Like it or not, the outlook for Canada’s future has changed considerably in the past couple of months.
Not because of anything our governments did or did not do, at least during recent months; not because of any earth-shattering discoveries or insights gained in relation to our changing climate, although extreme weather events have continued their costly and devastating path of destruction across the country, as well as around the world; and not because of any startling new international events.
The one factor that has made a major difference in the outlook for this country is that the Supreme Court of Canada has done what it is supposed to do, provide rulings and interpretations in relation to legal cases and issues referred to it.
In June, the court affirmed the right of the Tsilghot’in First Nations to title over an area of central British Columbia.
