Right or wrong.....this is going to be bad for any kind of economic development. This will be like paying off the Mafia.

If you were a developer or a real estate agent you would be looking for a new career in Vancouver as city council just screwed you!

Regina is talking about the chilcotin decision, which is far more serious than this Vancouver posturing that doesn't mean anything. "It's your land, and we're so nice to say so, but we're still going to use it and not pay you anything for it." Hypocrites.

It's a "feel good" statement. It has no legal weight. Just gives those making it warm feelings inside.

On the issue of monies, if any are to be paid, it sure as hell won't (and shouldn't) come from the City of Vancouver.

It isn't Vancouver's bill to pay.

DrCaleb DrCaleb:

I'm waiting for everyone to realize that this argument is circular and will never end until people decide to end it. Then we can get on with what needs to be done.

The first people, who may have been European, got supplanted by the Clovis people; who got replaced by the "First Nations", and the Siberian Thule who probably wiped out the Dorset people and tossed out the Vikings; all of whom were tossed aside by European settlers.

'Who was first' is mostly irrelevant to 'who is here now' and 'what needs to be done for our future'.
