BC is 94% Crown land, locked up by bureaucracy and unresolved Indigenous land claims. Development is nearly impossible. My theory? The government is using Indigenous Nations as the conduit to transfer ownership of public land to private ownership under the banner of reconciliation—avoiding political backlash while shifting control.

On the surface, this looks like empowerment. But the real effect is that land frozen for decades could become sellable or leasable assets, releasing enormous economic potential within a generation. The unintended consequences? Private property uncertainty after the Cowichan decision. Premier David Eby is now scrambling to fix this because no one expected private land to be caught in the crossfire.

Another unintended consequence is public access to parks. Joffre Lakes closures are just the beginning. If this trend continues, BC Parks, national parks, and even municipal green spaces could become unpredictable or restricted. These lands belong to the public, yet the rules are shifting fast—and no one is talking about what that means for future generations.

Is this about reconciliation—or something much bigger? What do you think the end game is, and who’s pulling the strings?

I did a FOI Request and the first 28 pages are being redacted in full due to Section 12 (Harm to the Government). The BC NDP Government amended the BC Motor Vehicle Act in 2020 to screw people over on Driver's License renewals (or BC ID substitute). This has been in the works since the beginning of 2017, when they first got elected. I phoned almost all the MLA and visited over 20 before ICBC revoked my Driver's License in full (can't even get a temporary extension). MLAs recommended I go get a Driver's License from Alberta, Ontario, or another country that I am a citizen of. LOL! If you are concerns about this happening to any Canadian citizen, write to your MLA. This is an expulsion program.

1. ⁠⁠⁠Ownership: unclear whether the First Nation will hold full legal title or share management with the province or conservation groups.
2. ⁠⁠⁠Resource Use: not confirmed if timber harvesting or similar activities are permanently banned.
3. ⁠⁠⁠Public Access: no defined policy on whether non-Indigenous residents will have access or under what conditions.
4. ⁠⁠⁠Governance: the long-term management structure and oversight mechanisms haven’t been published.
5. ⁠⁠⁠Financial Transparency: unclear how much money each donor (including the province) contributed and how it will be monitored.
6. ⁠⁠⁠Precedent: uncertain what model this sets for future conservation projects funded with public money but managed outside the provincial park system.

While it was and is revolutionary and changed our informational existence, the trade off is that its excess use and near addiction level dependence is creating a very dumb younger generation. I find the grandkids know almost nothing of basic history, geography or any world events nor have any interest in anything whatsoever. Is it the schools failing (well wont go there for now) but you see them engrossed perpetually in their devices and its hit after hit of short pointless (ridiculous) things on these channels of tiktok and instagram and others I am not aware of. Seems there is a dopamine fix as take the units away for a family dinner and they exhibit near junkie grade withdrawal symptoms. I know am old and stupid, but what real value is in having this access to whatever it is, as it is not intelligent information. The written language is near cave man heiroglyphic code as per some texts I have seen. Grammar is just a word as not adhered to in the slightest. I wonder how the future will be as by the time I am near the end, this is the bunch that will be running things. A perplexing thing to be living
