Its true! Similar deals were ratified by the Supreme Court, as an example the Haida Gwaii apparently.

I guess this is goodbye Canada for Mëds? Australia seems nice - I've never been, but ask UDL - I think he lived there for a while?

Here is the agreement, not so secret now: Below the article

The article I read stated there was language that could be interpreted to give private land ownership rights to FN.

Did that article rhyme? Did someone in it not like green eggs and ham? Was his name Sam?

No actually. It was from National Post. But thanks for your link, another perspective always good with the news.

I’m inclined to believe the other tho, just based on the government’s (Lib/NDP/Con) history of saying “Nothing to see here” when something has potential to backfire and piss off a lot of voters.

That link I provided has the actual legal agreement, or you can also look it up directly.

Get it from the horse's mouth as they say. Not just a reporter/writer/media slant.

Just not Sam's mouth.

I do not like the Musqueum Band.

They take my land.

I'll take a stand.

There is a hard to read embedded version in the article. The actual link goes to a dead web page.

From reading the agreement, and other rabbit holes, we seem to have language creep going on. "Aboriginal Rights" has been replaced by "Rights and Title". And everywhere, it is said to be the same thing. It obviously isn't.

The first nations rights have gone way too far. How can a band of FN people who number 1500, have the rights to a large chuck of Vancouver? It makes no sense. Anyway, as I mentioned before, Alberta has all of their FNs treaties signed and settled, so that won't happen here. Too bad BC didn't do the same when they had a chance way back when.

You mean lame duck corrupt BC politicians right.

I’m gonna say this about all the cultural jerseys…..

I think they are all ridiculous with the exception of the Indigenous designs. First Nations should have a recognized founding part in this country’s history…..it should stand side by side with English/British and White Flag Raising/Francophone. If I’m not mistaken that was the intent of the 3-pointed, 3-leaf maple leaf on our flag…..none of them labeled as one specifically, and each one comprising an element of the others. Canadian. Frankly the rest are immigrants who came here wanting what we had to offer, no need to force those cultures through the door.

I would not be opposed to dumping the stinky whale and going back to the black/gold/red/white as the main home/away and an “alternate” one that represents BC indigenous bands that gets worn for 50% or our home games, or even a home/away version of it that gets 50% deployment.

Yeah, it's all a bit much. Even more so in the minor leagues.

Marketing and jersey sales, nothing else.

But I do like your idea.
