If you are trying to figure out the Cowichan Lands court ruling and what it means for private property, this article by the CBC's always-excellent court-reporter Jason Proctor, is, again, excellent.

This tidbit was particularly illuminating and should raise questions as to why we are in this state of 'panic' now:

"Back in 2017, Canada's Attorney General sought an order requiring the Quw'utsun to notify third-party homeowners, but the judge overseeing proceedings at the time rejected the application after the Quw'utsun said they weren't seeking title or possession of any private lands.

"However," Justice Jennifer Power wrote, "my decision does not prevent any of the defendants from providing informal notice to private landowners if they wish to do so.””

ie. Richmond, the Province, and others should have told the landowners not only that this court process was happening, but most importantly that *their property titles* were not being threatened!

Eby: “I’ll point out what is obvious to me and has yet to fully sink in for some individuals is that there is no pipeline project across the north, there is no route, there is no proponent, there is no financing,”

A Danielle Smith hack: “The decision to build this pipeline lies solely with Prime Minister Mark Carney and the federal government, and we expect him to act decisively and in support of this project,"

“I want the viewer to have an experience. I want them to extrapolate something from it. I want them to learn from it. The best way to do that is by captivating somebody and entertaining somebody at the same time.”

You guys really conflate unmarked graves and mass graves. They didn't gas these kids they just died one by one and were buried separately. No, there are no mass graves.

Yes there are unmarked graves some that number in the dozens at the same site.

Man, Canadians can be fucked up with how they hand-wave away anti-FN bigotry.

They're not "mass graves" because dozens of children died at school one by one instead of being lined up all at once.

Awful.

“Favorable Lake is a constant reminder of what happens when governments and companies walk away from their responsibilities. #Ontario has still not cleaned up that mine. If they couldn’t manage old contamination, how can we trust them to manage new development under a weaker process?”
