Comment: Richmond land decision creates economic uncertainty – Times Colonist
We have been conditioned to accept the inevitable transfer of collective and private ownership to Indigenous people.
A commentary by a Saanich resident.
I am not astonished about the recent Supreme Court decision granting the Cowichan Tribe title over a large swath of land in Richmond, including privately owned property.
The NDP government has been moving toward this since it came to power in 2017.
It started with social engineering efforts such as beginning all government meetings, and now most public presentations, with Indigenous land recognition recitals: “We are holding this event today on the traditional territories of the ___ peoples.” In the past couple of years, the term “unceded territories” was introduced.
