So they are going to be charged, that means that they may lose or.....they may win, a win or loss will likely result in an appeal by either side and it could be before the courts for a long time, possibly 10 years.

It could be something contrived by 1st nations and government, as both sides know this is how laws are made in Canada regarding indigenous peoples, this allows the courts to make the decision, leaving government squeeky clean.
If it is over in short order it was contrived by the 2 parties mentioned, if the provincial government does not appeal a loss, it was contrived.

I wouldn't be surprised if it results in a victory for 1st nations, regardless of common sense. Just like the rulings on pit-lamping for example......

They are being charged.

With what?

Could be a new round of public outrage when this information is released.

If they go to court and win and First Nations are then legally allowed to hunt on others Private Land, It is no longer considered private land.....If the government wants to ease the battle, they better not let these poachers go free.

I think IIRC there were/are court rulings pertaining to hunting on private land out in the prairie provinces, much of the land is private until you get to the provincial forest area of northern saskatchewan,,,, when 99.99% of the land in BC is crown land I fail to see the need to hunt private land without permission. Theres going to be trouble, the result of throwing common sense out the window, public safety is no longer a concern it would seem.
