Here We Go Again

A friend of mine works for the Province in the Cariboo region and their office deals with every permit request to do with crown land in the area. You guys are screwed and if you only knew half of what is going to be given away there would be an uprising. It will be death of a thousand cuts. Enjoy things while you can because a lot of your freedom to move around out in the field is going to be greatly curtailed in the near future..

This is what I'm worried about and that's why I argued about the land claim deals.
The Royal Proclamation should be made null and decide on these claims on the basis of current circumstances, protecting the rights of non native people.
As of now natives get everything they ask for, with absolutely no regards to the rest of the population.

I have spent decades in this area running trail cams and enjoying general outdoor activities yr round.
Of the hundreds and hundreds of trips over the years I have never see any First Nations presence.
Now all of sudden the area is being restricted by FN post fire.

One thing I have learned is when a position is taken you need to ask who, what, why, where, when.
In this case it is Why. Why all off a sudden is this area being shut down by a group of folks I HAVE NEVER SEEN IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA EVER.

Morel mushrooms are a by product after a fire and are prolific the first yr and very lucrative financially.

So, I asked myself why the sudden need to control access of an area that previously has never had an FN presence, has never been an area of interest until now?
What frustrates me is the Gov bows and supports this type of behavior.

Get used of it folks.

Again, 2 different sets of rules, one favoring the natives and (a much restrictive) one for the rest.

I understand it's almost all resource extraction.

The first step is to cultivate significant antipathy for race-based rights. Politicians will follow, then the courts.

Writing on the wall for sometime.

Since the 1990s.

What's our best course of action? Will letters to our MLAs have any effect?

[Walking Buffalo]

Since the 1990s.

No.
Since B.C. joined Canada.


I figured this out independently as a 19 year old while taking an Anthropology course in 1989.
I've been warning about the issue ever since.

If a wandering 19 year old could foresee the legal issues, there must have been more than a few smarter people over the last 150 years that did the same.

Past and present Provincial and Federal governments, and most importantly, the citizens, are equally responsible for the current situation.

Wake up and see the writing on the wall. Anything us Whiteys enjoy will be targeted. The new arrivals don't want us and our cultural traditions around. Hunting, fishing, contact sports..anything European oriented is going to be under attack.
