On the surface, getting ahead of things and actually creating legal agreements and defining title rights is exactly what I'd hope for to avoid another court decision oopsie moment.
Though a lot is still to figure out, I'm not sure the federal agreement is the self-infliction you think it is.
I'm not sure what Stave and co would suggest.
Just ignore other first nation groups until another court decision comes up? Or ignore them until they go away? Forget they have any rights altogether?
The alarmist nature of there positions and posting is also comically hypocritical.
Complaining this is adding more uncertainty to the industry, while making posts saying
"Your home's title is about to be gone!! And Main Stream Media won't talk about it!!"
That will sure help the real estate market and reduce uncertainty.  |
Yeah, grifters and people with political axes to grind will make hay with this kind of stuff, but the reality is much less dramatic.
And as the lawyer in that video says, the federal government is still the overarching authority over all land in Canada and their right is ultimately supreme. So essentially this is a problem that will solve itself if things get too far out of whack. If people begin to regularly be deprived of their fee simple titles due to court decisions (which is exceedingly unlikely), then you would see the federal government start to flex its authority because there would be the political will to do so.
And First Nations know that, which is why they're generally approaching it from a stance of reconciliation and cooperation, where they're asking for compensation and bits of crown land, rather than seeking to invalidate privately owned land titles.
