So you're not concerned what Carney and the Liberals have done to Canadians? Do you know Carney and his entourage spent half a million dollars on luxury catering in his first year on his travels?

In the past eleven years under the Liberals, Canada has gone to the dogs. Home prices doubled or more, costs of everything rose deamatically, millions more people depend on food banks, tent cities everwhere, crime really bad, endless catch and release, daily extortion shootings, widespread gangs from India, vast numbers of immigrants living off generous government handouts that citizens don't receive to name a few. Health care failing. Also 1.8 Trillion in debt and federal deficit around 70 billion. Thank the Liberals.

You are imagining things. FNs claim 125% of the province as their land. This is nothing but a scam to continue to rip off whitey. Your idea that BC can sit down and resolve everything by negotiating a deal with 5% of the population who claim it all belong to them is total nonsense. The reason there are no treaties in much of the province is because their demands are ridiculous nonsense. They don't own the province. When Europeans settled here it became part of a new country. That's just how the world was settled. People in other countries simply migrated into new areas or areas that were already settled and took over. That's how the world was settled. Look at Europe, the UK and you see nobody pays compensation or negotiates with descendants of previous occupants. The idea is all part of the radical Socialist NDP ideology. They are screwing the non-natives of BC big time. They negotiate in secret with some FN and give them big tracs of land. Now some FNs are taking over the LNG industry. Where do you they think they got the money to be owners of LNG? The answer is the federal and provincial governments who are giving them everything. You might live in a highly populated FN area but overall they are only about 5% of the population and should have no rights more than the other 95%. Everyone has the same rights. They are not special with rights above everyone else. They don't own the province. God created this earth for everyone.

