Do you really think any non-natives will be able to go to these places for free or hunt and fish there? I strongly doubt it. I don't think it is right to give legal ownership of crown land and provincial parks to a FN band. Crown land and the parks belong to all Canadians, not a tiny percentage of the population who happened to have ancestors that lived in the area and hunted and fished there. They can still live there and hunt and fish without being given ownership and title to all the land. It is bizarre. I heard this morning from someone who said in some remote areas along an inlet on Vancouver Island, if you step ashore on the beach, some native will come along and ask you to pay a fee for going there. It could also happen on Nootka Island now. They will likely be extorting money from anyone to comes into these areas.

What you're saying must be some kind of joke. The whole of B.C. and maybe Canada is claimed by various FNs. If you think all the land of B.C. belongs to FN because B.C. did not negotiate it, you better go back to where your ancestors came from. You and most of the 40 million people in Canada must be living here illegally according to you.

Courts are going far beyond what they are supposed to do. An appeal court in B.C. just gave FNs ownership of Nootka Island off the west coast of Vancouver Island, a huge area of crown land and a provincial park. Now non-natives may possibly be denied access or use. This is how far courts have gone. Not merely a simple interpretation of laws in certain cases, but vast over reach.

An appeal court just gave FNs ownership of a huge island called Nootka Island on the west coast of Vancouver Island depriving the citizens of Canada this large area of crown land and a provincial park.

What law?

Courts are supposed to only interpret laws, not create new major practices that really are the domain of elected representatives. That is really simple logic.

You're not making any sense and don't understand how government works. If government could not pass laws because of somebody taking something to court, you would have no government. It would cease to function. Anybody can take something to court anytime. That doesn't stop government from governing. Of course government can continue to pass laws when court cases are going on. This is really elementary stuff.

Government certainly can and does. You don't understand how the government works. They can't comment on a particular court case, but government can continue to function and pass laws. That is really stupid not to know that.

Hard for you to accept the truth that a handful of people on the Supreme Court make major decisions that change the laws in Canada. Are they some kind of gods or what gives them the power to act as a dictatorship. That is clearly not democracy and they seem to have more power than our elected Parliament. Who the heck are they to decree that people have the right to die by assisted suicide?

A court case cannot stop government from governing and creating new laws and taking action to change the Constitution. They might not talk about that specific case, but they can certainly change the laws and Constitution on the ownership of private property.

I have not heard a peep out of the Liberal federal government since the Cowichan decision giving ownership of a large area of the city of Richmond to the Cowichan band on Vancouver Island. Private property ownership is a basic human right. When are the Liberals going to take action to protect it? It should have been enshrined in the Charter of Rights in 1982 but wasn't. It is time to bring in laws and change the Constitution to protect the right to own private property in Canada without it being threatened by FN land claims. Only one person can own private property, not two entities such as a FN band as well as a the citizens who paid for it and live on it. Poilievre says Ottawa must protect private property in wake of Cowichan Tribes ruling

Canada is drifting away from being a democracy. What we have is a handful of liberal-appointed judges creating entirely new interpretations of the Charter of Rights and Constitution and imposing it on the government to force it to comply, such as medical assistance in dying without any mandate from the people. They are unelected and only a small group of people deciding the future of many Canadians, based on their own ideology.

It is obvious you don't understand the basic issues around this subject. You take the very simple view that most Canadians take, claiming it is their right to end their lives. The fact is MAID or as some call it assisted suicide was passed into law by people who had no idea what they were doing. They obviously did not understand that man is incapable of controlling such a practice. It created a slippery slope and is now becoming more widespread. Many people have taken it that don't even fit the requirements that were stipulated in the first place under the law. That is a proven fact and the authorities have released the statistics to prove it. That is why God's law in his written word, the Bible, is absolutely opposed to killing. It is part of the ten commandments. God opposes killing, in this case MAID, for good reason. It is now becoming clear why. God considers human life sacred and all human life belongs to God. Only God decides when it should end, not man. The simple fact is man is not God and is fallible. Now we see one major reason why God is against it. Man is playing God, but man does not have the ability to be a judge on who should live and who should die as in MAID. It is falling down a slippery slope out of control. Perhaps this is God's judgment for man's rebellion against God. So when you say it is your choice, be very concerned that rejecting what God says could cost you your life unnecessarily. You might think you are doing the right thing, but maybe you are not. You are not God and you have a weak, fallible, mind that is prone to deception and error. The Problems With Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying Policy

You don't understand how the SCC worked on this issue. There was no law on MAID. It was the SCC that ruled that people have a right to assisted suicide (MAID) and the Liberal government bowed to the SCC and created the law.

I thought my comment was focused on your leader's talk about destroying a civilization. Now you are diverting to eliminating a regime.

Back in 2015, the Supreme Court apparently ruled in favour of assisted dying with the argument that the right to die is similar to the right to life. The argument put forward by assisted suicide advocates and apparently bought by the SCC is that if a person is not given the right to assisted dying (assisted suicide) that they might take their own lives. The SCC somehow reasoned that denying a person medical assistance in dying was a denial of their charter right to life. You can see how perverted this thinking is. A right to life suddenly came to include a right to assisted suicide. A small number of people or judges on a court suddenly in a moment of time in 2015 decided to change the course of history in Canada which has led to possibly 17,500 to 18,000 deaths by MAID in 2025. Now this so-called right is in the works to be extended in March 2027 to include the mentally ill. Anyone, even though not mentally fit to make any such decision, may decide to take MAID under the bizarre belief that this is health care. First reading: Canada told mentally ill must be euthanized lest they kill themselves

So you think your country should lower itself to the same level of thinking and behavior as a terrorist regime.

This isn't by accident...it is by choice, so not concerned. You're not concerned a guy in charge says a whole civilization is going to die tonight?

That would be a disaster. Nobody is going to sing God save the Governor General. Most people prefer the real King or Queen and not some DEI style GG appointed by people like Trudeau or Carney.

A guy with serious mental problems is in charge and has control of the most powerful military and nuclear weapons. You better be concerned.

Have you lost your mind. What he has been saying is insane. Governor of Illinois is calling for 54th amendment and removal from office.

Trump says 'a whole civilization will die tonight' as Iran deadline looms

Trump has repeatedly talked about Canada becoming the 51st state. One thing that appears to keep him from annexing Canada is his respect for King Charles III. Trump's respect for King Charles possibly quashed desire to annex Canada, says royal commentator

The first part about hiring help or live-in care sounds like a possible plan if it can be done. The last part about MAID is nonsensical. Suicide is not a solution.

I'e got news for those that think the NDP health care system is so great. Wait until you need to get into a care home. If you want a public or gov't subsidized care home in BC, you may be required to pay 80% of your pensions. The only alternative is a private care home which can cost $8000 per month. Hopefully there are some less expensive, but it could still be thousands per month.
