Peter McKay speaks about sovereignty

August 2, 2007 By Chris Corrigan First Nations 2 Comments

Canada’s foreign minister on how you claim sovereignty:

“You can’t go around the world these days dropping a flag somewhere, this isn’t the 14th or 15th century. “

Interesting.   Will a series of conversations about Aboriginal title now ensue?   This is exactly how Canada did it as recently as 1851 in British Columbia.   The sole claim that the Crown has to the indigenous lands of this province stems from the fact that someone surveyed the land and claimed it for the Crown.   That’s all it took. Just thought I’d note that.

The courts have taken a fairly dim view on wheter or not these means that Aboriginal title was extinguished at that time, so perhpas McKay has some hope yet.

    lol. I guess he means 14th 15th or 19th century.
    Now we’re more sophisticated in defining sovereignty, of course. That is, when we get around to it.
