Nobody owns land. It was here before man and it will be here after man - sorta like fleas claiming ownership of the dog

There is no private property in Canada.
Unfortunately, that argument doesn't hold up when you're fishing off the Government dock in a navigable waterway and the KOA security guy calls in police re: trespassing. Even right-of-way doesn't phase them
Who did the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh displace way back in the day?
If you're going to point to 'oral tradition' as the means of assessing 'ownership', I'm sure that between Petros and I, we can also claim some form of ownership as per my (or his) present day oral traditions
That work for you?
If there were others displaced by Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh, then they should come forward.
Ha! Eat that Captain and Petros. You are arguing against your own laws. I would only be satisfied if the ruling stated that Canadian law didn't apply to unceded land but this is the next best thing. 8 - 0 riling by the Supreme Court of Canada is pretty binding I think.I can see harpo and his thugs trying to rewrite the laws now.
Changes nothing Cliffy.... The Feds can still play the 'National Interest' card on this project.
