The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - No property rights! Richmond sounds alarm on Insane Court case!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. We have an absolutely crazy story coming out of British 1.00

00:00:06.300 Columbia over the past two days that should be concerning to every single property owner in

00:00:11.780 Canada because if it can happen in Richmond, BC, it can absolutely happen where you live.

00:00:18.780 So we had this court ruling about a month and a half ago or so called Cowichan Tribes vs. Canada

00:00:25.520 where the judge found that the Cowichan Ban Council effectively has aboriginal title over most of

00:00:33.920 the city of Richmond despite the fact that it is mostly fee simple land also known as private

00:00:40.460 property. Now technically the ruling was just about crown land. The problem with those saying

00:00:46.880 this doesn't actually affect your private property it's just talking about crown land is that the

00:00:52.240 crown is who designated portions of the land as fee simple. It started off as crown land and then

00:00:59.780 they allowed it to become private property but because the crown never legitimately owned it

00:01:05.300 that means that you don't actually own your own home. Now no I don't think the Cowichan Tribe is

00:01:11.820 going to steal your home from you but what this could end up possibly doing is allowing for bands

00:01:18.660 like the Cowichan Band to basically take some of your property taxes as revenue to them. And what

00:01:25.960 makes us extra ridiculous is that there's another lawsuit I believe from the Musqueam First Nation

00:01:32.340 suing the Cowichan First Nation for claiming it's their land because they also think it's their land.

00:01:38.040 Make it make sense. But we need to read this letter here and then I also want to talk about some other

00:01:43.000 things related to BC politics because things have been crazy here ever since I got to Victoria yesterday

00:01:49.700 and you guys need to hear about it. But we will first start off with this screenshot of the letter

00:01:55.320 that the city of Richmond has been putting out to homeowners. It was posted by Jim McMurtry who is now

00:02:00.980 actually the first 1BC candidate that we have announced. He will be running in the riding of Delta

00:02:07.120 South. So if you like 1BC who I work for and Jim McMurtry, check out the website for 1BC in the

00:02:14.140 description below. Just 1BC.ca. Check it out. I'll also have it pinned at the top of the comments.

00:02:21.260 So Jim here says, when will they come for your house? City of Richmond is telling homeowners that

00:02:26.820 the status and validity of their ownership is in doubt because a Vancouver Island ban said their

00:02:32.080 great-grandparents once fished there. And that is not an exaggeration at all.

00:02:37.120 This is actually what this gets into. So we will just read the letter. This is not a troll. This

00:02:43.140 was something that the city itself put out. Remember, pretty much every city government

00:02:48.260 in British Columbia is going to be pretty woke. So this is what a woke liberal government, or at least

00:02:55.920 tolerant of woke ideas type government, put out to its own homeowners because suddenly this all became

00:03:02.220 very real and we can no longer afford to be culturally sensitive because now we're talking

00:03:08.120 about homeownership. It says here, notice to registered owner. Please take note that recent

00:03:14.960 BC Supreme Court decision of Kalachan Tribes versus Canada 2025 BCSC 1490 made some very important

00:03:23.020 decisions which could negatively affect the title to your property. A briefing note prepared by the

00:03:28.100 City of Richmond staff is attached for your reference. If you look at the draft map attached to the briefing,

00:03:33.240 your property is located within the claimed area outlined in green. For those whose property is in

00:03:38.840 this area outlined in black, the court has declared Aboriginal title to your property, which may

00:03:43.720 compromise the status and validity of your ownership. This was mandated without any prior notice to the

00:03:49.560 landowners. The entire area outlined in green is claimed on appeal by the Kalachan First Nations.

00:03:55.380 Given the serious implications of the court decision and the pending appeal, this city is hosting an

00:04:00.040 information session to be held on Tuesday, October 28th, 2025 at 7pm at Richmond City Hall. We hope that

00:04:07.400 you can intend to learn more about this important situation. Now, I actually really like that this is

00:04:13.400 happening in Richmond BC, not because I have any dislike of the people of Richmond. In fact, I very much like

00:04:20.280 the people of Richmond BC because it is a disproportionately Asian Canadian city. And the thing is, what I love most

00:04:28.520 about Asian Canadians is that they do not care about woke nonsense, for the most part. Yeah, you'll get some 1.00

00:04:35.160 woke politicians from specific from those specific communities in Canada as well. But you're not going

00:04:40.600 to get a lot of Chinese or Korean or Japanese Canadians willing to put up with this, which is why it may be the

00:04:47.720 perfect place to push back on this court ruling. Whereas if you did this in Victoria, they would probably just

00:04:54.200 go along with it in Victoria, they almost already act in the city like they don't even own their own

00:04:59.480 property. But what this basically is attempting to do is say that whatever you purchased, you didn't

