There Is a Constitutional Crisis in Canada. You Just Don’t Know It yet.

On Friday, the B.C. Supreme Court declared Aboriginal title over the entire island of Haida Gwaii—with the consent of both the provincial and federal governments. This follows agreements already signed to transfer ownership and control of the island from the people of Canada to the Haida Nation.
Nobody fully understands what this means.
What we do know is that Aboriginal title is ownership of the land itself. Our governments are now bound by court order to recognize that title and surrender control of Haida Gwaii in accordance with those agreements.
The Haida Nation voted on these agreements. But their members represent only about half the island’s residents. Imagine being among the rest. You are now governed by rulers you cannot elect, accountable only to those who share their ancestry. They now meaningfully own and control your home or business. What is your land worth? What protects you from unfair taxation or regulation? Will your Charter rights even apply under an Aboriginal government?
You may not need to imagine for long.
Premier David Eby’s NDP government is already at dozens of tables negotiating similar agreements across B.C. The only obstacle is overlapping claims. But once those are sorted out, the rest of the province will follow.
If this is what you want—a province carved into dozens of ethnostates ruled by unaccountable elites—then by all means, remain silent. Downplay. Pretend.
We are witnessing an unprecedented betrayal of the Canadian public.
Worried about American influence? About Beijing’s creeping hand in our politics? Our leaders are literally giving our country away.
Will you let them?
To defend British Columbia and recover Canada, we must stop giving it away.
Canada must withdraw from UNDRIP. Adopted internationally in 2017, made law in B.C. in 2019 with unanimous support—including David Eby and John Rustad—and passed federally in 2021, UNDRIP requires Canadian laws to conform to a framework that demands land be given away and public money flow endlessly to aboriginal groups. It is a disaster that should never have been endorsed. Repeal must be a top priority.
But even repeal will not end the threat. Courts have shown in the Tsilhqot’in and Cowichan cases that they will declare Aboriginal title even against government objections. Why? Because in 1982, Pierre Trudeau entrenched Aboriginal property rights in section 35 of the Constitution—rights not subject to the notwithstanding clause.
That means real change requires constitutional reform.
We must remove the constitutional status of Aboriginal title, so that all Canadians have equal property rights. And we must go further: eliminate all race-based rights and privileges from our Constitution.
This is a true constitutional crisis. But it is also an opportunity: to restore equality, to end division, and to build a Canada that belongs to every citizen equally. The future is still ours to shape—if we choose to fight for it.
