Supreme Court ruling grants constitutional rights for Indigenous peoples outside Canada with ties to the landJudgment opens the door to the possibility that Indigenous people who are not citizens and live outside of Canada could claim title to lands in Canada, a right to enter Canada and a right to be consulted during development projects Really Good ruling. I saw one report - may be a year before- about those indigenous people separated in their birth but living in distant land like Britain- reported by you. Very pathetic. Now at last light at the end of the tunnel. So ridiculous every place on earth has seen the rise & fall of kingdoms and empires and adjust to new rulers & powers. Only here we are dragging out this 200 year old pity party. Everyone live by the same laws & regulations in the country they currently live in! Interesting court decision. Will the genie return to the bottle? I will read the decision to see whether jurisprudence from other countries was relied upon to persuade the SCC that the result would be sustainable in the long run without causing the legal system to collapse
