Apparently, the courts in BC feel "stolen land" should be returned to the original inhabitants. A sad day for Canada.
British Columbia (B.C.), a province on the west coast of Canada, has been involved in a lawsuit with four First Nation Aboriginal groups. The B.C. Supreme Court has delivered a precedent-setting ruling on a land claim brought forward by four First Nations after a multi-year court battle. The piece of land in question is an 1,800 acre parcel in Richmond BC which includes city and port lands, farms, golf courses, private homes and commercial properties. It appears that 800 acres will be affected. In the 513-day trial, the City of Richmond said its dike and infrastructure on the land in question are important for the city’s 230,000 residents, putting $100 billion in infrastructure at risk.
Experts say that the ruling could apply to private property across B.C. and that the Aboriginals can go back to court and seek remedies like an ordinary landowner to have the newer private landowners removed from the land. The decision is throwing private property rights into turmoil.