BC Land Claims 2026: What's Happening Now and What It Means for Canadian Homeowners Back to all articles For most Canadians, the idea that someone could show up and challenge ownership of your home or business sounds far-fetched. But that's essentially what happened in Richmond, BC and it started with a question that Canadian courts had never fully answered: what happens when Indigenous people never gave up their land? In 2019, the Quw'utsun (Cowichan) Tribes launched a legal claim over approximately 1,800 acres along the north bank of the Fraser River. Land that now includes homes, industrial parks, a golf course, Amazon and Canadian Tire distribution centres, and fuel storage tanks serving Vancouver International Airport. The Cowichan argued that this land was their ancestral village, Tl'uqtinus, and that it was never formally surrendered to the Crown through a treaty. What followed was the longest trial in Canadian history — 513 days over six years, involving more than 80 lawyers and the federal government, the Province of BC, the City of Richmond, and two other First Nations who opposed the claim. On August 7, 2025, BC Supreme Court Justice Barbara Young ruled in the Cowichan's favour. She found that the Crown had unjustifiably infringed on Cowichan title by granting fee simple titles — standard private property ownership — over land the Nation never gave up. Some of those Crown-issued titles, she ruled, were "defective and invalid." The decision sent shockwaves through BC's real estate market. Property deals collapsed. Banks stopped lending. Homeowners learned about the ruling at a City of Richmond town hall, not from their government, not from their real estate agent, and not from the courts. Many had lived in the affected area for years without knowing the claim existed. Here's Where Things Stand Today That ruling is now under appeal. But far from settling down, the situation has escalated sharply over the past 60 days. New lawsuits have been filed, the government has announced a financial rescue package, lenders are cutting off mortgages, and a class action against the Crown is moving forward. This is the most current picture of what's happening — and what it means if you own or want to buy property in BC. The 6 Biggest Developments Since December 2025 1. BC Officially Files Its Appeal — and Draws a Hard Line On February 5, 2026, BC Attorney General Niki Sharma confirmed the province is formally appealing the Cowichan ruling and seeking a stay to pause implementation while the appeal works through the courts. "We disagree strongly with the decision," Sharma said, adding that the ruling "could have significant unintended consequences for fee simple private property rights in BC." The federal government and City of Richmond are also appealing. The case will go to the BC Court of Appeal — a process expected to take at least one to two years — and will almost certainly land at the Supreme Court of Canada after that. Premier David Eby has been blunt in public: "For our government, private property is non-negotiable. People's homes and businesses are not bargaining chips. Full stop." That's a significant rhetorical shift for a government that spent years advancing reconciliation through legislation. Critics have pointed out the province didn't mount a robust defense of private property rights at trial, making the appeal feel reactive. But politically, the line has been drawn. 2. A New First Nation Has Already Filed a Copycat Claim On January 26, 2026, the Dzawada'enuxw First Nation on BC's central coast filed a new lawsuit directly citing the Cowichan ruling, targeting roughly 650 hectares of fee simple land at Kingcome Inlet, currently owned by forestry company Interfor, the Nature Trust of BC, and the province. The Nation argues the land was taken from them illegally over a century ago by an Indian Agent and his family. Their lawyer was direct: "In the wake of the Cowichan decision, the legal landscape has changed." This is not an isolated case. Legal experts say there are at least half a dozen active Aboriginal title cases in BC alone. A partner at law firm Borden Ladner Gervais told the Globe and Mail: "I've been fielding calls from banks, credit unions, title insurers, mortgage brokers, real estate agents and regulators asking, 'What direction should we be giving on this?' And I think everybody's holding their breath." The Cowichan ruling has effectively created a legal template that other First Nations are now using. 3. Banks Are Refusing to Renew Mortgages on Affected Properties This is the most immediate, ground-level impact: lenders are saying no. Multiple banks, credit unions, and mortgage brokers have stopped issuing new mortgages and refusing renewals on properties within the Cowichan title area. ‍At a Town Hall hosted by Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, one property owner reported that his lender had declined to renew his mortgage outright. Property tax expert Paul Sullivan, who represents more than half the property owners in the claim area, said his clients have been told these properties are "not saleable. There's no value." Real estate deals that were mid-process when the ruling came down were abandoned. A $100 million development project in the area has been shelved. Some owners have filed property tax appeals, arguing their assessed values no longer reflect what the market or any lender is willing to recognize. 4. The Province (of BC) Announced a $150 Million Loan Guarantee Program In a December 13, 2025 interview with CBC, Premier Eby announced the province is working on a plan to offer over $150 million in government-backed loan guarantees to property owners and businesses in the claim area. The breakdown: roughly $100 million would backstop financing for Montrose Properties (the largest single landowner, whose lender denied it $35 million in financing post-ruling), and $54 million for smaller owners. The final figure could grow once additional commercial activity is factored in. Richmond Mayor Brodie called it "a good step forward." The BC Conservatives noted they'd been asking for this for months before being ignored. The loan guarantees don't resolve the legal question, they're a bridge to keep people financially afloat while the appeals process plays out over the next several years. 5. A Class Action Has Been Filed Against the Federal and BC Governments In November 2025, a proposed class action was filed in BC Supreme Court alleging that both levels of government misled property owners for years — assuring the public that land titles were "safe, marketable and free from material qualification" while internally aware of the risks from unresolved Indigenous land claims. The suit claims the governments caused "economic and psychological harm" and collected property taxes based on "inflated or misinformed property values." The relief sought includes damages for loss of property value and mental distress, plus restitution of taxes collected under false pretences. The reach of the claim is significant: it argues the problem isn't just Richmond — it potentially extends to all private property owners in BC whose land may be subject to unresolved Aboriginal title claims. 6. BC and New Brunswick Courts Have Reached Opposite Conclusions A January 2026 legal analysis by Torys LLP identified what may be the most consequential tension in Canadian property law right now: BC and New Brunswick courts ruled opposite ways on the same core question. The BC Supreme Court said Aboriginal title can be declared over privately held land, with negotiations to follow. The New Brunswick Court of Appeal (in the Wolastoqey Nation case, decided December 2025) said no. Aboriginal title declarations should not extend to private property; monetary compensation from the Crown is the right answer instead. Two provincial courts. Two opposite answers. One Supreme Court of Canada showdown almost certainly coming — but not for years. What This Means for Canadian Homeowners The immediate crisis is centred in Richmond, BC. But the legal principles at stake reach every Canadian who owns property on unceded Indigenous land — which, outside of the numbered treaty areas of the Prairies and parts of Ontario, includes most of BC and significant parts of the country. Here's what you need to know right now, in plain terms. If you own property in the Cowichan claim area in Richmond: Your title has not been automatically taken away. The Cowichan Nation has been consistent that they are not trying to displace homeowners. But your property may be unsellable and unmortgageable until the appeal resolves. Apply to the province's loan guarantee program if you need financing, and consult a lawyer before attempting to sell. If you own property anywhere else in BC: The Cowichan ruling has not invalidated your title. But it has established that Aboriginal title can coexist with — and take precedence over — fee simple title on unceded land. The legal uncertainty is real, and it's something your lawyer and lender should be factoring in, especially in areas with active claims. If you're buying property in BC right now: Don't rely on a standard title search alone. Ask your real estate lawyer to specifically check whether the property falls within a known or asserted Aboriginal title claim area. This should now be routine practice for any BC transaction. At Deeded, our lawyers conduct full title reviews as part of every closing — learn what's included here. If you're selling in an affected area: Disclose. If you know your property falls within a claim area, your lawyer needs to know before you list. Non-disclosure of a material fact affecting title is a serious legal issue. If you're a lender or investor: The financial sector is already treating claim-area properties as unbankable. Expect more caution province-wide as the Dzawada'enuxw and other new claims are filed. Title insurance policies vary significantly in how they handle Aboriginal title risk — read the exclusions carefully. If you're anywhere else in Canada: Watch this closely. An Algonquin First Nation has already filed a similar claim in Quebec. The New Brunswick Wolastoqey case is on appeal. Ontario has seen rulings prioritizing treaty rights over fee simple ownership. The Cowichan ruling is a BC case, but the legal principles it set in motion are national. The Bottom Line Canada has been quietly carrying a legal contradiction for decades: governments sold land and issued property titles on territory that Indigenous peoples never formally surrendered. Courts are now saying that out loud. That doesn't mean homeowners are about to lose their houses. The Cowichan Nation, the Haida Nation, and the Wolastoqey Nation in New Brunswick have all been clear they're not trying to displace private residents. The Haida agreement where Aboriginal title was recognized by negotiation rather than litigation, with private property fully protected shows a better path forward exists. But the path from here to there runs through years of appeals, negotiations, and legal uncertainty. For anyone buying, selling, or financing property in BC, that uncertainty is real and needs to be managed — not ignored. ‍BC Land Claims 2026: What's Happening Now and What It Means for Canadian Homeowners | Deeded 6 Sources

