Canadians living in British Columbia's Richmond area afraid they will lose property title to their homes.

In August, a B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled the Cowichan Tribes have Aboriginal title over about 750 acres on the Fraser River, that Crown and city titles on the land are defective and invalid, and the granting of private titles on it by the government unjustifiably infringed on the Cowichan title.

A letter from the City of Richmond sent to a group of 150 property owners is raising alarm bells in the city. The ruling gives the Cowichan Nation title to 7.5 square kilometres of land in South Richmond, including city and port lands, farms, golf courses and commercial properties.
?There isn?t an area in the province that isn?t going to be potentially impacted by the decision that is coming from this court case,? B.C.Conservative Leader, J. Rustad said. (Global News, Oct. 20, 2025)

?The Court?s decision to undermine established fee simple ownership of the properties under the BC Land Title Act within the identified area is unprecedented and compromises the entire land title system in British Columbia,? said Mayor Malcolm Brodie. ?Property owners in Richmond and throughout the province can no longer rely on their title confirming a fee simple interest as conclusive evidence of absolute ownership of their land. The Court?s untenable decision cannot remain unchallenged.? (Richmond News Sept. 4, 2025)


Is this another step to bring about the slogan,

"You will own nothing and be happy" in which individuals don't own actual property, but rather "rent" services.

Reminds me of something happening in Kamloops, also in B.C.
The Aboriginals already, through their treaty rights, had title to a fairly large piece of unused land, which was partitioned into lots and put on sale. Now one could not actually buy the property, one could only "rent" a "lease" which supposedly was good for 100 years. So the buyers of the "leased property" would build and develop the property as if it belonged to them, BUT they didn't own anything. After 100 years it would all belong to Aboriginal tribe.
