A judge of the British Columbia Supreme Court recently found that the Cowichan First Nation holds Aboriginal title over 800 acres of government land in Richmond, B.C. But that’s not all. Wherever Aboriginal title is found to exist, said the court, it is a “prior and senior right” to fee simple title, whether public or private. That means it trumps the property you have in your house, farm or factory.

A Crack Beneath the Rug
Canada’s reputation for unfailing politeness is like that neighbor you trust completely, the one you’d invite over to watch the game and have a beer, and you’d feel confident they wouldn’t take off with your favorite beer stein.
That same neighbor might harbor a secret, even him, that he might have a crack beneath his basement. Unseen, that is, until it opens up. That crack doesn’t disrespect your hospitality; it simply IS.

Recognition of Palestine as a state has become popular among some members of the United Nations. French president Macron and others like him should be aware that a state is more than a wish your heart makes. An analogy to the Palestinian State scheme is Rumpelstiltskin spinning gold from straw.
Police used “Orwellian” powers to gag a firefighter and prevent him revealing he had been arrested after posting online messages criticising his bosses.
Staffordshire Police told Robert Moss that his right to “freedom of expression” had to be “limited to maintain public safety and order” following his arrest on suspicion of malicious communications.
But a special bail hearing at Newcastle-Under-Lyme magistrates’ court overturned the “gagging clause” amid fears officers were behaving as if they lived in a “police state”.
With the federal carbon tax dead and gone, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has found a new target among the Liberal government’s climate policies — the electric vehicle availability standard, otherwise known as the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate.
“We will legalize, into the future, your right to drive a gas or diesel-powered truck or car by repealing the Liberal EV mandate,” Poilievre said last week, while restating his desire to see a number of Liberal policies repealed.
The Iranian regime, long marked by hostility and defiance toward the United States and its allies, is suddenly portraying itself as eager to talk.
Reports confirm that Tehran is now negotiating with the EU3 — France, the United Kingdom and Germany — and has even stated that it is open to discussions with the United States. This is the same regime that has built its entire political identity around hatred for America, branding the U.S. the “Great Satan” and chanting “Death to America” at every major gathering. It is the same ruling elite that has repeatedly vowed to export its Islamist revolution far beyond the Middle East, aiming especially to destabilize and infiltrate Western nations. The question then becomes: why would such a fanatical and ideologically rigid regime suddenly want to sit at the table with its sworn enemies?
Prime Minister Poilievre?
Next week, the good people of Battle River-Crowfoot will elect a new member of Parliament and the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) can get back to worrying about the future.
Thousands of North Koreans are being sent to work in slave-like conditions in Russia to fill a huge labour shortage exacerbated by Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, the BBC has learned.
Moscow has repeatedly turned to Pyongyang to help it fight the war, using its missiles, artillery shells and its soldiers.
Now, with many of Russia’s men either killed or tied up fighting – or having fled the country – South Korean intelligence officials have told the BBC that Moscow is increasingly relying on North Korean labourers.
A man has been arrested and will remain in custody after allegedly hurling abuse at a group of people in Montreal’s Saint-Laurent borough, including death threats, caught on video, towards a Jewish man.
…. The incident comes just a week after a separate case in which a 23-year-old man was charged with assaulting a Jewish father in front of his children in Montreal’s Parc-Extension neighbourhood. In another incident, a woman was arrested after throwing liquid that ‘smelled like urine’ at Jewish participants at the Montreal pride parade last Sunday.
More hate in Montreal, @spvm thanks for the arrest. @MarkJCarney @AHousefather @RachelBendayan @Val_Plante urgent action is needed. No more hate in Canada, Montreal. #polmtl #polcan pic.twitter.com/4eNo7M9Xw7

This year we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of NewsBusters, so as part of this momentous event we are looking back at some of the most outrageous outbursts of bias captured by our analysts and bloggers over the years.
A good collection.
The House of Commons and Canada’s cybersecurity agency are investigating a significant data breach caused by an unknown “threat actor” targeting employee information.
According to an internal email obtained by CBC News, the House of Commons alerted staff on Monday that there was an information breach. It said a malicious actor was able to exploit a recent Microsoft vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to a database containing information used to manage computers and mobile devices.
Oh sure BCF has been under a months long DDOS attack but all CBC cares about is Stupid Parliament.
KYIV — President Donald Trump said Saturday that Ukraine and Russia should go straight to agreeing on a final peace deal, dropping his demand for a ceasefire in a dramatic reversal that aligns him with Russian President Vladimir Putin hours after their summit in Alaska.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, with the backing of European leaders, has insisted that a ceasefire must be in place before any negotiations to end the war. In the run-up to the summit, European officials had expressed guarded optimism that the United States was aligning with them after Trump had earlier pushed for a ceasefire. Zelensky said Saturday he would be traveling to Washington to discuss the summit with Trump.
The Canadian government asked an independent labour board to order more than 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants back to work, less than 12 hours into a strike that caused hundreds of flights to be cancelled.
Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu directed the Canada Industrial Relations Board to order parties to resume and continue operations and duties. She also asked the board to impose final and binding arbitration, and extend the terms of the parties’ existing contract until a new one can be determined.
