Episode 392: On the morning of June 28, 2022, as staff and customers began their day at the Bank of Montreal in Saanich, British Columbia, twin brothers Matthew and Isaac Auchterlonie entered the branch clad in body armour and carrying semi-automatic rifles. Within moments, they herded twenty-two people into the bank's vault and set the stage for one of the most violent confrontations in recent Canadian history. More than a hundred shots were fired in the chaos that followed, leaving six police officers injured and both brothers dead, with the community left reeling and seeking answers.

Even though it's been three months since a B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled that Quw'utsun Nation (Cowichan Tribes, Stz'uminus First Nation, Penelakut Tribe, Halalt First Nation and Lyackson First Nation) hold Aboriginal title over some land in Richmond - the news is still making headlines, especially on the mainland. That's because the land includes some private property. But does the decision threaten private property rights in B.C.? An island leader explains why he doesn't think so.

October 31, 2025 - Premier David Eby says he's willing to go to an early election if his bill on a new north coast power transmission line fails -- but does he really want that or is there something else at play?

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.

We cover three major shifts in Canadian real estate: BC Land Ownership: The Cowichan Tribes won a land title ruling in BC Supreme Court, challenging ownership certainty since 95% of BC is unceded land. This creates risk for developers and lenders due to legal ambiguity. Ontario Rent Control: The government quickly abandoned plans to consult on "security of tenure" rules, showing the political power of tenants — over 50% of Toronto households rent. This reflects a shift toward renter-driven housing policy. Interest Rate Uncertainty: The Bank of Canada is signaling fewer rate cuts than expected, with markets pricing in a "pseudo-pause". This creates challenges for both homeowners and renters. The common theme: power is shifting in Canadian real estate — Indigenous nations reclaiming land, tenants reclaiming policy, and the Bank trying to reclaim inflation control.

Tensions were high and as expected it was standing room only at a meeting held last night in Richmond. It was an information meeting for landowners affected by a recent court ruling. The B.C. Supreme Court ruled in August that a parcel of land in south Richmond was historically a Cowichan summer village. The Bank of Canada has cut its benchmark interest rate by a quarter point today to 2.25% as economists widely expected. Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem says there isn't much more it can do at this point to help the country through the turmoil tied to tariffs - something he considers a structural shock to the economy.

The foundation of property ownership in British Columbia faces a potential earthquake with the landmark Cowichan Tribes decision. After what may be Canada's longest trial—spanning over 500 days—the judge delivered an 800-page ruling that could fundamentally alter who truly owns land throughout the province.Michael Mulligan breaks down this complex legal battle by explaining the collision between two powerful forces: BC's Torrens property system and Aboriginal title claims under Section 35 of the Constitution. The Torrens system provides what legal experts call "indefeasible title"—conclusive proof of ownership registered with the government that enables secure property transactions and mortgage lending. But the judge has ruled that Aboriginal title is "a prior and senior right to land" that can exist simultaneously with registered property ownership, potentially superseding private property rights despite the Torrens system's guarantees.The implications are profound. If Aboriginal title claims—which cover virtually the entire province, often with overlapping claims from multiple Indigenous groups—can override registered property ownership, what happens to homeowners who've worked their entire lives to pay for their properties? The economic consequences could be equally severe, as mortgage lending depends on the certainty of ownership. As Mulligan observes, the legal system ultimately depends on public acceptance: "If I tell you that the house you worked for and paid for is no longer yours, I don't know that that's generally going to be accepted." With BC already announcing its intention to appeal, this case will likely progress through higher courts, where judges must balance constitutional obligations to Indigenous peoples with maintaining a functional property system.

Even if you don't recognize the Cowichan sweater by its name, you will absolutely recognize it on sight: the thick yarn; the distinctive patterns; the warmth of the raw sheep's wool. But a Cowichan sweater is more than just a sweater, especially for the Coast Salish people from the Cowichan Tribes who make them. It's a provider of life, literally, as a way to put food on the table; it's a way to build community and share stories and connect to ancestors. To quote Ron Rice of the Victoria Native Friendship Centre as featured in filmmaker Mary Galloway's documentary The Cowichan Sweater: Our Knitted Legacy, “Cowichan sweaters are iconic. Cowichan sweaters are our path forward in so many different ways. Cowichan sweaters are a look back and a look forward all at the same time.” Writer, director, filmmaker, and actor Mary Galloway hails from Coast Salish Territory, and her beautiful film brings viewers into the past, present, and future of the Cowichan sweater while taking us along on a deeply personal quest: to recreate a sweater that was worn by her late grandfather, Chief Dennis Alphonse, who was chief for 40 years. The Cowichan Sweater: Our Knitted Legacy is now available on CBC Gem and will have its first national television broadcast on December 23. In this fascinating and revealing conversation with Sabrina Rani Furminger, Mary reflects on her journey into this important part of her own legacy. Episode sponsor: UBCP/ACTRA

On the morning of January 1st,1970, Edith Beiling, a school aide, took notice of something strange in the skies near Alexander Elementary school in British Columbia, Canada. Beiling rushed outside after spying the strange object through the window and having no good explanation for what she was seeing. The object seemed to hold a ring shape and have something solid in the middle. Beiling recalls being one of several witnesses who had sighted the mysterious object. The object was described as having a texture similar to rolled up plastic and being “...big enough to fit a large plane inside it 15 times.” This sighting has often been connected to another incredible close encounter that took place earlier that morning at the local hospital where a number of medical staff were witness not only to a strange craft, but its occupants, as well.
