RE:RE:Recap on blueberryDidn't ARK and others get some licenses to drill on the territory in the last couple of months? If so, who is allowed to drill and under what scenario?

If you win your treaty case the BC taxpayer refunds you. Anyway, and not surprisingly, the Blueberry First Nation won their case and the BC government was delighted and reimbursed all costs. I switched most of my BC holdings to Alberta.
As a BC resident I am disgusted that my tax money went to this and wondered if other treaty lands would be involved. Naturally this precedent is being used for new claims and we will see what transpires.
