Well you know, you don't need to wait for the government to enforce reparations or land transfers. if your convictions are that strong, you can offer up your own property to First Nations. Is a formal title claim the only difference between right and wrong to you?

It only took 12 years after the Nisga'a treaty for them to start privatizing and selling the land off. I imagine any land claims in Vancouver would be settled with money trumping heritage every time.
