Poaching Case In Court

[IronNoggin]

The defense lawyer for a Penticton Indian Band Councillor facing poaching charges is considering a constitutional defense revolving around the aboriginal right to hunt.

“Depending on how discussions go with the Crown, we may serve notice of constitutional question regarding the applicability of the statute as part of aboriginal rights to hunt,” she said.

The charges are related to two elk that were allegedly harvested on private land.

I, for one, do not believe the constitutionally protected aboriginal hunting rights offer anything in the eway of access to private (deeded title) lands. It would appear this lawyer is prepping to challenge this.

Spooky!

Wouldn't surprise me in the least if they win this. Do you seriously think anyone in our Liberal society is going to go against them. I'll be more surprised if they don't win.

Deeded land wont exist (maybe in my lifetime) unless you are a very small minority, if things continue. Another scary case to watch.
