Just wait until everybody understands the consequences of transferring the oversight control of the ALC to a council of First Nations, with the full power to tax farms and have full authority to control activity on ALR land province wide.

I wonder if these brainiacs in the BC Provincial Government realize that the public is beginning to ask the question:

If the Provincial Government gives away all of it’s powers and authorities to unelected councils of First Nations that will, seemingly, make all of the important decisions for BC residents, why does the Provincial Government even need to exist?

I ask that question of provincial AND federal governments. When they fail to adequately represent enough peoples' interests and in fact actively militate against those interests, they will lose consent of the governed. ("Government" is the legislative, judicial, and what passes for an executive.)

If "they" cannot unfuck this situation quickly and recognize that "reconciliation" is bi-directional and that aboriginal local governments will have to "reconcile" themselves to federal and provincial governments having complete and ultimate authority over lands and resources (the latter having all authority over local governments in the bounds of its province) and to having exactly one class of citizenship and to having no governments from which anyone can be exempted from voting or running for office, I expect the country to start unravelling.
