Constitutional lawyer Shawn Buckley returns to join Nadine Wellwood on Sovereign Voice for a revealing discussion about property rights, Aboriginal title, UNDRIP, the Crown, family farms, Alberta self-determination, and who truly controls the land Canadians believe they own.
Following their widely viewed conversation about Canadian sovereignty, Shawn and Nadine examine what ownership actually means. Is owning property simply having your name on a title—or does the real owner ultimately remain whoever controls what can be built, changed, transferred, financed, or taken away?
The discussion explores:
property rights in Canada
who really owns Canadian land
fee-simple and allodial ownership
the Crown’s role in land title
Aboriginal title and private property
UNDRIP Article 26
the Cowichan decision in Richmond, BC
the Wolastoqey title claim in New Brunswick
mortgages, farms, homes, and land values
Alberta independence and self-determination
whether Canada faces a constitutional crisis
citizen action, courage, and government power
Shawn argues that Canada is approaching a defining constitutional moment involving property ownership, Indigenous title, equality before the law, and the power of ordinary citizens. The interview examines what these developments could mean for homeowners, farmers, businesses, lenders, and Albertans considering a different constitutional future.
The 2025 Cowichan decision recognized Aboriginal title to part of the claim area in Richmond and required governments to negotiate the reconciliation of competing interests. The New Brunswick Court of Appeal took a different approach to privately held land in the Wolastoqey case, leaving significant legal uncertainty across Canada.
