A complex trial involving a novel claim to a large swath of Lake Huron lake bed and allegations of broken promises is set to kick off in Toronto today.The two Aboriginal groups who make up the Saugeen Ojibway Nation launched their claims about two decades ago.They say their traditional territory includes what is now the Bruce Peninsula and lands south stretching from Goderich, Ont., to Collingwood, Ont.The case will likely take years to wind its way through the court system.
Essentially, two separate claims by the Saugeen Ojibway Nation – known as SON – against Ottawa and Ontario are in play. “This trial is not only a watershed moment for SON seeking recognition of our rights, but also for Indigenous peoples and Aboriginal rights across Canada,” Anoquot said in a statement.
SON now asserts that the Crown misled the First Nations and could have protected the peninsula as initially promised. The claim calls for the return of lands on the peninsula still owned by Ontario or Canada or that have not been bought and paid for by third parties. It’s not clear how much of the peninsula could be affected.Story continues below advertisement

Appeal of ruling suspends assault trial for ex-Afghanistan hostage Joshua BoyleThe assault trial of former Afghanistan hostage Joshua Boyle will be delayed for weeks or even months while the courts settle a dispute over whether his sexual history with his wife is admissible evidence. Hope he does time. He's an idiot and he's costing tax payers waaaaay too much money. No wonder his captors let him go. They prolly gave him a first class ticket to leave their country. A Trudeau friend going through the legal system has his trial suspended. This may be on the up and up, but when it comes to Trudeau's inner circle and justice, I can't help but be suspicious.

Appeal of ruling suspends assault trial for ex-Afghanistan hostage Joshua BoyleThe assault trial of former Afghanistan hostage Joshua Boyle will be delayed for weeks or even months while the courts settle a dispute over whether his sexual history with his wife is admissible evidence. Absolutely disguising, he wasn't a hostage. He voluntarily went on a pilgrimage to meet Jihadis. Why won't you ask his wife about her time as the hostage, Joshua was complicit in abusing her and the children. Please stop referring to him as an ex hostage. It makes him sound like a victim and he is no victim !! *Alleged hostage. You use 'alleged' even when you are talking about things that was recorded, proven, prosecuted. You should use it re this creature too. No one proved he was held as a hostage.
