Jim Csek sits down with Geoff Moyse, KC to break down the evolving legal landscape around Aboriginal title in B.C., comparing the long-standing recognition of Haida title in Haida Gwaii with the recent Richmond land-title ruling that shocked homeowners and raised national concern.

Moyse explains how the Haida Gwaii precedent differs, why the Richmond ruling represents a major shift in private-land vulnerability, and what future appeals could mean for landowners, industry, and governments. The discussion highlights overlapping claims, legal timelines, and the growing uncertainty around property rights throughout British Columbia.
