Abandoned land deals are bad news for property owners in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada. Prime Minister Mark Carney and his liberal government were feeling left out of all the insane indigenous land deals going on in BC, and so they decided to sign their own.

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.
00:00:06.300 So apparently, Prime Minister Mark Carney and his federal liberal government were feeling very left
00:00:12.700 out of all the insane indigenous land deals going on in British Columbia, and so they decided to 1.00
00:00:18.780 sign their own. You can't make this stuff up. I thought that Carney was leading a new liberal
00:00:24.400 government, and he keeps doing stuff that you would expect from Justin Trudeau, because he is
00:00:29.660 no different than Justin Trudeau. I don't know what is animating them to do this. It hit the
00:00:35.160 headlines, and it was only received negatively, because this is obviously one of the dumbest 0.99
00:00:39.740 things they could possibly do. I don't know how this benefits Canada. I don't know how this benefits 0.94
00:00:45.120 British Columbia, and we are completely leaving at the lower mainland, because apparently we're just
00:00:50.180 signing away the entire lower mainland. Does this help anyone in the lower mainland? They're going
00:00:55.860 to spin it somehow. They're going to say that we have to do this, or we're not going to be able to
00:00:59.580 get any projects approved. You guys are the government. You can approve whatever projects
00:01:04.380 you want. Anyways, I'm already mad. We will be getting into the details of what's going on in
00:01:09.560 just a second here, but first, I just want to say, if you like the channel, make sure to leave a like
00:01:14.500 on this video. Subscribe if you are not yet a subscriber. Leave a comment about what you think
00:01:19.580 about all this nonsense, and then I also want to say, if you live in British Columbia, strongly
00:01:24.960 consider joining the 1BC party. This is why 1BC exists, because no other party was taking this
00:01:32.540 issue seriously, and they still aren't. Even the BC conservatives, who are apparently upset about
00:01:37.520 this, are not tackling the issue properly. I'm not trying to be pedantic based on the exact word
00:01:43.600 choice they're using in criticizing what's going on. I mean, they're not actually criticizing the land
00:01:48.620 deal. They're criticizing the secrecy, the lack of transparency. Who cares? But I'll get to that in
00:01:55.480 just a second. So to get a bit of background on what's going on here, I am going to be reading
00:02:00.520 from this Fraser Institute article first, and then I want to get into some of the details like Premier
00:02:06.300 David Eby in British Columbia pretending he had no clue that this deal was being signed, and then
00:02:12.120 being exposed to have been at the signing this last weekend, and he absolutely knew what was coming
00:02:17.120 down the pike, and still did not inform people. Anyways, so this article, this article's headline
00:02:23.200 reads, Another Blow to BC's Economy, Ottawa Recognizes Aboriginal Title. I'm just going to read a few
00:02:30.140 paragraphs here. It says, The blows keep coming for an increasingly bow-regarded British Columbia,
00:02:36.600 on the heels of a disastrous provincial budget that envisages a largely stagnant economy,
00:02:43.260 historic deficits, and a dizzying rise in government debt, as far as the eye can see,
00:02:48.300 comes news that Carney's government has concluded agreements with the lower mainland-based Musqueam
00:02:54.900 and Indian Band that promised to raise fresh questions about the status of property rights in
00:03:00.800 BC. According to the federal government's news release, the Musqueam and the government of Canada
00:03:06.280 have jointly pledged to recognize Musqueam Aboriginal rights and strengthen Musqueam's roles
00:03:12.460 in fisheries, stewardship, and marine management. One of the three agreements goes further,
00:03:18.640 recognizing that the Musqueam have, quote, Aboriginal rights including title within their traditional
00:03:24.120 territories, unquote, and affirms that the parties intend to establish, quote, a framework for
00:03:30.440 incremental implementation of rights and nation-to-nation relations with Canada. Now, notice here
00:03:37.740 that this news release was dated February 20th. That's odd that we're talking about it on March 2nd.
