The Cowichan Decision has rocked Metro Vancouver — but what does it really mean for homeowners, real estate investors, and property ownership in Metro Vancouver and the province? Vancouver lawyer Sam Adkins joins Matt & Adam to unpack the landmark ruling that recognized Aboriginal title on private land in Richmond, a first in Canadian history! Could this ruling challenge the very foundation of private property ownership in B.C.? What happens to mortgage renewals and home sales inside claim areas? Will this spark a wave of new title claims across the province and country? Sam explains the case, the players, and what happens next as this decision heads to appeal. From the constitutional roots of Aboriginal title to the practical realities for everyday property owners, this conversation cuts through the noise to reveal what’s at stake for the future of land in B.C. A must listen for anyone who owns, plans to own, lends on, or develops land in British Columbia.