This is shocking and should be of major concern to Canadians. Why would our elected MPs refuse to take steps to protect private property rights in the face of the Cowichan ruling in B.C.? This is incomprehensible. Is this country on some kind of self destruct path or what is going on? "Motion voted down: A majority of MPs rejected the Conservative push to prioritize private property rights over Aboriginal title in negotiations. Court ruling backdrop: The motion followed a B.C. Supreme Court decision affirming Cowichan Tribes' title to 300 hectares, sparking debate on property rights. Partisan clash: Liberals, NDP and Bloc opposed the motion, accusing Conservatives of fearmongering; Conservatives say the ruling fuels uncertainty." Majority of MPs vote down Conservative motion calling for private property protection I hope the Conservatives will keep this as a central issue. I believe the MPs and parties who voted against this motion are out of touch with Canadians. Canadians are concerned about what is going on in B.C. under the BC NDP government with their secret meetings and co governance with FNs which are only a few percent of the population. The BC NDP has been handing over large areas of land to FNs in BC. The BC NDP brought in the DRIPA law which really created a serious problem leading to the court ruling giving a huge part of Richmond, BC to the Cowichan band. This is a threat and a warning sign.

This sell out goes back many years to when Pierre Trudeau (senior) signed an agreement with Chairman Mao around 1970. Canadians have been asleep ever since. Pierre was also buddy buddy with Commie Fidel Castro. This is what Canadians vote for.

Considering the history of the CCP involvement in foreign influence it is surprising that the liberals would fall for this. Liberals have a history of sucking up to them. Canadians are so gullible and many believe anything Libs tell them.

Socialist do not respect the right , not men., own private property which is a God-given right in the Bible. Exodus 20:13 says "thou shalt not steal". Some people think if a body of society gives a government the mandate, then government can do whatever it wants. That is a fatal error. The Bible nowhere says that. The Bible assumes certain commands and rights will be respected even by government. Everyone is subject to God, even government. You are free to believe whatever but in the final judgement, we will all be held accountable. That's why God's word, the Bible is the final authority, not what men think.