00:03:44.320 Shouldn't this be old news by now? Well, the federal liberals, Carney's liberal government,
00:03:51.880 snuck in this agreement in a fisheries announcement. Nobody really follows anything that comes out of most
00:03:59.720 ministries, especially the Ministry of Fisheries. Nobody cares. Except they just slipped in one of the most
00:04:06.960 devastating things for property owners in the lower mainland into this fisheries announcement.
00:04:12.040 This was actually uncovered by Juno News, a great independent media outlet that was just scanning
00:04:18.380 around government documents and came across this that is, again, promising to just give Aboriginal title
00:04:25.360 over the vast majority of the population of British Columbia. The vast majority of the population
00:04:31.440 lives in the lower mainland in BC, and all their property is being put under Aboriginal title.
00:04:38.580 Now, this doesn't mean that for if you live in the lower mainland, you're going to get kicked out of
00:04:42.500 your house and your title of your house is going to be given over to the Indigenous band, but with
00:04:48.260 Aboriginal title sitting over top of your house's title, yes, they're not going to take away the house,
00:04:53.660 but maybe you owe a portion of your property taxes to the Musqueam Band, which requires your local
00:04:59.880 municipality to raise taxes because they are now not getting as much revenue out of it because they
00:05:05.540 have to pass more to the Musqueam. Or maybe if you have a dock and you want to rebuild your wooden dock
00:05:11.580 or put up a completely new one, you might have to consult with the Aboriginal band and they are going
00:05:17.480 to charge you archaeological digging fees and stuff like that, or they just outright block a project
00:05:22.580 happening within the territory. This isn't even just over Metro Vancouver. It actually extends quite far
00:05:29.260 up the coast as well, where there could be resource projects being worked on, lots of utilities
00:05:34.220 projects, things, you know, hydro projects could be up there. This is just absolutely insane that this
00:05:40.740 was ever signed. So I always want to show you guys what the map looks like in a second here.
00:05:46.240 It's just beyond anything that you would expect. Like I thought again, now I don't like Mark Carney. I
00:05:53.400 thought he would be smart enough to avoid nonsense like this. Now, now I realize I shouldn't expect
00:05:58.440 anything from this dude, but this is the agreement. This is where Aboriginal title has been recognized,
00:06:05.140 but from the federal government. Look at that. It basically goes a little bit south over the Fraser
00:06:11.880 River, cuts a little bit of the north off of Surrey, takes half a Coquitlam, runs over Burke
00:06:17.640 Mountain up the coast, comes back down, cuts west around Lions Bay, and then grabs up everything,
00:06:25.560 including Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond. Isn't this the funniest thing of all? Apparently we're going to
00:06:31.100 have a new First Nations war because the Cowichan are claiming Richmond, and now the Musqueam are claiming
00:06:38.800 everything. This actually is probably why the Musqueam are actually suing the Cowichan right now to try and
00:06:45.480 overturn the previous Cowichan agreement because the Musqueam had bigger ideas because there are big
00:06:52.100 brained boys and girls out there at the Musqueam band, which is only 1495 people, by the way, and they
00:06:59.300 wanted the whole thing. They were going to come in and beg the whole crowd, and the Carney liberals are
00:07:05.400 letting them. They can say all day long, well, no, no, no, this is not going to affect the property of
00:07:09.760 anyone. You're not going to be kicked out of your own house. Of course this has implications because
00:07:15.440 they only got this deal because they said they want to be more self-sufficient, more economically
00:07:20.740 self-sufficient, which means extortion. It means the Musqueam band are going to find reasons to get
00:07:26.740 cuts out of everything that happens in this territory because it's their ancestral territory.
