Recent developments in Canada have sparked debate over property rights and forest management policies. In Nova Scotia, authorities have imposed a ban on access to wooded areas, a move that has drawn criticism and raised concerns about restrictions on freedoms. The ban is part of broader tensions regarding Indigenous and non-Indigenous property rights, as only Indigenous peoples in Canada have constitutional protection for their property, while non-Indigenous Canadians do not. This disparity has led to fears that land acknowledgements may precede eviction notices for non-Indigenous residents. Meanwhile, in British Columbia, a Supreme Court ruling transferred ownership of Richmond waterfront sites to the Cowichan Nation, prompting apprehension about potential expropriation without compensation and setting a precedent for landowners. These issues reflect ongoing controversies around land rights, governance, and regulatory approaches in Canada.