00:05:06.680 actually purchase because truly 150 years ago, 100 years ago, this may have been potentially a Kalachan

00:05:16.600 fishing village. Now, the Musqueam dispute that. They say it could have also been there. So it's just

00:05:22.760 horseshoes at this point. We don't know who owns anything. And this is also not how government should

00:05:28.360 be run. Now, I was going to go through and show you what people like the BC Attorney General Nikki

00:05:34.920 Sharma had said about this, or even the Premier David Eby had said about this. But they truly didn't say

00:05:41.320 anything on social media. Now, they've talked to the media when they've been hounded by this. I was just in

00:05:47.560 the legislature today. And they had multiple MLAs, including our one BC leader Dallas Brody asking

00:05:53.480 them questions on why they seem to be throwing the case. And they're not really messaging on this

00:05:58.920 issue because they're not doing a very good job on it. They've effectively let the Kalachan win

00:06:04.200 because they're not actually arguing in court for the legal extinguishment of Aboriginal title.

00:06:10.200 Because if you don't argue for extinguishment, you're basically saying that

00:06:14.120 any vague ownership that someone had at any time back in history can now apply today. Even

00:06:21.000 though there's no real legal records to prove that somebody was in use of an area that they

00:06:25.720 could actually claim to have ownership, it doesn't matter. If someone told a story that they were once

00:06:30.680 in an area, that is now equally valid to you who live in your house currently. Someone may have

00:06:38.520 no, you wanted to use this as a fishing village back in the day, is now basically of equal value to the

00:06:45.400 fact that you and your family live on that property and you like to play soccer with your

00:06:50.200 six-year-old kid in the backyard. It's absolutely ridiculous. This is not how law should work. It is the 0.99

00:06:57.320 undermining of Canada to just have horseshoe law like this where, you know, things don't really matter

00:07:02.600 all that much. What really matters is social justice before, you know, actual justice that

00:07:08.440 you own the things that you own and that we're not going to go back to the fossil record to determine

00:07:13.080 who really, really owns it. It's foolish. But now I need to talk about some other things that happened 0.99

00:07:19.160 today because BC politics is a complete clown show right now and yet another person has left the BC

00:07:27.320 Conservative Caucus. Now, if this was the only person to leave the BC Conservative Caucus, I'd 0.68

00:07:32.360 actually be congratulating John Rustad because they were one of the worst MLAs in the entire caucus

00:07:37.400 and they're not conservative at all. But this person's not leaving out of a principled reason,

00:07:42.680 they're just leaving because they actually were always a secret liberal that John Rustad insisted on

00:07:47.720 being a candidate and because even John wasn't being liberal enough for her, she's on her way out.

00:07:52.760 Quote, Rob Shaw here says, new Penticton Summerlands MLA Amelia Boltby is quitting the BC Conservative Caucus,

00:08:00.600 says John Rustad is handing next election to BC NDP, and quote, his failed leadership needs to end,

00:08:07.160 unquote, says he's resorting to intimidation to keep caucus from voting against him, calls on him to resign.

00:08:15.400 Now, I can agree with a Boltby that Rustad should resign. At the same time, Boltby should have

00:08:22.360 never been in caucus in the first place. She should have never been allowed to run for the Conservatives.

00:08:27.720 She, in fact, started attacking one BC for holding an event in Penticton, her riding, because we're 0.78

00:08:35.320 racist and phobic of some sort. She's a woke scold who the party simply ran because she was friends with 1.00

00:08:42.520 their former chief of staff. It's so stupid the kind of decisions that the BC Conservatives make and why 1.00

00:08:49.720 they make them. I, I now need to go to the next part of this, where John Rustad responded to Boltby 1.00

00:08:56.120 leaving in, honestly, it's kind of a funny response. Like, if, if he just became like some sort of roast

00:09:02.920 comedian like this, maybe I'd like John better. Uh, I love because Boltby attacked John for having a

00:09:09.480 problem with women, which is just stupid. He doesn't have a problem with women. He's just a bad leader. 1.00

00:09:15.960 And it just so happens that out of the five people who have left, four of them are women. Dallas Brody

00:09:21.240 and Tara Armstrong of the one BC party would never make that argument because it's stupid. But Boltby's 1.00

00:09:26.920 a woke scold, so she always makes a woke scold argument. But I love how John in this press conference

00:09:32.440 surrounds himself with four female MLAs because he's actually so pathetic. He has to try and respond 0.99

00:09:39.480 to Amelia's criticism by like surrounding himself with women. Like, see, I don't have a problem with

00:09:43.000 women. But his actual response is funnier than just that. He then says here, after Lou, Dropshaw says,

00:09:50.600 new, after losing his fifth MLA, John Rustad refuses to resign. Instead, he accuses Amelia Boltby of not

00:09:57.560 being supportive of caucus positions, such as EDU changes due to Soji. Also says she supports Amas,

00:10:04.280 says he had heard complaints from people in her writing about her. And then it goes on to say,

00:10:09.640 Rusted says Boltby has had mental health issues in the past, says he is concerned about her current

00:10:14.600 well-being, faces questions on if he has a problem with female MLAs after four more have departed caucus.