00:07:32.260 It's their traditional territory. Now, the BC conservatives are calling this agreement out,
00:07:37.540 but they're doing it in the dumbest way possible. One BC leader, Dallas Brody, cut a video this 0.96
00:07:43.280 morning, and she is unequivocal. This needs to be reversed. In fact, every liberal MP who knew about
00:07:48.760 it should resign because they should have told their constituents about this. They knew this was
00:07:53.500 going to impact their property, and they said nothing. And it absolutely is going to affect property
00:07:59.240 because how else does this make the Musqueam more economically independent if they're not taking a cut
00:08:04.920 of things. If they're not taking a cut, this doesn't get them anything. If it's just symbolic,
00:08:09.780 it's not symbolic. And if it is symbolic based on the government's definition, this is a demonstration
00:08:16.120 of why symbols matter. But I want to now jump over to David Eby having to admit the fact that he knew
00:08:23.320 this was happening after previously claiming that they did not know. Because in question period today
00:08:29.020 in the House in British Columbia at the BC legislature, the BC NDP claimed that they only
00:08:36.600 found out about this alongside everybody else. The classic Barack Obama move. Oh, well, I read it in
00:08:41.540 the news like everyone else did. How would you not know? Oh, come on. But here is Eby admitting the
00:08:46.980 truth just an hour and a half ago. You said at the outset, Premier, on the Musqueam announcement that
00:08:53.120 you hadn't been briefed on it yet. I find that a bit startling. Did the feds not brief you? Or do you
00:08:59.760 mean you just haven't gotten caught up on it? Can you explain that a bit? Yeah, sure, Les. To the best
00:09:06.440 of my understanding, the provincial government was not briefed at the political level on this. I can't
00:09:10.540 say whether or not at this stage, whether any public service members had line of sight to it.
00:09:15.020 I certainly didn't. But with that said, I'm not surprised that the feds were involved in these
00:09:20.140 conversations. They've been involved with these conversations with Musqueam for a long time. The
00:09:24.340 Sparrow case that found that there were indigenous fishing rights came from Musqueam. Musqueam has a
00:09:30.880 title claim that's about a decade old that they filed claiming against the federal government.
00:09:37.200 And so engaging these conversations entirely appropriate. I think the lesson the federal
00:09:43.180 government is learning over the weekend is that there is a heightened environment for these
00:09:48.360 conversations and these agreements right now. And they have to go above and beyond is a lesson
00:09:52.380 that the provincial government is in no position to lecture people on. We're doing our own work
00:09:56.200 to make sure we're bringing people along on this as well. And we'll be engaging with the feds to
00:10:01.480 understand the implications of the decision for the provincial government while recognizing the
00:10:05.260 importance of this work to be done. What work to be done? Really, the only work that should be done
00:10:10.920 is getting rid of the Indian Act and amending Section 35 of the Constitution to stop allowing nonsense like 1.00
00:10:17.700 this happened. Now, we had normal judges. This wouldn't be happening anyways. But apparently,
00:10:22.060 we need it all written out in very clear crayon for them so they can understand that no, you cannot
00:10:28.200 rule that property is somebody else's because their ancestors walked by a rock 400 years ago. That's
00:10:34.700 insane. Metro Vancouver is pretty well developed right now, I would say. I don't think that they had
00:10:41.000 anything to do with the existence of these cities. Apparently, Wayne Sparrow, the chief of the
00:10:45.700 Musqueam must walk out of his house every single day and just marvel at the fact that all of this is
00:10:50.620 because of me. All these skyscrapers are out here because I will that this piece of land exists.
00:10:57.520 It's such a clown show. Here is another post that came out shortly after David Eby was 0.74
00:11:05.200 answering these questions. Rob Shaw from Check News says,
00:11:08.960 David Eby's office admits Premier actually attended the Musqueam-Ottawa signing even in his
00:11:28.080 event in person in his riding, but says Premier still unaware of contents. So he was literally at the
00:11:34.960 soiree to hand all of this land over to Aboriginal title and he still didn't know that it was
00:11:41.920 happening. So apparently he is completely stupid. He doesn't know what he's doing and he should 1.00
00:11:47.260 probably resign. Another person who should resign, I want to highlight here, is the federal liberal MP
00:11:54.940 for the area of Vancouver Quadra, Wade Grant. Because Grant Wade, Wade Grant, it's one of those two.
00:12:03.980 Wade Grant literally is a member of the Musqueam band. I posted this earlier today. I said, did Wade Grant
00:12:11.140 know about the Musqueam land title deal ahead of time? Seems like he would. Wade is a member of the
00:12:17.200 Musqueam band, a parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Environment, and a liberal MP in Vancouver.
