B.C. homeowners warned their land may not be theirs

In Richmond, B.C., homeowners were stunned after a B.C. Supreme Court ruling granted Aboriginal title to the Cowichan Nation over parts of southeast Richmond. A letter from Mayor Malcolm Brodie has warned residents the decision “may compromise the status and validity” of their property ownership.

Marc Patrone speaks with Edmonton Journal columnist Lorne Gunter about the fallout and what it means for property rights across Canada. Gunter argues that decades of activist court rulings and political appeasement have undermined confidence in property rights.

Marc and Lorne also touch on Premier David Eby’s defence of B.C.’s tanker ban, which he says maintains “social licence” with coastal First Nations, and Premier Danielle Smith’s call to lift it as part of Alberta’s push for new pipeline access to tidewater. Gunter calls Eby’s stance “a charade,” noting that tankers from Alaska already pass the same coastline daily.

They also discuss Ottawa’s spending spree, with Pierre Poilievre calling for deep spending cuts and a $42-billion deficit cap. Gunter warns that Carney may rely on accounting maneuvers to hide the true cost of federal expansion.
