    With a party like the CAQ in power, you can forget about any land rights. These guys will sell their own mother if it means making an extra dollar.

        Oh I know. But when the company knocks on your door to tell you that you’re being evicted from your home, don’t rely on the CAQ to help you.

        Yes. My also limited understanding is that it might be traced back to some of the original treaties with the Indigenous peoples which said (or at least implied) that the Indigenous peoples were ceding only the surface to a depth of several inches.

        Sadly, the government then turned that into “Crown ownership” (as contrasted with private ownership) instead of Indigenous ownership. Much to the detriment of the economic and political power of the Indigenous peoples.
