Former MLA says Cowichan title decision “predictable result of generations of political inaction”

Adam Olsen wrote in The Tyee this week that this month’s BC Supreme Court ruling that recognized Cowichan title to a section of lands south of the Fraser River was “part of a legal trajectory the Crown has been warned about for decades.”

Olsen joined Midcoast Morning to share his perspective on the case.
