I think the long term plan is to amend Canada's Constitution to remove Common Property principles and ultimate authority for management resting with the Crown. Moves are afoot to dismantle management policy that ensures Canada has ultimate governance and decision making authority over its land and resources. Instead advocates are working towards ceding decision making authority to FN's under the veil of co-management. BC has done that with the Haida agreement, which will face constitutional road blocks unless the Libs ultimately make moves to amend the Constitution. The Conservatives are the sole party in opposition to this, and I think understand that the other 96% of Canadians will not ultimately subscribe to government of the whole by 4% of Canada's population.....when or if all Canadians become aware of what this form of reconciliation brings to land ownership, crown land management, resource management etc.

Frightening for all concerned IMO. Not what true reconciliation should look like. The current approach FN's leadership are taking along with some ill informed politicians drunk with liberalism ideals is their current approach ultimately leads to a place of exacting what will be experienced as a form of retribution for non-indigenous Canadians not reconciliation. Once the reality sinks in for non-indigenous Canadians, the level of resentment and backlash will make real reconciliation nearly impossible or at best take us all decades to bring Canada back together.

And yet the people of BC are still thinking that an NDP government would still be fine.
Guess the message is not getting through to the people.

Rustad wants B.C. Indigenous rights law repealed. Chief sees that as 40-year setback
B.C.'s legislation adopts the declaration as the framework for reconciliation and charts a path for the province to negotiate agreements with First Nations.

Where I live on vancouver island mosaic has esentially closed the bush to the public except on weekends if they feel like it. There arent even any areas to cut firewood these are areas i have accessed my whole life now closed off because a logging/land owner company decided with no consultation that it didnt want the public to have access. I totally agree that first nations closing off areas to the general public is not right but its been happening for years from resource companies and the government making decisions with no consultation, which will only get worse if the conservatives take power in this province. Be careful what you wish for it will just be a different group removing access which all started with the bc liberals selling off crown land to corporations and effectively giving them control of our access to places we could always go whenever we wanted.
The BC Liberals sold gobs of land for $493M. Three years later, they were worth $860M - BC | Globalnews.ca
And those sales happened at a time when property prices were climbing ever higher.
