thePodcast: Are the Cowichan and Haida decisions the beginning of the end of private property in B.C.?

For the week of Nov. 16, 2025:

Is it the beginning of the end for private property in British Columbia?

After a decade-long B.C. Supreme Court battle, the Cowichan First Nation won title to 800 acres of Richmond farm and industrial land in August. 

In September, the court confirmed aboriginal title on Haida Gwaii.

Both decisions sparked questions about the NDP government’s handling of Indigenous land claims and its adoption of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Guest Geoffrey Moyse spent 31 years as a lawyer with the B.C. Attorney General’s department and advised six B.C. governments on aboriginal law. He joins Bob Mackin on this edition of thePodcast. 

As usual, Pacific Rim and Pacific Northwest headlines and the Virtual Nanaimo Bar.
