Other than having to lose yet more freedom, we really don’t want to have to chip in for the war crimes’ reparations that are coming.
At this point, it’s not looking like a bad option.

You would list at whatever you can agree with the Realtor on. If you’re buying you would need an assessment to be approved for a mortgage most likely. If you want to borrow against your home, you would get a bank’s appraisal to determine fair market value, etc.
When we were seeing rapid property increases, government assessments lagged behind quite a bit. By hundreds of thousands of dollars at times. The government assessment is only used for property taxes.
Annexation avoids war
Can we at least get a few decapitation events?
Because some of our politicians really ought to be fired in to the sun at this point.
Our housing minister, Gregory roberts, recently blamed the Iran war for making Canadian houses so expensive. As if we haven’t had some of the most expensive housing on the planet for the last decade.
This guy was also mayor of Vancouver during the height of the real estate money laundering fiasco. That’s like putting a child predator at the head of Ministry of Children and Family Development.

And Alaskan natives are going after BC….a classic pincher maneuver
The Sinixt say their territory in Canada extends from south of the U.S. border to north of Revelstoke, B.C. but that area also encompasses the traditional territory of the Sylix Okanagan, Secwépemc Nations and Ktunaxa Nations.
I’m thinking this should be solved old school style….open warfare
A few dozen indigenous lawyers are accomplishing what Trump couldn’t.

They have a population of around a couple thousand and they want to lay claim to like a third of north America. They can fuck right off with that nonsense.

You said that right.
I’m guessing that this is causing a lot of tension between the groups. Is that playing out socially?
This is likely to topple our provincial government. It is becoming a very major issue.
Our premier (equivalent to governor) has painted himself in to a corner. He has been an advocate for indigenous rights forever, and has been fully in favour of this change in dynamics. Now that it is being put in to practice, and causing real issues with businesses, landowners, and major projects, he is starting to back pedal and expressing desire to change the wording of some recent legislation he was previously in favour of. That is angering the indigenous groups and their supporters. He is in a no-win position now.
There are definitely indigenous groups suing other indigenous groups who lay claim to similar territory. The problem is, most of these groups are tiny and claim large, overlapping territories.
Recently, Vancouver Airport reached a deal with the indigenous group that lays claim to the land on which the airport sits. They will now get 1% of total revenue from YVR. YVR is one of the biggest airports on the west coast of the continent, the main gateway to Asia, and the indigenous group in question has 1400 people in it. There are dozens of such agreements either in place or in the works that are diverting funds to groups that have no accountability and don’t pay taxes.
This is going to tie up courts for decades and be a major drag on BC’s once flourishing economy moving forward.
Just use the not withstanding clause and neutralize all of this stupidity
You can’t use it because it is racist, offensive and will negatively impact the reconciliation and further victimize the natives. These are the words the natives use all the time to trump anything you want to do.
It is proper.
So?
