Well I’ve red that ruling at least a dozen times. It absolutely voids and erases the land title system- the very foundation of private property - anyplace in BC where there is a land claim found to subsist.The Cowichan leadership know this and are working hard to clarify a few things - they agree that the Judge screwed up too ...
Cowichan Tribes issues statement to clear up ‘misinformation’ surrounding its Aboriginal title case
Cowichan Tribes leadership is firing back at Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, Premier David Eby, and other politicians who have recently made public statements about the Cowichan Nation’s Aboriginal title case.
They call the statements about the effect of the B.C. Supreme Court’s judgement on individual private property owners misleading and “deliberately inflammatory.”
“To be clear,” the statement says, “the Cowichan Nation’s court case regarding their settlement lands at Tl’uqtinus in Richmond has not and does not challenge the effectiveness or validity of any title held by individual private landowners. The ruling does not erase private property.”

Aboriginal Title Supersedes Fee Simple: Landmark Ruling in Cowichan Tribes v Canada Creates Significant Uncertainty for Private Landowners in BC
Introduction On August 7, 2025, the British Columbia Supreme Court (BCSC) released its much-anticipated decision in Cowichan Tribes v Canada (Attorney

FN in BC and their lawyers are desperate to have the general population think this ruling is just great and that they have no ill or serious delays intentions.
In fact the opposite is true. Lawyers and senior FN officials are already on record as stating that they intend to take title and will have an interest (financial interest) in all land transactions with full veto rights. They will not back off of that position. David Eby has guaranteed them that they do not have to back off.
So it’s a mystery just how he intends to reconcile this issue.
I want to be very clear to everybody about something here: no individual private citizen in this country owes any duty of reconciliation to First Nations to the extent it limits your expectations and aspirations of living your life to the fullest potential in a home that you own and on property that you own in a fee simple system. Anybody who tells you that you do owe any such duty is full on bonkers.
However, recognizing and taking advantage of the fact that the Canadian Constitution and the Charter protect no private property rights and only protect Aboriginal land rights, the Eby government has pushed forward with a weird formula of Indigenous Marxism, complete with re-education, social programming, financial disincentives, fines, penalties, ostracization, ABC ideological capture, and legislative measures to dismantle colonialism ( what Stephen Harper has described as aggravated nihilism) with respect to Indigenous rights and reconciliation and is shoving that onto a very unwilling population. He’s done this by way of limiting Crown representation to disfavour public interest in land titles, and to not oppose First Nations territorial assertions. He then put in place a process of secret negotiations and secret agreements to transfer ownership of large chunks of Crown Land and private property to FN with undefined and undisclosed remedies to compensate private property owners. Some of this has striking parallels to the land reforms and citizen duties under taken by Pham Van Dong, which are in turn the partial inspiration of UNDRIP.
It’s an ugly situation.