00:12:22.780 And he did not tell the people, the public, his constituents, their land title was going to be
00:12:28.640 undermined by his friends on the band council, his minister, and the prime minister. And no,
00:12:34.200 it's not an overstatement to say his friends on the band council because he used to be a band
00:12:38.500 councillor. He would have been a band councillor for Musqueam when this lawsuit was started. So he works
00:12:45.200 for the liberal government, he's an MP, and he's a Musqueam band member, and somehow his constituents
00:12:52.280 were never told this was happening. This is a massive conflict of interest, to put it mildly.
00:12:58.600 It's absolutely insane that this is happening. And the BC Conservatives have been going out there
00:13:02.800 and saying, well, really, what's so bad about this is the lack of transparency, the secrecy.
00:13:08.880 This is going to cause division. This is an actual post put up by the interim BC Conservative
00:13:14.500 leader, Trevor Halford. Here's his take on all of it. And now he's not 100% wrong, but it's what he
00:13:22.360 leaves out, which is just so baffling to me. Trevor Halford here says, here we go again. Without a word
00:13:29.220 to the nearly 2 million residents affected, the federal government has formally recognized
00:13:33.200 Musqueam Aboriginal rights and title across Metro Vancouver. We have seen what happens in the past
00:13:38.660 when these agreements are done in secrecy behind closed doors. It creates confusion, uncertainty and
00:13:44.080 division in BC. When asked about this agreement, the Premier said he hasn't been briefed. This is
00:13:48.960 unacceptable. How could the Premier not know about an agreement of such significance? Then it later
00:13:54.000 came out that he did know about it. But seriously, Trevor, it creates confusion, uncertainty and division.
00:14:00.680 Maybe it undermines people's property rights. It undermines public and private property rights.
00:14:06.040 In fact, we shouldn't be caring about the crowned land too, the public property, because that's
00:14:10.940 everyone's public property. Not everyone's public property, but especially the Musqueam. That's
00:14:16.460 absolutely insane. But the BC Conservatives couldn't, cannot get this issue right. They'll call it out for
00:14:23.120 being secret. Oh, there's too much secrecy around this. Guys, birthday parties are basically planned in
00:14:30.260 secrecy. The secrecy isn't what makes something wrong. The wrongness of it makes it wrong. The
00:14:35.900 taking away people's private property rights is what makes it wrong. Undermining it with Aboriginal 1.00
00:14:41.640 land title is wrong. We had the conservative critic for Indigenous affairs, Scott McInnes,
00:14:50.080 get up and he even said ancestral territory. Don't use the terms like that. You're basically giving
00:14:56.980 them their legal argument that this is their ancestral territory. Their traditional territories
00:15:01.780 is, I think, the specific phrase he used. Stop acquiescing to this. What is this? Stop agreeing with that
00:15:09.260 it's their territory. It's not. It's everyone's territory or the private property right holders. This isn't
00:15:15.680 even good for First Nations people. This is further collectivization of everything for the Indigenous 1.00
00:15:22.000 Ban Council. Indigenous people have such high poverty rates because they can't own anything. Yes, they give,
00:15:28.380 they are sometimes given large benefits by their Ban Councils or by the government. But that doesn't
00:15:33.900 really fix the fact that they don't own their own property unless they live off reserve. Those who 0.99
00:15:38.240 live on reserve live in such high rates of poverty because you can't own anything. If, in fact, if you
00:15:44.240 complain about it, the Ban Council might turn off the gas to your house or the power or the water because
00:15:49.980 they're allowed to do stuff like that. We need real individualism for First Nations people. Making them 1.00
00:15:56.360 live like this is pathetic. And then using them as poverty props to then basically justify these insane 1.00
00:16:01.940 agreements that are being signed. But anyways, that should be it for today, guys. Thank you for
00:16:07.540 watching. Please check out the 1BC Party. I will link in the description below and pin at the top the
00:16:13.920 comments Dallas Brody's video on this issue. She did a fantastic rant where she went into detail
00:16:19.260 on some of the things around this and she called for Wade Grant and some other liberal MP to resign
00:16:25.420 over this nonsense. Check out the 1BC website and consider donating or joining the party.
00:16:31.320 Anyways, with that all being said, thank you guys for watching and I'll see you all later.
