| White Guilt, Made Up Native “History”, Out-of-Control Courts: Could this be the end of private land ownership in Canada? |
All eyes are on Richmond, B.C., a Vancouver suburb now at the centre of a growing storm over private land rights in Canada. A recent Supreme Court ruling granted Aboriginal title to the Cowichan Tribes on privately owned land. Days later, homeowners opened their mail to discover something shocking — they might not fully own their homes after all! Amid a nationwide push for “reconciliation,” many Canadians are now asking the same question: Are our homes truly safe? This decision has reignited the debate over land acknowledgements —the scripted rituals repeated in schools, workplaces, and government meetings. If these acknowledgements declare that Canada sits on “stolen land,” are they quietly laying the groundwork for more claims like the one in Richmond? That’s why OneBC Leader Dallas Brodie introduced the Land Acknowledgement Prohibition Act last week. It’s a bill she calls a stand against “the anthem of a suicidal nation.” I sat down with Brodie and her Chief of Staff Tim Theilmann, a former Aboriginal law attorney, to talk about why this bill mattered. I also spoke with B.C. Conservative MLA David Williams to discuss why most of his party joined the NDP in killing this bill. Click here to watch my report. Land acknowledgements have gone from symbolic to absurd ritualistic mantras that humiliate ordinary Canadians and deny our country’s sovereignty. Unfortunately, Brodie’s bill never got a fair hearing, thanks to the NDP, and shockingly, most of the B.C. Conservatives. (If the so-called Conservatives won’t defend land rights, what exactly are they conserving?) This situation is directly connected to B.C.’s adoption of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) — now law in the province. Brodie’s bill was an opportunity to push back against compelled speech and to stand up for B.C.’s sovereignty. Instead, the political class chose cowardice and wouldn’t even allow the bill to pass first reading.

B.C.’s UN-inspired Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act creates a two-tiered society where an elite group’s influence and legal authority take precedence over the interests of the vast majority of Canadians. That’s not reconciliation. It’s discrimination. Help us stop it by visiting StopUNDRIP.com and sending a one-click email to B.C. Premier David Eby demanding this dangerous law be repealed. |
