@BobDEithKC Their comments were not that definitive. And even if that was what they said, and it wasn’t, they are not judges, so their opinions hold no more weight than any other BC citizen.

Two former Attorneys General say that the Cowichan case will not result in the loss of private property. Maybe it’s time for the BC Conservatives and One BC to stop fear mongering? open.substack.com/pub/geoffmeggs…

The concern with Cowichan was never that someone would show up and take your house. The concern is what happens for example when you try to refinance your mortgage. Justice Young’s decision declared Aboriginal title over roughly 800 acres in Richmond (not the remote northeast...Richmond), covering over 100 privately held properties. The court declared Crown and city-held titles on the land “defective and invalid.” It found that the granting of private titles “unjustifiably infringed” on Aboriginal title. And it said the coexistence of Aboriginal title and private property would need to be negotiated and reconciled going forward with private interests remaining valid only “until such a time as a court may determine otherwise.” Your title wasn’t struck down. But it’s been put on notice. And that’s all a bank needs to hear. Your mortgage is backed by your fee simple title. When a court says Aboriginal title coexists on the same land, and that your title’s grant was an unjustifiable infringement, and that its future needs to be negotiated, the bank looks at its collateral and asks what it’s actually worth. Banks don’t do uncertainty. They price it or they walk away. And they are walking away. A Richmond homeowner who had owned his home since 1975 went public saying his bank refused to renew his mortgage after the ruling. Over 650 people showed up to a Richmond townhall, furious. Montrose Properties (the largest private landowner in the claim area, with Coca-Cola, Wayfair, and Canadian Tire warehouses on the land) stated in legal filings it was denied $35 million in financing because of the ruling, and that discussions about a separate project had ceased. Appraisers are warning property values in the area could drop 30 to 40 percent. It appears that not a single property in the claim area has sold in 2026. Appraisers have started adding disclaimers to their reports: “We assume the subject property is not subject to a land claim and they are valued as if unencumbered.” Plant drew a line between a house in a city and a mining project in the northeast. The court erased that line. And if the ruling really poses no threat to private property, why did David Eby offer $150 million in loan guarantees to backstop mortgages that banks won’t write? Why did his government go door to door asking homeowners if they’d been unable to refinance? Why did his own AG say the ruling “could have significant unintended consequences for fee simple private property rights in BC”? Governments don’t backstop mortgages against threats that don’t exist.

Who would you believe when it comes to First Nations issues in British Columbia? Geoff Plant or Pierre Poilievre/Caroline Elliott? Here are some quotes: “No, I don’t think people should be worried,” said Plant, attorney general under Premier Gordon Campbell. “If you, like me, live in a house in a neighbourhood in a city, some nice tree growing in front of it, you’re not at risk. If you’re planning a $25 billion mining project in northeastern British Columbia, then you better sit and do some work about who the Indigenous people are in that territory and find out how you can engage with them. “There is nothing in Cowichan that is intended to unsettle what I’ll call ordinary private property ownership in British Columbia.”

Steve Ballmer reveals the interview test Microsoft used to separate problem-solvers from gamblers: "I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100. First guess, I give you $5. Then $4, $3, $2, $1. After that, you pay me." "There are far more numbers on which you lose than win."

@jbj59 @jht4x4 Notwithstanding their legal expertise, neither are judges, Plant said he didn't "think" people should be worried, and Petter said he didn't "think" private property was at risk. While both may be proven correct in their opinions down the road, clarity is likely years away.

@MarcNixon24 @SkiBoatBoy We could do that in Canada. All we need is an absolute monarchy, a totally flat sand environment, oil that's only 380 kilometres from the port, and a pipeline that's already underway. Just like UAE.

Statement from Premier David Eby on the MOU between Alberta and Ottawa. “As a country, it's time to stop rewarding bad behaviour. It cannot be the case that the projects that get prioritized in Canada are those where a Premier threatens to leave the country.” #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Cathie Wood might be the most expensive lesson retail investors have ever paid for. Her flagship ARK Innovation ETF is down 23% in the last 5 years. The S&P 500 is up 77% over the same period. She has underperformed the index by 100 percentage points. And she has done it while collecting BILLIONS in management fees. A quick reminder of the highlight reel: – She predicted Tesla would hit $3,000 per share by 2025. It is currently $432. – She predicted Tesla revenue would hit $234 to $367 billion in 2025. The actual number came in under $100 billion. – She made Teladoc her single largest position around $80 per share. It trades at $7 today. – She loaded up on Zoom near $300. It trades at $110. – She dumped almost her entire Nvidia position in January 2023 around $20 per share. Nvidia is now at $220, which means she sold the single greatest stock of this generation right before it 10x’d. Morningstar officially labeled the ARK family of funds a “value destroyer,” noting that her funds lost roughly $14 billion in shareholder value from 2014 to 2024. But here’s the part nobody talks about: ARK Investment Management has been one of the most profitable asset managers of the last decade. Wood has personally made tens of millions in fees while her investors have collectively lost real money. This is the part of Wall Street most retail investors do not understand. You’re not paying for performance, you’re paying for marketing. The people who win are the ones running the fund, not the ones holding it. This Friday, May 15, every fund managing over $100 million is legally required to disclose their Q1 2026 trades to the SEC. We will be breaking down EVERY major filing right here the moment they drop. Follow us with notifications before it’s too late. If you don’t follow us, you might regret it.

If a Canadian citizen nearly stabs someone to death, they can and should face the full force of the law. But if a non-citizen commits the same heinous crime, they can end up with a lighter sentence just to avoid deportation. Conservatives moved to close the loophole. Liberals voted no.

NEW: 11 teachers in Canada of "North African" descent who were teaching "Islamist religious concepts" to elementary school children have been fired. The teachers allegedly made the students pray in class, and physically & psychologically abused them. "I find it appalling what was done to young girls. I find it appalling that we didn’t provide all the necessary services to students who were vulnerable.... Their (licenses) were permanently revoked? Perfect," said Michelle Setlakwe, member of the National Assembly of Quebec. According to an investigation, the "North African" teachers were influenced by a local mosque. They subjected the kids to "physical and psychological abuse." They allegedly forced the children to pray in class and refused to teach s*x education. What a total mess Canada is.