Socialism failed on other places as well. People demand everything from government. They are walking a dangerous path

It has been attempted in a number of countries such as Russia, the USSR, China and other places. "The total number of people killed by communist regimes is estimated to be between 100 million and 148 million. This estimate includes mass killings during various communist regimes, such as the Soviet Union, China, and others, and encompasses deaths from executions, famine, and other forms of repression.

This is a summary of an article on it. Communism is definitely not the epitome of Christian teaching. Not sure where you got that claim. quote 8. Summary of Scriptural Perspective • The Bible acknowledges private property and instructs against stealing. • God’s people are expected to be generous, caring for the poor out of love and gratitude-never from compulsion by the state. • Early church sharing was voluntary and inspired by the Holy Spirit, not mandated by an external political system. • Believers are called to honor authorities unless such authorities contradict God’s commands. • Genuine love, manifested through charitable giving and work ethic, forms the foundation for communal well-being, rather than enforced redistribution. From this vantage, while Scripture unambiguously encourages believers to be selfless, generous, and mindful of the less fortunate, it does not endorse a government-imposed communistic structure. Instead, it emphasizes responsible stewardship, voluntary charity, respect for legitimate ownership, and heartfelt obedience to God as the path to justice and communal flourishing. unquote What is the Bible's perspective on communism?

I don't know whether the men who wrote the Bible believed the earth was flat or the sun revolved around it. That is not really the subject of the Bible even though many anti-Bible people like to throw that out as some kind of fact. It is not. The Bible is not a science book and doesn't claim to be, although it describes things about God creating the universe. That has always been a stumbling block for many people. They seem to be trying to reconcile the Bible with man-made science, which is a big mistake. The Bible is a supernatural book which men wrote under the inspiration of God. Many humans think somehow that everything that happened must be explained in terms of man-made science, forgetting that God is not a man and owes nothing to man in the way of explaining anything. The Bible requires faith and it is perfectly reasonable to believe that God created the universe out of nothing.

Those men were inspired by God to write what they wrote. That has been the position of Christianity for millennia. The fact of God's existence is evident in the creation as well as what the Bible records. When we consider the creation such as the atomic particles and the laws of physics that control their movement and actions, we that is clearly something that would have required an all powerful, infinitely intelligent Creator to create it. Also consider he most basic cell. It contains a vast amount of data or information that governs how it works and multiplies. That also is another example of our Creator's handwork. The whole universe and all the life forms on earth had to have an intelligent Creator and it simply would not exist. The Bible explains God's purpose in creation and in creating mankind. It gives his plans for mankind. Understanding all this requires some study. For some people it might be a journey to learn about God and what he has revealed in his written revelation, in English, the King James Bible. " Conclusion The Bible originated from a combination of divine inspiration and human authorship, emerging within the historical, cultural, and linguistic context of the ancient Near East. Its texts, written over centuries by prophets, kings, priests, and apostles, were preserved, transmitted, and compiled into the Old and New Testaments. The canonization process, along with translations and manuscript evidence, ensures that the Bible’s message continues to be accessible and authoritative for believers worldwide. The Bible’s origin reflects both God’s initiative to communicate with humanity and the human participation in recording and transmitting His revelation. It is a testament to the enduring power of Scripture, which informs faith, provides guidance, and offers hope. By understanding where the Bible originated, believers can deepen their appreciation for its authority, trustworthiness, and relevance in daily life. Ultimately, the Bible stands as a unique and divinely inspired record of God’s interaction with humanity, bridging history, culture, and spirituality. Its origin underscores God’s desire to make His truth known, guiding believers to wisdom, righteousness, and a closer relationship with Him through the revelation of His Word. unquote For full article: Where Did The Bible Come From?

