BC Land Grab Updates, Vaughan Shooting & Toronto Police Visit

Episode summary

Darren Cabral and Matteo break down three headline stories: the BC “land grab” and Aboriginal title fight affecting property owners in and around Vancouver, a Vaughan homeowner who shot an armed intruder in self-defence, and a Toronto woman who had police show up at her house over a social media post. They connect these cases to the bigger picture of crime, housing, immigration and government control. The episode also explains how Aboriginal land claims can affect so-called “fee simple” ownership and what Canadian self-defence law allows when someone breaks into your home.