00:10:21.720 Now that's really funny for multiple reasons. One, the mental health thing is kind of funny because

00:10:27.080 Boltby frankly probably made up a story about how people threw rocks at her house, like multiple

00:10:34.360 vehicles pulled up and several individuals threw rocks at her house after our one BC event had gone 0.52

00:10:40.120 on. I can tell you it didn't happen. The communications staff of the BC Conservative Party

00:10:47.800 have never been able to get her to send photos of the apparent damage from people hucking rocks at her

00:10:52.200 house at her car because she probably made it up. And so I like that John's effectively admitting

00:10:56.760 that when he and other conservative MLA said, Oh, that's so concerning. So attached your attacked

00:11:01.160 your house that they probably knew she was lying the entire time. She's like the Jesse Smollett of BC 0.97

00:11:06.600 politics. You know, a bunch of people ran over to her house and chucked rocks and then they threw a

00:11:11.080 noose over her head and splashed with bleach and said, This is one BC country ran off into the night.

00:11:15.240 But whatever, you know, that's its own thing. And then she says she supports Hamas.

00:11:23.720 That's not actually untrue. In fact, it's nice to know that John reads my feed because I was the

00:11:29.960 one who went after her for being insane and saying that Israel, what Israel was doing in Gaza, i.e.

00:11:36.600 fighting Hamas was the worst thing since the Holocaust. It's the worst human right, like, 1.00

00:11:41.800 the worst war crime since the Holocaust. Okay. Not only is Israel fighting Hamas and civilian 0.82

00:11:48.600 casualties have basically been been guaranteed from Hamas refusing to surrender, hiding behind 0.95

00:11:54.280 civilians and putting a lot of their artillery and rockets around hospitals and schools. But even if

00:12:00.200 that stuff wasn't true, and it absolutely is true, Israel is not trying to murder civilians.

00:12:05.240 If they wanted to, the casualties would be way higher than they are because they've been,

00:12:08.920 in fact, trying to be very meticulous in a very tough situation. Urban combat is almost impossible

00:12:14.280 not to take civilian casualties in. And they have kept the ratio very low compared to basically every

00:12:20.440 other conflict in human history. But even if they were attacking civilians, my goodness, even if they

00:12:27.960 were killing all those people deliberately, you don't know about other war crimes that have been

00:12:33.320 committed since World War II that far outscaled us, even if they were attempting to commit war crimes,

00:12:39.080 which, again, they are not. The Cambodian genocide, Rwanda, stuff that happened in the Korean War,

00:12:46.680 Vietnam War, Soviet-Afghanistan War. Like, I could keep going. Stuff in Libya, in the Middle East, Syria,

00:12:55.400 Yemen. What are we talking about? Iran? She doesn't know about other war crimes that have 0.83

00:13:02.360 happened in human history? The Iran-Iraq war? Do you not think there was war crimes all over the place? 0.77

00:13:09.160 She's just out of her mind. And so I'm not actually that shocked to see her move on.

00:13:14.840 And I'm going to have to give you guys more updates about what's happening in BC. So today,

00:13:18.840 we have John Rustad pretending that he cares about the implications of this Cowichan decision that's

00:13:23.960 undermining people's property rights. On the same day that his party is voting for something called

00:13:28.440 Bill 27, which is like the miscellaneous something act or whatever, which part of it allows for more

00:13:35.320 meetings involving indigenous people on a municipal level to be in camera, meaning that they're behind

00:13:41.400 closed doors and you don't get to know what's going on. They voted for that, or they're at least

00:13:45.240 saying they're voting for it last time I was watching the legislative live feed like five

00:13:49.320 minutes ago. It's all just so stupid. Anyways, well, if you're in British Columbia, consider voting for 1.00

00:13:57.080 and joining the 1BC party. We're still a few years away from an election, but obviously there needs to

00:14:02.440 be somebody standing up for common sense in this province. And the only way that we're actually going

00:14:07.080 to make sure that the common sense is represented, and even make the conservatives more normal,

00:14:12.760 if there is a party to their right forcing them to be more normal or ceding more support over to us so

00:14:18.920 at the very least there isn't a conservative option on the ballot. Anyways, so with all that being said,

00:14:25.160 thank you guys for watching. Like, share, and subscribe, and I'll talk to you guys all later.
