because some BC govt agreements with FNs threaten private property rights.

NEW - On eve of @bcgeu strike vote results tomorrow, @bcndp inks tentative framework deal with Hospital Employees' Union, cutting BCGEU out at the knees with a far less lucrative proposal. BCGEU responds it is "disappointed" at lack of solidarity by fellow union.

Terrible. Police i've spoken with are particularly demoralized at being able to do the job they risk their lives to do – protect citizens. Then ppl blame them for the flaws in the system that police themselves are also actually battling.

Canadian filmmaker Sean Menard recently uncovered nearly 100 reels of film chronicling Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope in 1980. This previously unseen footage is coming out later this year in a documentary titled “Run Terry Run”. It looks incredible.