You are not making any sense at all. You just spout any kind of nonsense that wanders into your head. You're also not addressing the subject, which is, why Socialism is evil. It doesn't take much thinking to know that. Socialism, Communism and Marxism are all related and similar ideologies. They are completely against the Bible as explained in the article I linked to. The big points are Socialism steals from those that have to give to others but it often results in a large, failed bureaucracy that just can't manage itself. Individual citizens lose their freedom as government becomes Big Brother, society morally decays as Canada is now, and the economy collapses. There is nothing in the Bible to support an authoritarian system such as Communism or Socialism. Incidentally you are talking total nonsense in saying Scripture is evil. Scripture came from God and if you don't believe in the God of the Bible, you have a big problem.

That your own perverse thinking. Every Canadian has a right to care in his own country. Nobody would buy your argument.

To really fully understand this one needs to believe in God and the Bible, in English the King James Bible. But there are still many who can understand why Socialism is an evil failure. quote The Evils of Socialism vs the Freedom of Christianity Worse still, socialism is not merely an economic system — it is a rival faith.

So tell me why about 28,000 people died on waiting lists in 2023-2024? It's time to admit the health care system is a disaster. Many people are deceived into thinking it will take care of them. Maybe, if they are fortunate. No such thing as equity and fairness in the system. That is the big deception that the herbies believe.

This article helps explain the problems with out system. Because health care falls primarily under provincial responsibility, it seems it is up to each province to fix their system. The problem with socialized systems like this is the governing party is under tremendous pressure with demands for every kind of thing under the sun. quote Canada's healthcare system is facing a significant crisis characterized by a severe shortage of healthcare professionals, leading to long wait times and limited access to care for millions of Canadians. Overview of the Crisis Canada's healthcare system is currently under immense strain, with emergency rooms closing in rural areas and millions lacking access to family doctors. Approximately 2.5 million Canadians do not have a family physician, and many healthcare facilities are unable to meet the growing demand for services. This crisis is exacerbated by a shortage of healthcare professionals, including nearly 23,000 family doctors and 28,000 registered nurses needed to adequately serve the population forcitizenship.ca+1. Causes of the Shortage Several factors contribute to the growing gap between healthcare needs and supply: Aging Population: Canada’s population is aging, leading to increased demand for healthcare services while the workforce struggles to keep pace with this demand www.cihi.ca. Burnout and Workforce Exits: Many healthcare workers are experiencing burnout due to overwhelming workloads and long hours, resulting in a significant number leaving the profession. In 2023, 40% of nurses reported plans to leave their jobs or the field entirely forcitizenship.ca. Fragmented Licensing Systems: Internationally educated healthcare professionals (IEHPs) face barriers in obtaining licenses to practice in Canada, leaving many qualified individuals unable to contribute to the workforce forcitizenship.ca. Inadequate Training Capacity: Medical schools and training programs have not expanded sufficiently to meet the growing demand for healthcare professionals, leading to a bottleneck in new entrants to the workforce rednwhite.ca. Impact on Patients The shortage of healthcare workers has dire consequences for patient care. Canadians are facing longer wait times for appointments and treatments, with some patients waiting an average of 131 days to see a specialist. This delay can lead to worsening health conditions and increased hospitalizations amhg.ca. The crisis also results in overcrowded emergency rooms and a reliance on temporary staffing solutions, which can compromise the quality of care cdhowe.org. Potential Solutions Addressing the healthcare crisis in Canada requires a multifaceted approach, including: Increasing Training Opportunities: Expanding medical and nursing school capacities to produce more graduates who can enter the workforce rednwhite.ca. Streamlining Licensing for IEHPs: Reforming the licensing process for internationally educated healthcare professionals to allow them to practice more quickly forcitizenship.ca. Improving Working Conditions: Implementing measures to reduce burnout among existing staff, such as better support systems and manageable workloads www.cihi.ca. Investing in Technology: Utilizing digital tools and AI to improve efficiency and patient data management, which can help alleviate some of the burdens on healthcare workers amhg.ca.

We have more people going to food banks now than ever and some of them are running out or have run out of food. After years and years of putting up roadblocks to resource development in Canada, the Liberals chose a leader with charisma and media appeal. However, he doesn't seem to have the ability to get Canada's economy going. Still no pipeline started to the west coast and no hint of hope for a pipeline to the east coast. But he is an expert at flying around the world to attend meetings every week, much like Trudeau. He has the PR part figured out. Today he is meeting the astronauts and appearing with them on the media. He knows how to sell himself to the public if nothing else.
