NStQ First Nations, B.C., Canada advance to final treaty negotiations

I think the only difference for you will be who you pay your taxes to. It wont be to the regional district it will be to the band. And they will set the tax rates!

This:

If the provincial government tries to “give” privately held lands away as part of a settlement, they will have so many lawsuits filed against them that it will bankrupt the province. If they remove all public services and assign tax collection duties to the FN, there will also be hell to pay...

It's called Class Action Lawsuit.
And BOTH governments involved are very very vulnerable under what is being proposed here.

First of all, I believe that all people living under Canada's social, financial, and military umbrella should
have to abide by the same laws and rules. I don't believe in a country within a country. I also believe
that the Indigenous, especially in BC, got treated as not equal in status, similar to the Chinese immigrant
workers and the Japanese that were forced from their homes and businesses without proper, if any compensation.
I have many BC history books that fortify the Indigenous claim they were pushed aside and off their traditional
living areas (notice I didn't say territories as the Indigenous have claimed far more than is factual) and given
small parcels of land (Reserves) as the flood of immigrants from around the world simply took what land they
wished with the encouragement of the new Canadian governments. The Canadian governments have given huge
amounts of money (I've heard as high as 3 trillion) in an effort to appease or quiet the Indigenous resentment and
claims of being robbed. It hasn't worked. Considering the world court's position on total reconciliation with all
Indigenous peoples that were pushed aside during colonization, the longer it goes on, the more the negotiations and
eventual signing of treaties will favour the Indigenous. Hindsight is always 20-20, but had the Canadian governments
properly included the Indigenous when they were federated, none of this would have been such an issue today.

Seems to me the logical result of all this is a bankrupt provincial govt

Maybe the way out of this mess is to declare war, claim a win and that all Unceded lands are now ceded.Enough is Enough. They will never stop until politicians have the cajones to deal with this!

More agreements in the works.................This one looks a lot less hopeful, its in earlier stages but no mention of continued public hunting in the area from what I see so far.
Agreements made with guides and trappers to continue hunting the areas though!
