The mayor of a picturesque city has warned homeowners they could soon lose their properties after a Canadian court ruled the land belongs to a native tribe.
The British Columbia Supreme Court awarded the Cowichan Tribes an Aboriginal title over roughly 800 acres of land in the city of Richmond, a suburb of Vancouver.
The tribe was also given an Aboriginal right to fish for food, according to the court's August 2025 ruling which was reviewed by the Daily Mail.
The ruling further declared that private ownership by the federal government and city of Richmond would be 'defective and invalid.'
The declaration was suspended for 18 months so that the tribe, federal government and city would have the 'opportunity to make the necessary arrangements.'
But Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie has now penned a letter warning residents that the ruling 'could negatively affect title' of their homes and 'compromise the status and validity of your ownership.'
He urged residents to attend an upcoming information session being held by the city where they can learn more about this 'important situation,' according to the letter obtained by the Daily Mail.
The Cowichan Tribe has also filed an appeal claiming ownership of further land in the region, Brodie's letter revealed.
Canada, it's like Cuba, but much colder.
No Bill of Rights is a bad way to live, especially when left-leaners seize power.
